Many write they don't get taken serious by therapists. Is that true? However, asking this question might be biased because we cannot listen to both sides. I don't know what is just a clichee and what is true. It probably depends on the individual. There is a very stupid borderline woman in the clinic I am currently in. There are also a lot of friendly and intelligent ones. Honestly, seemingly 80% of the women there seem to have borderline. But now back to the stupid one. She threatened suicide in front of all the other patients. It was so so fucking obvious she was not serious. The staff knew it, the other patients knew it. It was so fucking obvious. It was a slap in the face of the people in this group who are serious with suicidality. But there are also borderline affected people who are serious about it in the clinic. She is just an obvious bad apple.
I have made a short research and seemingly 5-10% of all people with borderline commit suicide within 15 years. And 80% self-harm. According to chatGPT there are equally as many males as females who are affected. (That surprises me). But 70% of patients in psychological care are females. BPD men seem to be more often in prisons or in the forensic. That's interesting.
