BPD

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Do psychopaths or those with personality disorders experience frustration and pain first...or are they just born that way? So human beings are inherently evil or human beings are inherently good? Susanna has extremely unstable interpersonal relationships. She is unable to form a long-term and stable relationship with others. She uses promiscuity to cover up the strong emptiness in her heart. Impulsivity is synonymous with her, and her cognition to the outside world depends on her own emotions. I think this video is a good introduction to Borderline Personality Disorder. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Between the polarities of black and white, their behavior patterns, their rich emotions, and their struggles are unimaginable to ordinary people. This is not a film about women's friends, nor is it a Hollywood blockbuster. Human nature, personality, and mental illness are the main themes, and growth and healing are the themes. We have all had crazy thoughts, naive thoughts, and angry behaviors. If it weren't for the constraints of rules and the fear of punishment, perhaps human beings would not be where they are today. We all grieve, sad, pain, hate, angry, we all have desires, weaknesses, incompetence, which is a symbol of human nature, just like we can be happy, happy, content. Crazy doesn't mean broken or swallowing indoor secret, it's you and me. Face yourself and accept yourself. What attracts me is not the exaggerated performances, because I know their truth, nor the happy ending, because I know that people can always beat themselves. What could be better than this?

Girl, Interrupted quotes

  • Daisy: You're just jealous, Lisa... because I got better... because I was released... because I have a chance... at a life.

    Lisa: They didn't release you 'cause you're better, Daisy, they just gave up. You call this a life, hmm? Taking Daddy's money, buying your dollies and your knick-knacks. And eating his fucking chicken, fattening up like a prize fucking heifer? You changed the scenery, but not the fucking situation - and the warden makes house calls. And everybody knows. Everybody knows. That he fucks you. What they don't know... is that you like it. Hmm? You like it.

    Susanna: [to Lisa] Shut the fuck up!

    Lisa: [to Susanna] Hey man, it's cool, it's okay. It's fine, it's fucking fine! A man is a dick is a man is a dick is a chicken... is a dad... a Valium, a speculum, whatever, whatever.

    [then turns to Daisy]

    Lisa: You like being Mrs. Randone. Probably all you've ever known.

    Daisy: Have fun in Florida.

    [she goes upstairs to her room]

  • Janet: I want my fucking clothes!

    Valerie: Then you'll have to eat something, won't you?

    Janet: [singing] Oh Lordy, pick a bale o' cotton / Oh Lordy, pick a bale o' hay / Gotta jump down spin around pick a bale o' cotton / Jump down spin around, pick a bale o' hay...

    Valerie: [to Susanna] She thinks that bothers me.
