Princess Di and BPD
I just recently started a new poll about which celeb is most likely to have had (or has) BPD. So far I go 5 votes – three for Princess Di. It has been acknowledged in her biography that she probably did have BPD. Can anyone imagine what her life must have been like if that was true? I mean, here is one of the most sought-after and most photographed person in history and she had (or might have had) an unstable self-imagine? I can only imagine what she went through. If course she was killed in a tunnel in France, but I would have expected her to kill herself with all the pressures she had to have been faced with. Her life must have been hell. And I expect the royal family had little understanding of her emotional issues. So Sad.

English culture can be very loveless, upper-class English culture (which everyone is meant to emulate – it has “hedgemony”) is as loveless as it gets.
My own family problems come from grandparents stuck in a loveless marraige, and they were merely “aspirational” – if they’d just been happily poor, there might have been hope for them! but they had to try to be middle class and that meant emulating the upper class with their arranged marraiges and their stiff upper lips. And this is what caused my father to have BPD, as far as I can tell. So yes, I can understand Princess Di and what made the country go so nuts about her on an emotional level. It is indeed very sad.
