Demi Moore and BPD
When I read the People Magazine article about Demi Moore, while I was waiting to get a haircut, I thought of Borderline Personality Disorder. I guess I wasn’t the only one. Here is an “open letter to Demi Moore” from Alisa Valdes, the author, about BPD and being lovable. An Open Letter to Demi Moore By Alisa Valdes 1/26/2012 Dear Demi, I don’t know you. So I ask you to forgive my false familiarity. We have New Mexico in common, and I know of people who knew you growing up in Roswell. From what I’ve heard, you had a rough start in this world.

Ricky Williams and BPD
Ricky Williams retired from football this year. This article mentions that he had been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I had never heard that before. Ricky Williams retires again, but this time with respect Posted Tuesday, Feb. 07, 2012 By CLARENCE E. HILL JR. So the long, strange trip that was Ricky Williams’ NFL career is over.

Amy Winehouse and BPD
One of my twitter followers posted the original Daily Star article about Amy Winehouse and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Of course, I’d had Amy on my Celebrities with Possible BPD list for many years. If you want to read all of my articles about Amy Winehouse click here. I have no idea why the title includes ‘Mental Illness’ in quotes. Maybe it was because they were quoting the relative or maybe it brings up the question as to whether BPD is an actual mental illness. Here is the text of the article (and my comments below): TRAGIC AMY WINEHOUSE HAD ‘MENTAL ILLNESS’ TROUBLED Amy Winehouse suffered from an undiagnosed mental…

Did Marilyn Monroe have BPD?
In light of the new film about Marilyn Monroe, I found this about her: In one part of the book “Lost In The Mirror”, Dr. Richard A. Moskovitz, M.D. writes, “Elton John’s characterization of Marilyn Monroe as a candle in the wind captures the essence of the borderline personality. She is an elusive character lacking in identity, overwhelmed by a barrage of painful emotions, consumed by hunger for love and acceptance, and careening from relationship to relationship and impulse to impulse in a desperate attempt to control these feelings.” No related posts.
