Most accurate representation of BPD ever depicted
eric_walker19 May 2023
Oooof.
This one hurt. Kinda triggering, honestly.
My late spouse struggled with mental health. Plenty of differing diagnosis over the years. Eventually diagnosed with BPD. Just like Rebecca.
When that switch goes off in Rebecca's head and she has that "splitting" episode (Google 'BPD splitting') and just *hurts everyone that cares about her as savagely as possible*, that's very real. It can actually happen with far less of a trigger than in intervention.
And something I've never seen depicted in TV/Film so brutally true to reality.
This entire series has been a difficult, but important, watch for me.
"I'm a good person" and "You stupid B" and "I'm the villain in my own story" in particular were such amazingly accurate representations of the way my spouse would view themself at different times. In fact they practically said those things verbatim on different occasions, but never watched the show.
This show isn't just good, It's IMPORTANT that it exists.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Warning: Spoilers
The first 25-30 minutes of this was genius and one of the best Crazy Ex's to date. They perfectly parodied horror movies while making it clear that even for this show the behavior of Rebecca was not that far from her normalcy.
Then they had the come to earth moment and when things got back to normal it wasn't that crazy. Then the Josh Groban song happened and it was great.
Easily the best of the season.
