The Most Urgent Mental Health Risk for All Cluster B's
The terrifying fate of many histrionics, narcissists, borderlines, and sociopaths...
On February 11, 1963, an ordinary woman woke before sunrise, prepared milk and bread for her sleeping children — a four year old and a one year old — placed them in their room, and carefully sealed their doorway with tape.
She walked to the kitchen, turned on her gas oven, placed a towel on the baking rack, and laid her head down upon it — her last time to ever close her eyes.
She died by gas poisoning at 30 years old.
The next year, her poetry would win a Pulitzer Prize.
Her name was Sylvia Plath.
At the time of her death, there was no formal diagnosis for the disorder that plagued her, but today she’s thought to be one of the most famous examples of people with Borderline Personality Disorder.
Some other famous examples of borderlines are Britney Spears, Princess Diana, 2Pac Shakur, and Vincent Van Gogh.
It’s interesting how the mental health disorder is one that’s deeply shunned, yet — just like with narcissism — it’s one that is comprised of people who many idolize.
