#fp discourse

[mental-ch-illness]

all im saying is ppl get too caught up with the idea of a fp and focus solely on that when its not even an actual clinical term, plus the term is being used very lightly in people's asks

Yeah, it can be used lightly, but still. FP is a valid thing within the BPD community.

[1/?] so. why is that one anon so hellbent on trying to invalidate a bpd-related term? as if it's only valid if and ONLY if it's a Medically Recognized term? and i mean, god forbid the community become creative and create a wonderful term to easily -

[2/2] - and effortlessly describe their symptoms, rather than having to describe each symptom, right? like oh my goddd. this isn’t really a controversial thing and its not a big deal at all, i can’t believe someone is so bent over a TERM f f s.          

Not sure to be honest! Regardless, an FP is more or less a more common way to say ‘Person of current idealization’ which is medically recognized as a symptom. Willow and I were talking about this at lunch today and she said ‘My life made so much more sense once I learned what an fp was.’ and to be honest I couldn’t agree more. I’m sure most of my followers feel the same way!
