Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Well, I don't want to judge, but maybe she was just having a bad day. Although I have never attacked anyone, occasionally I get so frustrated with my co-workers that I contemplate smacking my head against a wall... It fails on BPD for me because she does it in public. I feel like a BPD would keep it together and take it out on her kids later. Like blame them that they didn't get there sooner or something.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Oh yeah probably not BPD. But I have had a few days when I've felt like doing this because my favorite treat wasn't available. I want my chocolate biscotti, damn it! Now that I don't have PMS it happens less often. > > > Well, I don't want to judge, but maybe she was just having a bad day. > Although I have never attacked anyone, occasionally I get so frustrated with > my co-workers that I contemplate smacking my head against a wall... > > It fails on BPD for me because she does it in public.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Wow, that is unbelievable. Something you see in the movies. I mean, I " ve been known to cry if I I'm really looking forward to something and it falls through but she must've been having an extremely bad day. On another note, I gotta try me one of those cupcakes. They must be extraordinary!! > > http://www.metro.co.uk/news/857135-cupcake-rage-as-customer-trashes-shop-for-not\ -having-favourite-flavour > > Sound familiar?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Fiona, that's a great idea! Lets have some of those cupcakes shipped to us! Or at least get the recipe. > > > Wow, that is unbelievable.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 If there was a video with this story its not there now (or, I just can't find it) so I haven't been able to see it. But I read the article and it mentioned another suspected assault by this same woman against a customer in another different kind of shop, and I believe that it mentioned that a fellow customer in the cupcake shop received a head injury as a result of her rage-tantrum. I'm predicting that when she is found she will be diagnosed as a very low-functioning borderline pd individual and probably also an alcoholic. And I hope they find her soon because those two little children in her care are in real danger and need to be removed to a safe place. *Inappropriate* and *extreme* rage, and suddenly triggering into an explosive rage are definitely traits of borderline pd. I guess a lot of you here didn't have that kind of nada; you had the whining waify or hermity kind instead. Mine RAGED. And we're talking red-faced, spittle-flying, eyes-bugged-out, violent screaming rage-tantrums, and physical assaults on small children and even on her husband. She'd try to hit him and would even throw things sometimes, and dad would just leave the house. Sister and I couldn't get away and had to endure getting shaken, slapped, hit, or even beaten with a belt when she was in one of these terrifying rage-tantrums and acting out violently. Triggered, perhaps, by a bed that wasn't made up perfectly, or spilling something in the kitchen. If my nada had been caught on tape in one of her rage-tantrums when we were little, Sister and I would have been removed from her care I'm pretty sure. The high-functioning bpds can usually hold in their rage until alone in the car with the kids (or alone at home with them) and then scream at them and drive erratically and nearly cause an accident on the way home. But the low-functioning ones have little or no ability to hold it in, and let loose in public like that. Its why the low-functioning ones usually can't hold down a job or keep on good terms with the neighbors or family members: they " let it all hang out. " Its only a matter of time before she triggers into a rage like that against her children, if she hasn't already. I bet she's got those kids terrorized, paralyzed in fear of her, already. Actually wrecking a place and inflicting a head injury on an innocent bystander is pretty extreme even for bpd behavior. That level of physical acting out is more typical for males who get " fighting drunk " in bars and get into altercations with other customers. That's why I'm predicting she's both bpd and an alcoholic. Its not uncommon that when alcoholics try to dry out, they're often in foul mood and crave sweets to replace the alcohol (which is basically a complex sugar.) I hope those kids are rescued soon. -Annie > > http://www.metro.co.uk/news/857135-cupcake-rage-as-customer-trashes-shop-for-not\ -having-favourite-flavour > > Sound familiar?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yes, mine either raged at me or ignored me in private, and then played the waif/victim card in public. I'd describe her as medium/low functioning. But I don't think she really had the physical energy to beat me due to obesity and a terrible diet. She would slap, and she also was the MASTER of the back handed compliment which would pretty much shut me down. I think my nada would have been somewhat nice to the clerk if they ran out of her fav cupcake and then attacked me in the car.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi Annie, My nada absolutely raged and screamed and behaved violently, she just never did so in public. It was source of pride to her to appear perfect in public. So I guess it just didn't fit into what I've seen as borderline behavior that this mom lost it in public versus waiting until they were alone to go on her rage. > > > > http://www.metro.co.uk/news/857135-cupcake-rage-as-customer-trashes-shop-for-not\ -having-favourite-flavour > > > > Sound familiar?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Your nada and mine are alike then: high-functioning borderlines. They are virtually invisible to the psychiatric community, they are able to blend in, in public, and look normal. Its the low-functioning ones who come to the public's attention by acting out like that in front of people. -Annie > > > > > > http://www.metro.co.uk/news/857135-cupcake-rage-as-customer-trashes-shop-for-not\ -having-favourite-flavour > > > > > > Sound familiar?
