"So, how did it go?" Twilight asked, getting up from the waiting room chair.

"It was great! We talked about my parents and my siblings and my childhood and my family history and he gave me something to help with the mood swings. He said I have Borderline Personality Disorder."

"I'm sorry...what did you say?"

"I said Ink Blots told me I have ~~bipolar disorder~~ Borderline Personality Disorder. So, where did you wanna get lunch?"

Reasons why this is bad

1. Most obviously = Symptoms

• Volatile emotions
• Impulsive and often dangerous behaviors (such as binge eating)
• A pattern of unstable relationships with friends and family including efforts to avoid real or perceived abandonment by plunging into relationships or leave them prematurely
• Depersonalization, disassociation and distorted identity
• Chronic feelings of emptiness (nononono)

• ~~Acts of self-harm and suicidal ideation~~(nonononononononononononono)

  1. Reasons why this makes you a terrible friend

• You've known Pinkie for years and you never realized anything was wrong

• You were there when (more than once) she tried to cut herself off from everypony after the slightest rejection and you didn't realize anything was wrong because you are a terrible friend.

• All those funny little quirks you and everypony have been laughing at all this time have actually been hints there was something horribly wrong and did I mention how much of a terrible friend you are?

• ~~You are supposed to be educated and well-informed and you are supposed to take care of everypony and what good is all your magic if you can't even help somepony who's suffering right in front of you?~~

  1. Reasons this changes everything

• For the rest of your life, whenever Pinkie tells you how much she loves you or overdoes it on Hearts and Hooves Day, you are going to be wondering if it is because of her BPD

• ~~BPD is passed genetically so if you two ever have foals, it's possible they will have it too~~

  1. The stability that you thought your relationship had never existed and your relationship will likely never be stable and you are just going to have to live with that and anyway you'll deserve it because-

CONCLUSION: -you are a terrible friend. Your relationship is doomed, but not because Pinkie is neurodivergent but because you are a TERRIBLE FRIEND who let this go on for too long without noticing it or doing anything about it you stupid, narcissistic-
