IncitingChaos Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Does anyone think Axl falls into the category of Borderline Personality Disorder?http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorderSymptoms include:Markedly disturbed sense of identityIntense or uncontrollable emotional triggersUnstable interpersonal relationships and self-esteemConcerns about abandonmentSelf-damaging behaviorImpulsivityFrequently accompanied by depression, anxiety, anger, or rageThis topic will probably be moved, but I found the symptoms interesting and how well it fit Axl. Maybe some would agree, but I imagine this will turn into an argument. Share your opinions as always. I hope this topic isn't offensive.

EvH Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Let's hope Beta will use "The Psychology of the Axl" as the title of her son's eventual biography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Who knows... If he does, I wish him well. Psychological disorders are no joke. People who suffer from them deserve a lot of understanding and in some cases sympathy. In any event, this kind of discussion definitely belongs in the forum's Civil War section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what gets me every time. Axl has had enough cash to see a million therapists yet he's still as fixated and spiteful as ever when it comes to Slash. Where's the healing? Was there nobody he ever sat on a couch with that eventually went:"For fuck sake, would you ever let it go man, it was twenty fucking years ago, you sound like such a bitch; you are way better than this!!!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone seriously needed to bitch slap him at some point. It's very clear that whatever his issues are or have been that he's been 100% enabled by his handlers, yes men and leeches. Sad but true. Nobody has ever stood up to him. He's been coddled like a fucking 2 year old. I wouldn't be surprised if half his issues now boil down to that. Nobody ever saying Fuck You Axl. Mental issues aren't something to laugh at but when you've seemingly surrounded yourself with people who do nothing but praise the ground you walk on how the fuck will anyone ever be half way normal? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 But lets say it bi polar. mood swings. So that's just like kind of normal then something triggers a manic episode. Shit goes south. But when it's over it's like back to normal again. There's nothing to learn about it. Once they calm down its not the same person. So actually keeping Axl undisturbed could be the best way. The only way. Telling bi Polars to go fuck themselves has no lasting effect. So yes men is the way to go. If he's a real narcissist then again you can't change that. I don't think he is. He doesn't lack empathy. And no therapist is going to say go call Slash the co dependent. Get back together with your junkie friends that will be good for you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagullview Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Lol yet another diagnosis on this forum. So he's now bi polar, ocd, borderline disorder, narcissist personality disorder...what else?He may not hate Slash that much anymore, he just doesn't want anything to do with him. Why does he have to make friends with someone just because 20 years have passed? Is there a time limit involved? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you slap the sense into Axl, cause that works. He does this himself occasionally.Problem is I think: yes men don't bitchslap. They enable. I think GUNNER PT suggested tough love by using the Sean Connery method, which is encouraging logical thinking through the determined bitchslapping of a bitch.We all know how it goes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm posting YOUR quotes and somehow in your mind that isn't being "honest?"And how are we supposed to know that you are being "ironic"????? Maybe the poster in this topic who said Axl needed to be slapped was just being "ironic" as well???? Why is it OK for you to say that somebody needs to bitchslap somebody "like a man" but then you get mad and offended when somebody else says that Axl should get slapped? Why the double-standard?So confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does he have to make friends with someone just because 20 years have passed? Is there a time limit involved?I don't think we have a diagnosis. But there's a lot of people talking about Axls violent moods from Stiler, Everly, Niven, Dougie, Izzy, security guards everywhere.Duff has said he has empathy for Axl because he suffers from something as uncontrollable in panic attacks. So right there, that's a pointer. Far be it for us losers to come up with diagnosis and think we can solve it. But I think there's a legit insight into why things in GNR happen certain ways. I've never got why Slash never got that or played it like its for no good reason. Maybe he did but it just got lost in the media. I give the benefit of the doubt. Steven. Why I guess the more fucked up you are the less forgiving you are of others. He seems like an innocent. Of course someone acting like Axl does sometimes is an asshole. I just wonder if the uncontrollable element is factored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
