By it's very nature the condition that is BPD is a mental illness. Therefore should we assume that no matter what we discuss about the condition, we will NEVER really know what goes on in the mind of a mentally ill person?  Is it always just a case of "second guessing"?

I think that is a fair assumption to make.  I suffer from depression, it's a mental illness, if you shared the fact with me that you experience depressive symptoms too that doesn't mean you would therefore have the same experience I do.

We can all tick boxes on a check list and have a rough guess at our exs feelings and thoughts but that doesn't mean we can fully grasp what they are experiencing.

I believe that is true for all human experience of "another", dysfunctional or not.
