Borderline personality disorder. Alcoholism. Fame.


HistoricalMeat

I was in denial about him having BPD in the first few seasons, but by the end the show is a character study in BPD.


nickibar96

Yeah… my wife most likely has it. All signs point to it. And she HATES BoJack because of how much he reminds her of herself.


HistoricalMeat

The show really portrays what happens when a BPD person has too much money and is insulated from consequences by fame. I think being obscenely rich is one of the worse things that can happen to a BPD person.


nickibar96

You don’t say? 😂 maybe it’s a good thing my wife and I are poor


cadieniscadien

I agree. I believe Diane also has bpd and her being a woman and a poc, as well as not being famous makes her symptoms present differently.


HistoricalMeat

Does Diane have BPD? I always assumed GAD and depression.


cadieniscadien

it's not confirmed or as widely believed as Bojack having bpd, but based on her childhood, her inability to write the story she wants to tell due to a "fog" (fog can be a common trauma response, especially with bpd, to repress traumatic memories), her concept of good damage, her pushing away ppl close to her, self destructive tendencies, alcohol use, and aversion to fame. also it really explains why Bojack and Diane have the relationship they do. they enable each other, but also uniquely understand each other in a way others can't.


HistoricalMeat

I can kind of see it.

Shut up Todd


goodguyScratch1

Bojack


IHateYoutubeAds

His name is Bojack, that's a pretty big one.


cadieniscadien

bpd. trama, substance abuse, self destruction, lack of self worth, instability in self image. literally his personality disorder makes him, him.


cadieniscadien

also his obsession with fame and attention, which is not really a symptom but is common with BPD, and it's also a product of his upbringing. bpd is mostly caused by childhood trauma, so we could really say his upbringing has made him who he is, but that could be said about everyone.


EnvironmentalSet7664
