I agree with that, but most people with CPTSD do not necessarily exhibit the same behaviors required of BPD. Borderline personality disorder REQUIRES that someone is unstable, angry, empty, self-harming, and paranoid. CPTSD is just a word for prolonged exposure to trauma (and MOST trauma is not interpersonal, meaning MOST trauma will affect you but not your perception of other people leading to splitting and arguing and abandonment fears). None of CPTSD's suggested symptoms (suggested because it's not a recognized diagnosis) have anything to do with what BPD's symptoms are.
BPD as outlined in the DSM:
>Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment.
>A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation.
>Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self.
>Impulsivity in at least two potentially self-damaging areas (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating).
>Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures or threats, or self-mutilating behavior.
>Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and rarely more than a few days).
>Chronic feelings of emptiness.
>Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger
>Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or dissociative symptoms.

Compare that to CPTSD's suggested symptoms (ICD-11)
>Re-experiencing the traumatic event after the traumatic event has occurred, in which the event(s) is not just remembered but is experienced as occurring again in the here and now.
>Deliberate avoidance of reminders likely to produce re-experiencing of the traumatic event(s).
>Persistent perceptions of heightened current threat, for example as indicated by hypervigilance or an enhanced startle reaction to stimuli such as unexpected noises.
