I don't know about a cure. I read 'get me out of here' and it ended when it ended and I often wonder what the rest of her life was like.

For me, I think I would like the support of therapy forever. At least that's my thought right now, having just been diagnosed a couple of years ago after many many years of not being in the kind of therapy that I need. My therapy isn't like rachael reiland's either, it is more supportive. But then I'm older and I act in rather than out; she was young and acted out frequently.

My therapy is for support and growth and to help me manage the intense internal emotional storms, to be able to experience emotional regulation, and just a lot of issues.

We all have different needs. Some need help to grow so they can hold a job and enjoy being self-supportive. Others need help to grow so they can stay out of jail. Still others want help to grow to change family relationships. So many things are affected by how we function and BPD interferes with those things.

To me the cure is feeling better. Most of my life is past me, but I am still here and I want to feel better and enjoy the things I enjoy and feel like I belong in the world.
