I totally agree with you, Wolfsong. I truly believe I"m BPD but I am and have NEVER been violent or threatned violence. I think there are "acting-out" people with BPD and "acting in" people with BPD. I tend to be one of those individuals who acts in.
But I do think that all people with BPD have a significant degree of self-loathing or anger directed inward, anger directed outward (ie. no one loves them or supports them, they are isolated and alone!), impulsivity (in the areas of: drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, shopping, binging with food, restricting food, thrill seeking etc.), abandonment/rejection issues etc. I don't know about you but I sure as heck don't want to be that way anymore. I just want to be "normal" . .. what ever the heck that is suppose to be in the world as this time and moment!
