Hugs to you Shezbut!
I don't quiet understand --- I have heard some say they are no longer BPD however they still have tendencies-- I have also heard some say- I am not longer BPD but I have to tame myself....
To me this is still BPD but you have found Coping Methods to help you tremendously, It is like going on meds and finding coping skills.. I am confused on how the BPD just goes a way...
I am sorry to be confused... And I don't mean to offend anyone.
My T and Pdoc DX me as Bipolar2, Sever PTSD and BPD Traits--
So if I am lucky Hypothetically the Bipolar2 and PTSD will stay but the BPD would eventually go away with coping skills-- But yet the Bipolar2 could be managed with meds and therapy and the PTSD with therapy as well.... thus the same as BPD (manged with coping skills and perhaps meds).
I am sorry for your confusion Shezbut- I am not trying to put more on there, it just my confusion on how to not be labeled with such--- not that i entirely hate it, this due to it does explain a lot for me at least.....
Best wishes to you both Shezbut and Atypical Disaster
