there can be a very fine line of distinction. and you don't want to take unnecessary meds!

has anyone recommended a therpay for you called dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)? it has (and continues to) helped save my life. marsha linehan created it for BPD as she herself has, for people who were not getting relief from anything else. look it up if you haven't heard of it. it can be very effective if you commit to it.

good luck!
