Yeah, I'm mentally ill and a lot of my self-hatred is unwarranted. Rome wasn't built in a day; just burned in a night. I'm working on things and I don't think I'll rise from the ashes of my autophobia with just a few kind words. I appreciate it, but this is going to take time. I am intelligent and I did have a lot to offer. What truly pisses me off is that I lost hope in being able to live up to my potential. That's something I'm working on, too. Sometimes I don't even see myself polarizing things to black and white. There's no middleground for me; all or nothing, no matter what. If that's what you say, I'll try to accept that.

Yes, you are right all of our brains are broken if you want to put it that way. I'm not going to tell you that the road ahead of you will be easy or fast, it won't it will have times of good progress with periods of setbacks. You still have a lot to offer, it's just when you are in the dumps it can be next to impossible to remember that with all the pain you are dealing with. You don't see yourself polarizing, don't feel bad, I'm just starting to catch myself once in a great while, and this is with someone who is 42yrs. old and has been involved with DBT for over four years. BPD sucks and I feel anybody dealing with it is stronger than the average person. I mean really who else could deal with this s%^t. You have a long road ahead of you but you can do it, it's just going to take time.
