I was actually devastated when I was told I had BPD. That was years ago. It can be treated, but, as I say, it takes a lot of work on the patient's part.

When I look back, I cringe at all the bad things I said and did to people, not aware that I was in the wrong. The main thing is to try to see where our behaviors get off track, because we are overreacting, caused by past experiences such as being abandoned/abused, etc.
