Yea, you've got 'em.

....and BPD IS part of the real you. BPD does have a few advantages that should not be overlooked. BPD makes us sensitive to other people's issues, it makes us more caring and empathetic, and the vast majority of us are more academic and/or creative due to the BPD. We don't want to get rid of it. We just want to be able to control it instead of it controlling us.
