No, because its curable and other MI are not curable and require life-long maintenance on psychotropic drugs. Plus there are positive attributes borderlines have that are not found in "sane" people. Personally I think BPD is not as bad as the other mental health conditions I suffer/suffered from.
I think so, one thing I've been learning about lately is duality, which is a hard concept for me to integrate into my world. But I've made the first steps in acknowledging that it exists.  |
Just curious whether you meant to say "non-duality" - from what I understand people with BPD (which I'm pretty sure includes me) believe a situation is black or white/good or bad etc., which would be "duality". Non-duality however is the concept more of "is-ness" where there isn't definite black and white. It's a Buddhist concept more or less. Buddhism is a good path for BPD's I think.
