I am saying even as I agree that people go to extremes, disorder, dysregulation, dysfunction seems to say that someone has something wrong with them and I don't like to think that there is anything "generally" wrong with me. I have issues, true.. just like you but then I just feel that it's not all that abnormal. there are so many with it, is it realy that that many people are "messed up" this way (for lack of a better description)
