It does suck, the longer you wait the harder it gets. I agree if caught early on the prognosis is much better! But rarely are personality disorders caught early on. It is sad, but I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I understand where I am and why and what the prognosis for me is. I am under no delusion regarding that. I prefer the truth! Narcs and sociopaths don't care and rarely ever seek help. Only our schizo cousins share this dilemma we are in. I suppose for some people with just bpd and are really dedicated and motivated to get better and stick with it, and have the money for long term therapy, for them, the prognosis may be better and good for them! For most of us, we are in for a long and rough ride.
