BPD is NOT who you are. I've had a close relationship with 2 people that have BPD, and they couldn't be any different!!!
I don't know if anything I'm saying helps or matters, but at least you can recognize the monkey on your back.
I wish you lots of luck!  |
Thank you, what you said is extremely helpful. It made me think. I've had a few friends (mostly online) who had BPD that I felt were pretty good friends. They were all different like you said.
I don't want the BPD to be who I am, to define the rest of my life. I wanna over come it and move on not only for my sake, but for the sake of my kids.
I know I was relatively lucky to be diagnosed at 20, wish I hadn't spent almost a year after that screwing up my life and wasting time. but I've known people who were diagnosed later in life, and I'm glad I wasn't. Hopefully it's not too late for me.
