Rainbow, what would you like to be instead? I'd think up another name, unrelated, maybe positive, and "decide" I was it. Maybe pick one thing I didn't like the most and come up with a more specific name to remind me to work on it?

I was diagnosed "borderline" back in the early 1970s when it had it's first meaning, combination of neurotic and psychotic symptoms: http://psychcentral.com/disorders/sx10.htm but it's not an exact term still, I don't think. I ended up with my T working on "GAD" instead (for lack of another guiding principle :-)

Don't be borderline, be complex, creative, and curious. I did that in the early 1990s, decided I wanted to be a "3W woman" - warm, wise, and whimsical and had a teeshirt made to remind me who I was going to be when I grew up :-)
