I wish I could offer you some sound hope. I am 48 and faired alright most of my life although I always knew something wasn't right. I raised my kids and did okay, but mostly my relationships suffered because I was always discontented though not angry. The last two years for me have been hell, the anger has kicked in and recently I was diagnosed with BPD. I have also read about symptoms getting better with age, but cannot yet attest to that. Younger or older I surely wish we could all experience more relief, as it can surely be a painful and lonely road. When were you diagnosed? You can PM me if you'd like.
