This! I love those times!
However, apart from this, I also feel that although I could list a lot of things I like about myself, I have never considered them to be part of my BPD. Perhaps that is because I'm new to the diagnosis! But for me it's very episodic - I spend a while feeling terrible and I hide away and don't really do anything useful, whereas when I'm doing well, that is when my positive qualities really come out, and I believe I would have those qualities even if I didn't also have the bad times.
I don't know. I do like the idea of making it a positive thing though
