There are spectrum's of BPD. I am on the low end meaning I am high functioning. I hold a job and have been married for 11 years. I never had any treatment up until last year. Did not even know my problem was BPD but my cPTSD gives me more problems. I actually sought help for my bulimia. I am serious issues that cause me serious problems but still manage to be a productive member of society. I can only imagine what an amazing success I could have been without these disorders.
