And when you read the traits (IE the book I hate you don't leave me) - you will likely see yourself over and over and over again.
It will all make sense. That is not to say all is better. But at least you will understand WHY you act the way you do.

I was reading up about BPD as soon as I got home the day I was diagnosed, and I found that book and read the parts of it that are available to read on google books. It was enjoyable and I plan to read the whole thing eventually, but reading those parts was something I shouldn't have done at that really emotional moment in time. Like you said, I saw myself over and over again, and in such a depressing mood, I let it bring me down that day.
