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.
