Ok, sometimes I'm really not the sharpest tool in the shed. It took me until today to realize that the attachment was added into the first post. You even wrote that it was.

So moving past that, I was impressed with your assessment. Not only with the assessment, but with the many similarities we share. What struck me most was when you posted later on about moving past your problems and becoming a productive member of society. Also, the whole personality disorder thing. This is something that scares the crap out of me daily. The amazing thing is that although I'm a complete mess, I can often turn around and function as a completely different person in regards to work and school. The only time this doesn't work for me, is when my my bipolar steps in and throws me into a depressive episode. I was diagnosed with borderline pd when I was 18. Whether or not I am set to have this for the rest of my life, I still believe I can function in a work setting. I am scared to apply for my doctoral degree. I am scared at what will happen if I don't get in, I'm scared what will happen if I do... I am the same as you... I animate when I talk about psychology, school, clients, my parrots, or my art (poetry). What excites me and scares the hell outta me at the same time, is that in May I am starting my practicum/internship, and that once I get comfortable there, I will have my own clients. I will be someone's therapist. Yikes. Damn. Geez. Wow. Help. I don't know what to think. I think we will be okay.
