But I do want to work on it all too, and manage to have stable friendships and do well in college for once, I just don't really know how, and my therapist isn't really too helpful. Does anyone have any advice, or things you wish you knew when you were first diagnosed?

Do your self a favor and don't read to much about it right now. I did and it was a mistake (diagnosed 07/2013)... When a person is diagnosed with cancer (which I have been) the doctors office tells them not to play doctor or detective on the Internet. It will scare you and it will depress you. The way they write about bpd is not true. We're not monsters, were extremely loving people with an emotional system that didn't develop properly due to our early environment/trauma (most of us anyways). With honest, hard work, you will be just fine. It's all up to us on which way were going to take our lives. It's literally learning the game of mind control and not reacting with our emotions, instead using our logical minds... I'm not going to lie, it is hard as hell. Life is hard and nothing worth it is ever easy. The info on the Internet makes a person feel helpless due to negative stigma. The good side, now you know what your dealing with and you can make healthy choices to feel better..
