Thanks Patti - I think I'll try your suggestion instead. I don't need any help being depressed. I definately do the splitting thing myself and am only now starting to recognize when I do it. Sounds like the person writing the book had some issue and perhaps was splitting too.

I have read James Masterson regarding BPD and really liked what he had to say in The Search for the Real Self which explores what it is and how it comes about and possibilities for treatment.

I'm only now hearing how BPD is considered by some to be untreatable and how much of a stigma it has. What a bum wrap.
