there simply aren't these hard and fast divisions between 'mentally ill' and 'not mentally ill' or between 'borderline personality' or 'bipolar' or whaver other 'mental illness' you care to name...

I find it much more comfortable to not even think in terms of labels and just think in terms of behaviors and/or thoughts that I would like to work on changing. It's quite easy to get one's mind stuck in referring to one's self as a label-- when-- in actuality, we are all so much more than any label could ever define.
