Maybe I should rephrase what I said - everyone exhibits borderline-like traits at times. Though I wouldn't call it that in real life. I'd say they were under stress or having a bad day. I think it's pretty normal to regress a bit under pressure. Though I see why calling that borderline-like is offensive. (Sorry Scarlet) All the more reason why Ts and mental health professionals should be uber-careful when they throw around phrases like that.

Btw, I really admire you for your acceptance of your diagnosis and how hard you work. I can relate to Iheartjacques when she says she wants to jump out of a window - just runaway get-it-out-get-it-out kind of feeling. I don't think I would handle being told something like that well...
