I think my experiences are outdated and really no longer valid. There are new treatments and better outlook for BPD sufferers. Professional opinions have changed. If you go to one that does not have this new outlook RUN like a dog OUT of HE**.

My advice get into treatment move if you have to, DO what therapists tell YOU to do, follow the programs, practice practice practice your skills on an hourly basis. Be honest with your treatment team. DONT play any games. STOP the behaviors CHECK yourself watch yourself. Only control yourself and STOP worrying about other people act. Take advantage of newer better life opportunities new jobs new training new financial aid for education. Go on the system while you are getting better.

There is no hope for us oldies. Our choices are significantly decreased due to age. When I was your age everyone believed this condition had a very poor prognosis so there were no services except crisis there was no financial aid etc.
