Great success story thanks. My own diagnosis from a leading New York authority on BPD was as follows:
1) dr: (reads crtieria from DSM IV)
2) me: "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes"
3) me: "do I have BPD"
4) dr: "you fit the criteria"
5) me: "what can I do"
6) dr: "you'll need a lot of money"
True story and he was right about the money. The cheapest CBT/DBT program for BPD in NYC care is about $2500 per month, no insurance accepted. The better ones are upwards of $8000. There are no openings, these are all at capacity with a very rich clientele. Not that I'd be able to afford any of them anyway.
BPD is booming. And fashionable!
