I had BPD and PTSD added to my list about a year ago. Don't feel bad about it. CBT is good for BPD. As far as my traits, I just try to be more self aware so that they don't come out as much. It's hard work like any MI. You're going to be working on it your whole life. I do a lot of reading online to better understand myself and it's helped a lot. Or I just ask my pdoc if I have concerns.
