Sometimes "borderline" is the label therapists give to difficult clients, sometimes, unfortunately, without enough thought to it. I admire a lot of qualities that I have seen in several people who are/were borderline. When they start understanding themselves, they often develop a deep wisdom and maturity that you can't really get any other way. They learn to laugh at themselves and accept that things never stay the same, and that it's okay. Some of my favorite people are borderline. Everyone needs to be known for who they are, though, and not for their dx.
