Has anyone ever considered whether you might have BPD (not saying it's BPD, just asking)?
When having fun, do you just go too far or are you extremely and very unusually happy and goal-directed?

No, I do not have BPD. The BPD's have problems with long-term planning. I don't have that and I'm very stable with regard to what are my values.
No, I do not go too far in having fun. I can go to a family gathering where there is no alcohol, have fun in the way that we have much to laugh of together and be home at a decent time afterward. That is enough ...
It is the elevation of the activity level in the brain. I have taught myself to do relaxation exercise and more afterward. I am very sensitive to too much stimuli.
The first time I felt it this way, was after being a guest at a birthday party when I was 12. I was so happy the next day at school that the teacher reprimanded me for bad behavior! I didn't understand what I had done wrong. (I had only answered his questions while laughing).
To me it doesn't matter so much what the actual diagnose is. I have done the work that was necessary to be able to live with this. I think that we all are first and foremost human beings who need each other and that are to be treated with dignity.
By the way, I don't think there is a diagnose for everything!
Thank you for your interest in asking!
