High functioning to me is that the symptoms of BPD I mentioned in my first post in this thread are no longer running your life and you are able to function without it tying you down. I am glad you are happy now.

Its comforting to know its possible to get to the point you are at. Did you find a therapist who specialized in BPD? What kind of therapy did you do that helped you the most?
