mazer, I thought the same way when I first found out, and the symptoms seemed only to magnify / intensify a hundred-fold as I learned more about the illness.

Although I could accept this diagnosis, because it fit so perfectly, I have had a real hard time with coping and learning how to cope (through Dialectic Behavioural Therapy). It has been about 5 years since I was given this dx, and I am still struggling to cope.

I don't know why, but somewhere inside me, I am glad I know. Did it make life any easier? Not really.

Feelin' your pain, if it's any consolation...
