Here is a link to an informative site and I'm sure there are many others.

In addition there are books about BPD to read: "I Hate You / don't Leave Me!!" by Jerold J Kreisman MD and Hal Straus, and one of my favorites: "get me out of here" by rachael reiland which follows her journey through therapy to recovery.

Because the causes/origins of BPD goes back to our earliest development, our subsequent stages of development were affected, leaving us with the symptoms we have. My therapist said she didn't want me to get all wrapped up in the diagnosis (she only confirmed it after I read a lot about it and thought it applied to me). She wants me to just explore with her my difficulties and struggles; we link them to develpmental stages to help me better understand them. Before change comes awareness and that's what we're working on.

Your symptoms will imrpove and you will get better. We could call this "Cotton Candy Disorder" and it wouldn't change anything...we would still have the uncomfortable symptoms we want to find relief from.
