I do know how you feel (in my own way). I knew I had bpd but was later diagnosed with multiple personality disorder which my doctor explained was a symptom of bpd. He said everyone who had this also has bpd. I was completely overwhelmed with shame and inferiority, not to mention that I grew up in a family as the child of my mother’s first marriage (this was back in the 60s when divorce was not common.) I was the reminder of my mother’s mistake. My adoptive step father hated me. I didn’t belong. I grew up feeling that I didn’t fit.
BUT, no coin has only one side. BPD is no exception.
It is a fallacy to think anyone gets out of this life without struggle. You might have to be older to see this but trust me, it’s true. We are all going to experience suffering.
The faulty thinking is that we compare our insides with other people’s outsides. We assume because they look confident their life is easier........
So the good side to bpd....you will be forced to really look inside and develop yourself in a way that will make you both strong and insightful. You will become wise. And who knows who you will later help. And you certainly won’t be boring or average 💖
