Thanks RC for posting this. I spent a long time being treated for a range of symptoms including addiction, depression and mood swings before getting a bpd diagnosis. I see a lot of the things in this artical that could ne applied to me but also many aspects of my behaviour and ideation that are definitely not "quiet". I feel I oscillate between internalised and externalised reactions which is in itself part of my issue.

That sense of dissociation that is mentioned in the article is really significant as I have had some experiences of this. I worked in Oxford for a while and found it impossible to recognise it as a real place but rather felt it was like some sort of film set or theatre stage that I was walking through.
