It is interesting how dependent on the name of our illness, we are.......when someone asks us what's wrong? It's like we have to an elaborate illness complete with a name we cannot simply say, "My mind is racing/my affect is flat/I feel dissociated...........people are always curious if one seems a little off, and we cannot be too dependent on the name of our illness, well, I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, perhaps, we are just off, because that is our personality at the moment, because just as people may look different, depending on the day, we may feel a little different, due to either external issues, or, more often than not for me, my inner life, has its own ebb and flow........
