Absolutely! I was homicidal when I was first diagnosed and labelled with "psychopathic anti-social behavioural tendencies". It really fit. I was constantly in trouble with the law and I often had to be escorted from my psychologists office by a well- meaning, burly, 6 foot 2 nurse with a hypodermic. I was hospitalised a lot and regulated.

Man, I am glad I did not end up in jail. Came very close. One more strike and your out!

Rage is my greatest nemesis and even though I am suspicious of it and inherently terrified of being angry, we are closer than ever before and we can sit in the same room as each other without too much anxiety(a long as we are not touching!). But therapy (CBT) and bucketloads of meds was the only way I could come through it. My poor psychologist whom I'm sure feared for her life on a few occasions stuck with me for 6 years.

I am not proud of what I have done but I try not to live with regret. At least I did not kill anybody. But that rage had to go somewhere and I took a lot of drugs, drank a lot of alcohol and perpetuated physical self harm. Classic Borderline. You do learn how to make it feel better but it takes a while. Not all Borderlines experience such intense rage like mine but I intimately and somewhat fondly, know anger.
