Having Borderline Personality Disorder

http://havingborderlinepersonalitydisorder.bl…

This blog is about living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I focus on positive coping strategies but also outline the many obstacles to recovery from this illness. Helping to dispel the stigma of mental illness, and in particular BPD, by writing honestly about it, is my main goal.

  Just when I think I've got it all together my borderline symptoms return with a vengeance.  One is fooled into thinking that progress has occurred while symptom free.  This return of symptoms is a reminder of how close to totally losing it I really...
