I Have Borderline Personality Disorder I was diagnosed at 16 and didn't accept it until I had...

in part of my work i deal with people that are off the "main sequence" [i]a term borrowed from stellar physics[/i]
if normal is the middle of the bell curve, i think we are unwise to count those closer to the ends as being, off or pathological
certainly some are, but i find that many are just [i]in the wrong place[/i] a person well suit4d to farming wil not be happy in an office world
A wild ass adventurer ( yes me) does not fit well in a corporate environment
I like the analogy, of the Cartoon world everyone is some kind of animal you wouldn't expect Dr Hound to be Like Professor Duck
equally.
a Zebra is not a horse gone wrong.

thoughts?

I too have BPD. It definitely makes life interesting. I am finally going through a treatment plan and it is helping me see my thinking needs to be changed. It is hard, but at least it is starting to work.

Congratulations!!! It sounds as you did a soon and great job.
I don't want to sugar coat you either. But I have to say what I think. I know how hard this disorder can be. Some people see how borderlines hurt others but I know they also suffer a lot.
Go ahead! There are many things a person with borderline personality disorder can offer to other because of their special sensitiviness.
