I'll just start this off by saying I haven't been officially diagnosed, but after researching/hearing a lot of stories from people who have been diagnosed i've come to the conclusion that it's most likely what I have since I have the symptoms pretty much to a T(am going to get tested for it ASAP) 

But the main issue in my mind is... Is it even possible to get better? I never really hear any success stories, all I ever hear about is the suicide rate, or the biases professionals seem to have against it, or how hard it can be to treat. It just makes me feel very hopeless overall, does anyone have anything that can make the prospects feel a little less miserable? 

It feels like the odds are completely stacked against BPD sufferers and I just have no idea what to even do with my emotions regarding it. It's hard to ever feel okay with possibility of having it. The thought of these intense feelings lasting a long time is just... I can't do it. Does anyone have any advice? I feel desperate for something to calm myself, it's eating me alive
