This is a bit of a weird one I know. But since an element of BPD is staying at an emotionally younger age, I sometimes wish we could "ask a teenager" how they came to cope and grow out of their emotional immaturity. Because most of them seem to, somehow! :) But it just feels embarrassing to ask people so much younger how one should be behaving, when one is supposed to be the adult.

Some good news I'd like to share too: while researching online I came across a healthcare research paper that said that a lot of people with BPD get better in their 30s and 40s, and that there did seem to be a natural maturing that took place at this time even without therapy. It said that impulsive behaviours in particular start to subside.

Well, I'm in my 30s, so...maybe sometime it'll happen!
