I find it difficult to identify with BPD because I've always tried so hard to be a good person and it's really difficult to accept that I've hurt people with my behavior in past relationships.

Reading about the diagnosis just makes me feel even more like I'm a burden, and that people should stay away from me. I know deep down that I'm not actually that horrible, but a tiny voice - my inner critic - still insists that I'm messed up. 

Is there anything positive at all about people with BPD?
