after coming down from an episode earlier today I just wanted to remind myself of the good things I can get from having BPD:

&gt; We can feel emotions strongly and empathize with others intuitively
&gt; 
&gt; We are very perceptive and can tell when others are hurt
&gt; 
&gt; We have a very high emotional intelligence and can express ourselves creatively
&gt; 
&gt; We are passionate
&gt; 
&gt; We know when we're hurt and don't let it fester inside
&gt; 
&gt; We can be courageous and speak our mind
&gt; 
&gt; We are survivors
&gt; 
&gt; We are very loyal, to our friends, and we are very good friends to those who can show us the patience we need

Can anyone think of any more?
