Hi All,

I recently rewrote my story of struggling with and overcoming the borderline label, linked below. I hope this account will be encouraging despite its painful parts. It provide an example of how things can ultimately go really well after getting a BPD diagnosis, and it outlines a model of how to think about "borderline" symptoms without identifying with the borderline label. I recognize that not everyone endorses this approach, and think that everyone should find the approach that works best for them in handling the BPD label. This is what worked for me.

Here's my story:
