Sorry if some of these questions come across as insensitive but I was wondering how bpd affects someone personally, like every fiber of their being is influenced by it? I’m bipolar 1 and potentially ASD, so I was wondering if it’s like a foundation for you guys, similar to how I see ASD, like the, reason why someone is the way they are or if it was more like an arrangement of symptoms to be affected by, while retaining some aspects of normalcy. Does it affect all facets of livelihood? Or more so the relationship to Self and others. Can you separate yourself from your disorder? Not necessarily cure it but mindfully handle it better? My recent manic bout, I was seething with rage, for weeks on end a fire that couldn’t be extinguished, but I turned it all inward and imploded for weeks.. I refused to use it on others, albeit it happened regardless so I know what it feels like to be helpless to your mind.. I’m just really curious as of lately.. like do symptoms come and go? Or does it creep into every thought process? Sorry if this isn’t even literate as I’m scatter brained currently.
