I thought I'd share some positive thoughts I've had since being diagnosed with BPD.  I used to be so ashamed of getting angry or feeling strong emotions I would do everything I could to try and make myself "cold" and "unfeeling" (I always was so jealous of people who had "chill" as their number one personality trait), but ever since my diagnosis I have realized that there is a reason for my strong feelings and it is a part of me.  

I have started to learn to embrace my emotions, specifically my anger and  it feels good.  It feels healthier to embrace anger as a part of who I am and as long as I don't go too far in that direction (there needs to be balance), I believe I am going down a good route.
