Hello all!  I was just diagnosed with BPD in my last hospital stay.  

There are some symptoms that I don't seem to identify with.  I don't seem to experience "splitting" or black-and-white thinking.  I don't have polarizing images of people, seeing them as all good or all bad.  I also don't experience rage fits.

However, other symptoms seem to apply very well to me.  I frequently change careers and life goals.  Currently I'm trying to change from corporate data analysis to music and audio engineering.  Last year, while in a manic phase, I started several different businesses, ranging from programming to app startup to real estate investing.  I also frequently change relationships.  I used to have long and stable relationships, now they seem to last a couple of months and fizzle out.  I also tend to jump all-in very early, which I think scares a lot of women off. I also impulsively act upon upset emotions by engaging in dangerous behaviors, such as reckless driving or suicide attempts.

I guess I'm just looking for general sage advice about how to manage my day-to-day life, as well as any experience in how you got healthy/functional again.

Thanks!
