If you're anything like me, you probably beat yourself up a lot. You probably, more often than not, mostly think about all the things you don't like about yourself. Picking apart every flaw, obsessing on every mistake. 

My therapist asked me one thing I liked about myself. And I couldn't answer her, but after I started making a list of things I've done and that I'm proud of. And I realized that I genuinely believe borderline personality disorder can make us incredibly brave and courageous. I believe and have seen that we will put ourselves in the line of fire, not just metaphorically, but literally put ourselves in danger to protect or save someone else with zero hesitation...out of love, loyalty, and compassion.

So, just remember that sometimes that 'impulsivity', and the other traits that are often judged...can also be some of your best qualities :)
