Recently I began to see a psychiatrist after a suicidal mental breakdown.  After years of being in and out of therapy for depressive symptoms, I was finally given the "you have many traits of borderline" by this practitioner.  It's kind of relieving knowing this, but I also feel pretty hopeless.  The states that I find myself in are pretty exhausting and I am feeling a little hopeless about the complete remission of these symptoms.  How has your journey been?  Are you still plagued by these symptoms?  What have been the most helpful things?
