When you no longer meet the criteria for BPD, you’re considered recovered. 

What happens after that? Does your diagnosis get reduced (for lack of better word) to Depression? Or are you considered to be completely free of mental illness? Is it possible that being re-traumatized in future will make the BPD come back?

I’ve bought the DBT workbook and I’m looking for a therapist to go through it with. I am hopeful for recovery because don’t want to be stuck like this forever. 

But I still have so many questions. Why is BPD the only personality disorder that you can recover from, when the other ones (narcissism, sociopaths, etc) are considered permanent and life long?

I assume the people that are recovered have already left this sub, but if any of you happen to come across this I’d love your insight 💙
