I flit around this sub sometimes trying to help a little from the perspective of someone who has gotten through BPD, and what I notice more than anything is that there's a lot of confusion and what life looks like on the other side. 

I have been BPD-free for two years now, which means undiagnosable even during times of severe stress. To me, this is as good as "cured", though that sounds like a bizarrely simplistic word for the complex process that it has been. It doesn't mean I don't experience symptoms of a previously life-long disorder, but it does mean those symptoms don't look anything like they did before. I went through a few therapy programs, most notably a year and a half of DBT and some schema therapy.

I really want to help because I know how confused and terrified and cynical I was at the start, and I wish I could have asked questions of someone who had been through this journey before me. So I'm offering that now, if it's something anyone thinks would help. So ask me anything.
