Once you are borderline you will always be but you can control the severity of the illness by medication management and or therapy. It doesn't have to control your life. I was a mental health counselor for years and I saw many people with BPD go from being miserable to regaining their lives and actually being happy, living a good life, having relationships, and having a steady job. It is all possible. But it all hinges on what you do, what work you do on yourself, and if you want it.

Everyone is different. Consistent therapy and a commitment to changing coping skills is essential. You can overcome anything!! Besides, diagnosis is subjective and does not have to be a label you are cursed to live by!! Good luck!

Borderline Personality disorder is a very complicated subject and is difficult to explain because of it's complexity. If it is you, I hope you follow through with your treatment, there is hope.
NOT EVERYONE EXPERIENCES THE SAME THING! (To the people telling her how she feels and how she will react)
"Dialectical" I believe is a ant-suicide treatment. (Not sure)

My niece is undergoing dialetic (I think that's what it's called) therapy. There are many different ways to treat it. If you are the one suffering from it just make sure you don't become too attached to your therapist. One of the symptoms of BPD is that you idolize someone until they disappoint you.

Yes, lol, that's why its called border line.
It depends on you.
It is not something like schitzophrenia which needs billions of drugs.
Know yourself and compensate accordingly.
