This is an awesome article. I have full blown BPD. I have been in treatment for the last three years. DBT and CBT have changed my life, no saved my life. I was taught not to allow my emotions rule my behaviors. By staying in "wise mind" I avoid all the drama, and trauma I used to create. I love my life now. I have peace and I am sober. I must constantly monitor my behavior, which I do by way of journalling. I hope to be back to work as an LPN by this time next year.
