I know this is hard to accept for all the hating on us the world can do but this stuff in this article is to a greater or lesser extent true for very many of us I believe. I hear this idea that BPD is arrested emotional development, that we are emotionally stunted, emotionally immature but its a very specific stuntedness, that description does not completely hold water, I mean in some ways it does, the tantrums, the acting out but its not the whole story, there's something else going on.
Ive been told many many times that I am emotionally intelligent, empathic, in touch with my self & my feelings, conscious of others wants & needs...... I half trained as a Psychotherapist, people said they thought i'd make a genuinely good counsellor......what gives? I don't know.
I see BPD more like a particularly deep ego wounding that healed all up wrong so that it catches fire & goes up in flames when its touched & its so sore you spend your whole life keeping others from touching it..... I don't know.... its a really tough corner.....
Anyway so its nice to see positive things about people with BPD expressed:-
