Hearing you have a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder can be confusing and frightening to say the least. Often people who have received this diagnosis experienced a great deal of neglect and trauma during their childhood. In order to survive, patterns and thoughts and behavior developed and were very likely necessary as your survival into adulthood. However, these same skills have left you feeling isolated, alone and alienated. The fact that you are here, suggest you have all the tools needed to start the process of recovery.
