I was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. However, since then I actually feel better about myself.
Why?
I always had this idea deep inside of me that I wasn't a good person. I have hurt the ones I love too many times to have a good opinion of myself. I knew something was terribly wrong when I couldn't control my emotions or behavior in certain situations. What I missed that all those situations were actually very similar and they were triggers.
It was a lot easier to define the state I was in once i realized many more people suffer from same condition. I wasn't a bad person, I wasn't just someone who is over-sensitive and who can't control emotions and behavior. Now, I was defined, and more important - no, I am not a bad person I thought I am.
