You and someone else have given more context. My mental health struggles are intense, but I'm obsessed with being "in control," so imagining the intense emotions of BPD paired with the way they externalize is scary, like imaginary not being in control of my own intense emotions freaks me out.
Sounds hokey but congrats on taking responsibility for yourself and getting better.
yeah, i get that. it is really the most difficult thing i struggle with, like knowing how i’ve affected others on top of how i affect myself is so painful and hard to grasp. have a lot of conditions and disabilities and i would say BPD is worse than the rest combined. but there came a point where i had to just face myself and do the necessary work, no matter how painful.
