| Cappy's Corner: BPD  A little blurb about Borderline Personality Disorder  | 
| 	 Greetings and welcome to writing.com! Well, you piqued my curiosity with your honest and vulnerable discussion of your struggles with Borderline Personality Disorder. I googled it and immediately fell for a "free" test. My heart sank as I worked through it, because I'm afraid I have a tendency in that direction myself according to the questions. But they wanted me to pay to see the results, which is deeply ironic considering the people most likely to be impulsive and distressed enough to spend that money are the ones who are answering "yes" to most of those questions... Anyone who could see that their results would be negative wouldn't bother forking out any money. Most of the questions were super simplistic and skewed anyway; I mean, who likes feeling vulnerable or helpless? So yeah, thanks for that. I think I might have some issues to work through myself... As for you, I'm proud of you for seeking help and getting your act together in your later years. You'll ripen into maturity with the knowledge that you did what's best for your health and wellbeing, and were supported in the process. I look forward to seeing what else you have to share with us. This is a raw confession, and I can feel your frustrations with yourself and the way things worked out. I especially related to where you said the things you're learning about yourself and mental health now are things you should have learned growing up. I know that feeling; so much of common everyday interactions and relating to others are things that are still a mystery to me but I should have had them down pat when I was twelve... Prayer and spirituality are supposed to be helpful with this, but it often feels like a mind game rather than actually reaching out to a higher power. Know that I'm sending you lots of well wishes for your mental peace and stability Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing
