Anyone else out there diagnosed with this disorder? I was shattered to finally find the truth. I feel so alone now.

Hello,
Although traumatic events in childhood are associated with a greater risk of borderline and other personality disorders, the actual cause of personality disorder is unknown. Most likely, it may be caused by a combination of heredity and environmental factors. Borderline personality disorder is a serious emotional disturbance that's characterized by disappointing and unstable personal relationships, intense anger, impulsive actions, feelings of emptiness, and fears of abandonment — real or imagined. It may be that emotional trauma at a time when the brain isn't fully developed alters something in the brain, which decreases the ability to effectively deal with stressful situations. Here is more information on BPD: http://www.depression-guide.com/borderline...ty-disorder.htm -------------------- I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.
