Something else to think about, Demi. Borderlines are at greatly increased risk of eating disorders and drug addiction. Borderlines are notorious for acting out in self-destructive ways, because when their emotional mind takes over, their rational mind takes a back seat. We end up doing stupid things, like over-sharing about our personal lives in public. Like telling a magazine that we fear we are unlovable, in spite of mountains of evidence to prove that we have much more going for us than lots of people. I have decades of doing exactly that sort of thing, often—if not always—to my own detriment.
