    Anita, I read that article you liked to in Time. Very interesting. I didn’t know exactly what it meant by “borderline.” Not that I really do now, but seems I’m not alone.

    I’m thinking about this:
    “Borderline individuals are the psychological equivalent of third-degree-burn patients. They simply have, so to speak, no emotional skin. Even the slightest touch or movement can create immense suffering.”

    and wondering if some of us can have very thin emotional skins that are kept in control more or less, but still …. anyway, would make for a good discussion in person, preferably over a glass of wine.

    I think their are degrees in everybody. I’m 100 times less volatile than I was in my 20’s (thank the gods!). I never had the anger issue so much either, but I had the pain. I hate that out of control feeling more than anything.

    Someday a few of us should get together over that glass of wine 😉

    Anita, I read that article you liked to in Time. As the parent of a BPD daughter much of it was true.
