Will borderline personality disorder ever go away?

Question

I've had borderline all my life..can it be cured?

Answer 1

I have had BPD for the past 25 years. I am on medications and in the therapy. There is NO CURE for BPD, only learning new ways of thinking, instead of seeing things only in black & white...all or nothing. Over coming your fear of abandoment. YOU can have a quality life with BPD. But as far as a cure...there is NO CURE for any type of mental illnesses. I hold a job, have a family, keep a clean house, do yard work...I am able to do the things everyone else does. My only set back is I have my mood swings which at times can be intense. Please seek therapy...it just might save your life. I know it has saved mine.

My belief is life with Borderline Personality Disorder is worth living! These are the card we were dealt, it sucks @ss, but it only makes us stronger. Believe in yourself! I believe in you as a human being that you can put up a good fight and win! I would place my bet on you hands down for winning!

You are in my thoughts, my heart goes out to you!

You can improve a lot. I've known people to basically recover. But its difficult and something you have to work on everyday for the rest of your life. Good luck to you
