There might be stable people out there but you'd have to know them personally for a few years before you could make that distinction. Don't ever put yourself down or put so called stable people on a pedestal, they are no better or stronger than you are.

Those are two very wise observations. Thank you for sharing them. I am not sure anyone is completely stable all of the time, but we can all become more stable more often with effort and awareness.

i think i made a mistake telling my girlfriend of my situations i thnk i have freaked her out a bit but all i did was tell the truth. did i mke a mistake?

[BipolarAdvantage]

Only time will tell if you made a mistake. The best way to tell someone about our condition is when they ask us how we were able to change ourselves so much or why we are able to handle things better than everyone else. When we tell them it is because of our condition they will be interested instead of afraid.

When we do the opposite - act badly and then say it was because of bipolar or whatever condition, we are perpetuating the fear that the condition is dangerous and can't be controlled.

As a writer I have the gift to write because of the label I claim which is just that a label...I write so what??How much do I need to write to be considered a writer? Okay on the same note how much do I need to do to be considered normal? You can do all the right things in this life and totally miss the mark...Had I not had the awakening I would of never came to the realization that I am spiritually gifted. Conformity is to accept the label. Non- conformity is to accept the gift.

@Winter077 Agreed 100 %... You can tell the difference between those who just tread water and those who have sunk underneath, but have risen only to become stronger.

I agree that borderline personalities,are caused by a host of social/emotional difficulties However, I sense that society is taking a dangerous path by going against nature,and forcing people into an artificial way of life i.e(generational wars & the effects there of ) I would say is the main culprit of these disorders.

[NemeSisLFay]

there are WAY too many causes so pointing to one or the other as the main cause would be next to impossible

Genes, Drugs, lifestyle,society, Biological causes, trauma, alcohol, stress........................­......you name it!
