Hi. Just wondering how you're doing.

I'm sorry that you feel people aren't taking you seriously; sadly that can go hand-in-hand with a BPD diagnosis, as some people can feel that things are related to the BPD (misdiagnosis or not). Do you mind if I ask, who diagnosed the BPD? It might help to ask to see a PD specialist for assessment if you haven't already; that way, if you do get the same diagnosis, you can be sure, and if not, things will be clearer. Diagnoses aren't impossible to remove; people are misdiagnosed all the time (or things are 'upgraded', ie. depression to bipolar, etc.) so change can happen.

I think I mentioned this somewhere else, and I can't remember what you said, but what would help? Many places offer counselling (such as uni's) if you'd like that.

I don't think they ever see anyone as incurable; though I do understand what you mean. I would say though, if there's a course of treatment that you want, ask, because they will often go along with it.

	It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go. No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do. We won't all be here this time next year, so while you can take a picture of us. We're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
