Journal your way to lasting emotional balance, self-compassion, and better relationships. If you've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you should know that BPD doesn't have to define you. Like many mental health issues, BPD manifests on a spectrum, and while some people may encounter extreme symptoms on one end, others may be less affected on the other. What do you all have in common? You likely experience difficulty balancing your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. You may struggle with relationships. And you may not see yourself clearly-continuously switching from the hero to the villain of the story you've written about your life. So, how can you take charge of your own story, and start on the road to healing?
