[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 401504, member: 6546"] Janet-- Wow! You have been through a lot! And it sounds like you met a lot of the wrong kinds of therapists along the way. As I read this, I was just struck by your strength and perseverence...a lesser person would have given up. Thank you again, for sharing this.... In an earlier post, you said that people who do not believe or acknowledge that they have Borderline (BPD) do not believe they are doing these things...and they live their lives in "active borderline personalities". So I guess my original question, in essence, was asking "What was your light-bulb moment?". I was wondering what causes a person with Borderline (BPD) to finally realize or acknowledge that they indeed have Borderline (BPD)? And then seek help for it. But it sounds like you didn't have a 'light bulb moment'... It sounds like you sought treatment and therapy after experiencing some traumatic events: the stress of raising difficult children, sexual harassment, car accident, chronic pain...the same reasons anyone might have reached out for help. You also knew you were experiencing bi-polar mania and couldn't continue to live that way. And then, only after seeking therapy for these other things...you learned that you had Borderline (BPD).
