[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 658454, member: 1550"] Suzir, yes, I thought I had it. That's where my sister gets it from. But I was never diagnosed with it by anybody except me and since then my therapists, who have known me for a long time, feel I may have had borderline traits at one time (especially when I just left my abusive home) I don't have enough traits for the disorder to be diagnosed. So the diagnosis was mine and mine alone. I took it off when I was told I did not have it. We even went over the criteria (me and my psychologist). And my sister knows this too. Unfortunately, she just likes to use it in an attempt to paint me as crazy, which is totally her prerogative. She is on a site where everyone diagnoses their nemesis as borderline. On the other hand, if I did have borderline (diagnosed) I would own it and fight it. I do love DBT. I don't think it is any sort of shame to have a personality disorder as long as you try hard to work on your problems. So if given the diagnosis, I would have kept it in my signature. [/QUOTE]
