Hope for the Future
When you suffer with borderline disorder learning to live as fulfilling a life as possible with the disorder at times can be a struggle. Even though you know that the most successful approach is to do the best you can with what each day offers, it can be exhausting and discouraging.
It is possible to build a worthwhile life with BPD but, as I have discovered only with the appropriate type and level of support.
Experience has shown that one factor is especially important in determining the degree of progress a BPD sufferer will make in treatment: their level of commitment to the process. It is essential to find the appropriate people to help you continually understand more about the characteristics and nature of your disorder, the specific ways it affects your life, and how to minimize its effects.
It is essential to find a clinician who has experience of BPD. Many sufferers benefit from treatment with medications and the type can vary from person to person.
Recent studies now clearly show that it is not the case that Borderlines are untreatable, and that the majority of these individuals do improve over time with proper treatment.
