Hi crushedout,
I get very discouraged reading some of the literature on pd's. They really are very difficult to treat as the problems really do infiltrate every aspect of your life. I have AvPD myself and find therapy very disheartening at times. I certainly don't want to be told I have a poor prognosis.
The timing of fires' posts was funny for me because I had been discussing BPD with my T during the last couple of sessions. I certainly idealise/vilify everyone and I also have a problem with feeling very up and down (although mood swings are related to a large number of problems, not just BPD).
I meant everything I said in my prognosis post about if the individual is determined enough and has a good T to help them, they can beat it.
Despite the fact that pd's are so pervasive and so ingrained, my T was adamant that they aren't set in stone. You *can* change these aspects of yourself.
