Hey, I'm here. Long story. Things are good. Now on to your post.
If by personality disorder, you mean borderline, or anti-social, or sociopath, or whatever, what I think is those are extremely harsh and dangerous diagnosis to be throwing around on people.
Also, you were seeing a therapist. That means something was wrong by definition almost. How can you be guilty because in the course of trying to fix your mental illness your mental illness manifested itself?
Don't read your old posts. They were full of the anguish you were experiencing right then. You can remember without re-experiencing. The best way to thank or apologize to people for being sick is to do your best to remain well. Surgeons don't require apologies from cancer patients.
I hope I'm not oversimplifying. That isn't my intention. You've been through way too much lately, and if you've found some peace, savor it.
love and happiness,
james K
