You see, I'm just not a big diagnosis person. It just boggles my mind to think that something as complicated as the human mind can be bound by something as simple as "you have borderline personality disorder". Anyway, that's the end of my rant on that.
I think your therapist is actually trying to simplify your therapy and using borderline as pegboard to hang what she perceives to be unhealthy behaviours.
If there is ever a time in our life when we should be allowed some unhealthy behaviours (as long as they are not physically harming yourself or anyone else or committing emotional battery) it is just after the end of a relationship. Pish posh on the T's and their insistence that we be healthy all the time. Pish posh indeed.
Actually, the way you are handling all this IMO is amazing. You are reaching out for support, telling people what you need and giving yourself some space to figure all this out.
You go girl.
You know what I wish? I wish there were something like a coma pill. One that we could just take during hard times, fall into a deep meditative place and process hurt, but not be at all aware that we are doing it. Then BING! we could wake up and it's all over. Of course, I also really wish that Gandalf was real, and that there were fairies in my morning glories.
So I might be a little "touched".
One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. The road you are on leads to peace.
Seldom.
