now i'm starting to wonder if i was histrionic AND borderline. i had some borderline symptoms, but it could've been symptoms of the histrionic disorder. i do know that i used to be SO confused about who i was and didn't trust my perceptions about ANYTHING (my mother always told me i was wrong, my thoughts and my feelings). isn't that how borderline develops? your parent/s denies you the right to your sense of self, so you lose it? that's what happened to me anyway..caused tons of problems for me.)but i basically worked through my issues (and went in the military) and i was cured at 21. (military was a very bad idea for me, as i had OCD and BDD at the time. i think the sheer trauma of it cured me. going in the military was a very impulsive, nonsensical choice on my part. impulsive, bad choices are typical of borderlines, too, i think.)
sorry this was so long!
