Cool :-)
> i MIGHT become a therapist if i can get all my sh*t together and keep it together for a few years and convince myself that i will continue to be stable.
I will never be a therapist. That is what I have come to realise about myself. I want the theory, I am addicted to theory, but real people just make me want to cringe and hide in the corner much of the time.
It sounds like you have your head on properly
To have it there as a maybe
And wait and see how things go.
I have heard that recovered borderlines can make very good clinicians indeed (once they have made a lot of progress to be sure).
I strongly believe there is something approaching a 'borderline intuition' - a capacity to 'mind read' emotional responses and understand their unique logic. You don't have to be borderline or traumatised to have that, but those things make it come natural.Probably just b*llsh*tt*ng here
(loads less informed than usual, however)
All the best to you :-)
