i didnt realize my comments would raise the hairs on the people with a depression diagnosis. im not trying to minimize depression. i know people who suffer from it and i realize its a life long struggle for some people.
so little is known about personality disorders and there is so much literature out there about how refractory they are in treatment settings. i am able to find much more literature about how depression is treatable and how this one or that one went into remission. ive never read such a thing about someone with a personality disorder.
then there is the world of my T. she told me that she thinks there is no difference between mood disorders and personality disorders. ill need to ask her about that one a bit more to see where she is coming from.
finally, it doesnt really matter what ive read or what ive got or what youve got and if mine can get more better than yours or vice versa. what matters to me is that i understand what im facing and how to make it better, not worse, however much better it can get and however well i can understand it.
and one more thing, i believe this applies to a lot of people not just me. my meditation teacher once said to me "what youre facing is a lot bigger than you realize..." i got really scared and he could tell. and then he said "but dee, its not insurmountable." i breathed a sigh of relief.
