The Work Begins

[squeakywheel]

Seeing my psychiatrist last night was fantastic. I know now that I really need to make my mental health a priority and work on my issues so that I can function as a normal adult, but sometimes just spewing out my problems to someone makes me feel a lot better

I just found this post by accident and as a borderline myself (i've been diagnosed by a psychiatrist and also by my psychotherapist) i don't believe introspection has anything to do with it. I am VERY introspective and always have been. Then again, i'm a mild case and my emotional outbursts are nowadays very few. I also have excellent insight into my condition and that really helps with treatment. A lot of borderlines outright reject their diagnoses and so they never learn strategies to deal with it.
PS: I'd never have found you if you didn't have a guinea pig in your icon!
