Amy,
See - you aren't alone. BPD's a weird thing to have - but I've read that we are the most intuitive, feeling, caring people when we're in the right mood. I know I have friends who really like me (for some weird reason) and I can be a good person as I'm sure you are too.People here have mentioned Marcia Linehan (sp?) - I couldn't take her, she was too freaking funny on those tapes. "Now take of all your feelings and put them in boxes and watch them slide down the assembly line" - like a weird info-mercial. But she's the one who invented DBT. Go online to http://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/dbt.html and read it and check out the worksheets. If you want the whole skills training manual, I can copy it and send it to you - but you really should do this with a therapist. But if you want it - write back and we can exchange emails and I'll send you the whole thing.
