I have heard since my diagnosis of borderline personality disorder that many professionals felt it needed to be renamed to reflect the true nature of these group of traits. This article does reference another name.

It also highlights the pro's of people with BPD.Hooe you enjoy this read.

When you are in survival mode, you don’t know how to do anything better than just get by however you can.

I was in survival mode for a very long time. My anxiety was so chronic, I have very few memories from the first 30 years of my life.

There are lots of things that I regret doing when I was in survival mode. It was always easy for me to forgive other people, but it took me a long time to forgive myself.

I hope you don’t wait as long as I did.

Put a 💙 in the comments if you can relate to this.
