[Teal Swan] What we label as "Borderline" is one of the very most horribly painful conditions possible in life. After a scenario in my life over a few years that felt incredibly gaslighting and an escalation of incredibly unbearable internal experiences in intense isolation (unable to stop the re-traumatization of abandonment), whatever vulnerability I had to this was ripped open. Because I developed this so recently and under so much self-awareness, I am very aware that this is not part of my identity. That doesn't make it easy to heal from. Hell no. But I do know that it is possible. I would want other people who suffer from this to not feel so ashamed of it.
