From Borderline to Beautiful: Dissociation Demystified.

Borderline Personality Disorder is no longer considered a chronic
illness. You can lead a great life with a sensitive, intense,
hyperbolic... or any temperament for that matter with hard work,
grit, endurance, tenacity, and the willingness to get
uncomfortable. Check out this article for confirmation of this
assertion:

In this episode, I define and demystify dissociation and offer a
first step strategy to understand one's own dissociative profile.
The key to better understanding dissociation rests in normalizing
it. Check out these resources that were referenced in the
podcast:  One of the leading psychiatric scholars in the
treatment of dissociation is Dr. Elizabeth Howell. In her book The
Dissociative Mind, she contends [2]: Chronic trauma...that occurs
early in life has profound effects on personality development and
can lead to the development of dissociative identity disorder
(DID), other dissociative disorders, personality disorders,
psychotic thinking, and a host of symptoms such as anxiety,
depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse. In my view, DID
is simply an extreme version of the dissociative structure of the
psyche that characterizes us all. Dissociation, in a general sense,
refers to the rigid separation of parts of experience, including
somatic experience, consciousness, affects, perception, identity,
and memory. Trauma Made Simple- Jamie Marich, PhD
