BPD is a very interesting condition @Peacelovejojo - well I find it is anyway.
It's such a slow-moving condition which means it takes years to develop and years to recover. Yet every little change you make adds to a change in the way your brain develops.
To me, an analogy is:
You've been walking down the same path all your life. Suddenly, you realise the path is not great. Hence you want to walk on the new path. But the new path is difficult to navigate because you've never been there before. However, once you know the way down this path and you walk that path again and again, it becomes the new 'better' path. Once you've walked this new path, you rarely go back to the old path.
The above analogy is your brain. Your brain has been wired to think a certain way all your life. Yet you know something is not right and you want to see behavioural changes. You train your brain to react differently to situations. The more you 'train' you brain, the easier it gets. Once you've learnt a new way of thinking and reacting, it's unlikely you'll go back the first.
Sorry if this is confusing.
