For example, if an individual makes out-of-nowhere announcements about career changes, only to renounce them the next day, he or she may be contending with BPD.” This is a quote from a post that I’ll be featuring from a guest blogger in the next month. It stood out to me, because career and changing majors in college were huge issues that I’ve dealt with. Can you relate?

of people in recovery is not also dramatically transformed
from that of a passive ‘mental patient’ to that of an empowered citizen.
