Re: Survival for non-BPD individuals

Agreed...

"Most" is really not a fair term - my apologies. The main point is that any individual suffering from any disorder must seek help, themselves. And, anyone with any disorder may find coping mechanisms in different venues: spiritual; counseling/therapy; etc. But, to say that anyone is "cured" of such a potentially devastating disorder is, in my view, incorrect, though optimistic. A person who suffers an eating disorder will always, and forever, be coping with whatever triggers their cycles, regardless of how long they have been successfully managing their issues. Similarly, a "former" abuser will always, and forever, be actively coping with whatever triggers their rage issues. "Cure" is a word that I would love to see as a reality, though I believe that "management" is a far better description.

Thanks for the input!
