Hi! My experience with BPD is you have higher neuroticism than the middle of the bell curve of humans and lower agreeableness! And the neuroticism in general tends to decrease with age. So as a young person though with BPD the struggle is super real. How are you doing and what would you say are the hardest parts of life currently? Relationships, work, etc..? General mood?

Get into DBT, its structured specifically for your diagnosis, if you cant afford to get into intensive treatment within this therapeutic model, there are many sources on it for free, the best ones would be DBT workbook pdfs, if possible it would be really good if you could invest atleast some money into a paper one, it could give you a lot of structure to work with.

If you want to get to know the exact symptomology of BPD better, I would reccomend the youtube channel Doc Snipes (actually certified and her videos give out very good general information). Apart from that there is a channel called Borderline Notes, which i cant recommend enough - ton of the videos and talks are from researchers and clinicians themselves who are actually the backbone of BPD treatment. If you have any specific questions you cant find information on I can give you some info myself, Ive read empirical literature on BPD but most importantly interacted with people who have BPD themselves long term, and experience their own turbulences, individual functioning and testimonies.
