Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a label given to a set of symptoms including emotional instability, unstable relationships, and distorted thinking. Handling such traits can be hard, both for the sufferer, and for friends.
Mental health: being your own boss
Our fascination with strong leaders is partly a projection of our own desire to get control of our lives. But we don’t need to look ‘out there’, if we can competently become our own bosses.
