Apparently may is border line personality disorder awareness month,......Awareness,awareness.......
We all own our lives.dont we?Or at least we borrow it,for a while.but we alone are responsible for it.But we should never consider owning or possesing life itself.
The obssesive personality approaches life,as though the very notion of life itself,can be owned.
The obssesional amongst us approach life in a highly driven manner,often approaching fanaticism.each new event or episode being seen as "the one" or "it".
