This isn’t meant to be a negative post. I wanted to tweak how I handle some things and have gotten better but I it made me think.

Could you turn someone 360 completely? Like from a freak to a mighty, a chad to a chud, a person to a stealers fan?

i would jump at the chance to have electro-shock. the only way into a better life (for me, BPD) would be to change personality altogether. i wouldn't hesitate at all.

I haven't looked into the benefits of electroshock with BPD, but I'd recommend taking a look at Dr. Daniel Fox's workbook for an at-home DBT/attachment theory foucsed program. BPD is one of the few PDs that has been provably shown to be able to change. If you have $30 or so to spare, it can't hurt.

As a former borderline I love DBT.
