So, what kept me going?

So now, what do I do to reach the remission of BPD?

I agree with Goro. Unless you have it fully under control, I don’t recommend going into it. I can tell you this from experience, as I recently took a leave of absence due to depression. I was getting better up until med school started, and then it all went downhill from there. I was spiralling out of control. I regret my decision to push through and “move on with my life anyway,” when I wasn’t really ready to. I guess I felt the pressure of starting my career. But trust me when I tell you, it IS a furnace. And if you are a person who inherently has a difficult time coping or balancing your life (even something as simple as your sleep schedule), like me, it can really break you down. That being said, if this is what your passion is, don’t let the diagnosis stop you. They key is to remeber to go only when you’re ready and have your condition fully under control, and not a second before then. Best of luck!
