Yeah, unfortunately I’ve been on the receiving end of that one too. But I’ve also known people who seemed to have dealt with it long term. What I notice in them is an eternal vigilance of a similar sort to addicts who stay permanently clean. They understand that the easiest and safest place to stop their destructive patterns is when it’s about to start.

That said, I wasn’t aware of medication being used for any personality disorder, I was under the impression that the only effective treatment was dbt.
