No.. I'm not actually familiar with the disorder as such but I know that the symptoms often include a vast self-image problem, alongside great emotional instability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose its one of those things that everyone feels somewhere inside their heads but some minds know how to control these feelings on a day to day basis and some don't .

Strange thing the old brain eh? It's often a result of chemical imbalances brought about by external influences or genetics. Nothing to do with not knowing how to control feelings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
