Hi Dinah,
I guess for me I don't see the label of personality disorder as a negative thing, it is just a title of condition. Like cancer, or hemroids. LOL
You are right about the migranes, I forgot it can be hormonal.
The thing about depression, is that it can be reaccuring due to many things, but it also can be healed and not ever come back. It can also go away on its own without any therapy or meds.
In the case of personality disorders, you will always have it, you can help with the symptoms, but it will always be there. People's symptoms from a personality disorder are not coping mechinisims. If it was it would be understood that they can control their actions. But instead of coping mechinisms, they are biological traits of their personality. Most do not precieve what they are doing, and they can't help it. The fact that you USE a set of copoing mechisims, and are talking about it here, shows me that you don't have a personality disorder. LOL I think we can go around and around with this one! LOL Your poor T ! (just kidding) This is actually fun, I love talking about stuff like this. Plus we don't hit below the belt around here, heck, I would say that we are more adjusted than most people. :-)
