Kat explains what it's like to have Borderline Personality Disorder.
“I like to think of it as being superhuman. In this case, super means ‘of an extreme or excessive degree.’ The human part comes from the fact that emotions are often considered to be what makes us human. Hence the phrase ‘superhuman.’ We’re not better than anyone else, we just have an excess of everything that makes humans human.”
