>That's got to take a lot out of you, and leave you feeling pretty flat even without any other issues. Have you thought about talk therapy and a support group to help you cope with the strain? Honestly, I think even if you had the Magic Pill that would fix all the rest, you'd still probably need at least one of those things.
As for the personality disorder bit, I gotta agree with BassMan -- don't be so hard on yourself. These days, some of the recent studies are saying that Axis I disorders are much more stable over time than the Axis II PDs, which tend to improve on their own over time. But, of course, the PDs would improve more quickly with talk therapy...
Good luck to you.
