No Emotional Skin

Description of someone with borderline personality disorder. New name apparently pending for the DSM 5.
Understanding how they relate to people and why they do the things they do.
I guess we start building up layers and layers from the moment we are born.
It seems we need a tough skin and working in mental health, you need to have this as your back up plan. Actually being a nurse entails a thick skin, life demands it.
But what if you don't learn how to deal?
You turn it around to dealing in on yourself. A cruel parody of life.
Still learning and moving on.
Life investigations continue.
