Therapy is key: Long-term psychotherapy is key to treatment of personality disorder though meds may have a role to play for certain symptoms. Mindfulness training can help. Don't get too caught up in the label. Remember it's not your fault. A personality disorder is merely the result of gap between skills that were important for surviving childhood and the skills needed in adulthood. Hope this helps. Good luck!
