Is suicide the only solution to borderline personality disorder?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No : Suicide is a bad, permanent solution for anything. Please talk with a mental health professional to get help for you, or for whom it is you are asking the question. You only go around once, so it makes no sense to stop the ride before the end.
