Most people just pick one eye and look at it, usually the right though left is fine too. Does this help any?

Going to have to correct you. People with borderline personality disorder take their anger out on themselves, self harm and repeated suicide attempts being part of the main diagnostic criteria. Antisocial personality disorder is what you're thinking of. Even then people with mental illness are at increased risk of receiving violence, not giving it. I have BPD unmedicated for 7 years now and have never been physically violent except in self defense. The hard part is telling myself that it's ok to defend myself from harm. BPD includes chronic low self worth and disturbed sense of identity, we're very suggestible so all the misinformation out there about us makes it way harder. I have a hard enough time convincing myself that I'm worthy of love or even life without being everybodies boogyman.

You have, I nearly died last year because of believing I was toxic and hurting people just by existing because I have BPD. Took an overdose and if it wasn't for a neighbour noticing something was off and calling for help, my children would be orphaned. Be very careful how you portray the mentally ill. Some of us can't help but believe what we read about ourselves.

Other than that good luck with becoming a sex therapist. It's a topic I'm passionate about myself.

I'd argue that they have been misdiagnosed. I also studied psychology for obvious reasons. Personality disorders are frequently misdiagnosed, especially in women who are actually found to have ADHD, can have adverse reactions to medication because of the quantity of co-morbid symptoms. Also rarely a lone diagnosis, it's usually BPD with depression or another illness. Anecdotal evidence isn't acceptable evidence.
