Will having a mental health record ruin other areas of my life?

Well because you're clinically diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, that would be sad if it would set you back anymore than it has or impact your life in another way, because having a mental health disorder is something that you cannot help or choose--like someone that is diagnosed with cancer or another physical illness. However, I know that people sometimes don't understand at first especially if they've never heard of the illness. Either way, you can do it! That's great that you're ambitious and if you keep up your positive attitude I'm sure you can overcome and triumph over your struggles. I would say just do what you love to do and you should be fine. Susanna Kaysen was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and became a famous author, so I have the fullest confidence in you that you'll be alright. :)
