Borderline Sublimation

I’ve given this a lot of thought… okay maybe not. Anyway, here’s the story…

I’m a nurse. An unemployed nurse from a country where 3 out of 5 people are likely to be nurses. Which basically means that I know what those words mean. Haha!

1. Borderline

• A personality disorder; Relating to a condition characterized by a pattern of instability in mood, interpersonal relations, and self-image, and manifested by self-destructive, impulsive, and inconsistent behavior
• An indefinite area intermediate between two qualities or conditions

2. Sublime

• Inspiring awe; impressive

or

3. Sublimation

• The substitution of unacceptable instinctual drives into socially acceptable expressions

Tada! Nice isn’t it? But what does that really mean? Do I just know what those words mean and just wants to show off? Or do I really have borderline personality? Are my thoughts sublime? Am I doing a lot of sublimation as my defense mechanism? Am I a subliming borderline? Am I a psychiatric nurse? A psychiatric patient?
