You were making a point? And here I thought you were asking an honest question. I'm disappointed.

Fuck. What does that say about me?
This brings up what, though a digression, I think is interesting. While I don't fully fit the profile of a person with borderline personality disorder, there are aspects of my personality which are distinctly borderline. Although I regrettably don't recall the full explanation, it is something along the lines that borderlines experience chaos and lack of control during their formative years, so their coping behaviors are tuned to that environment. Thus, because crisis constitutes an 'adaptive norm' for such people, they engage in behaviors that encourage the creation of crisis because that is where they function best, and feel most at home. (And yes, I instantiate some of those properties; the germs of my Shaktism lie in the paradoxically terrifying yet comforting aspect of Shri Devi Kali.)

Or one could say "chaos" rather than "crisis".
