"Wiser" perhaps has more to do with than "older".
I think is the way that you approach bpd would make a difference.
Is Energy Psycho-Spiritual Therapy available where you live? If yes, look into it!
From my experience this type of therapy is the most realistic and efficient.
churnman's comments make a lot of sense.

Yes, I too have heard this and know of one instance where it seems to be true. As for myself, my depression seems to be diminishing with age. A am nearly 60 and am finding that there are many things greater than me and I try to find spiritual and emotional strength from these.
i have a cousin that has bpd she takes meds for this but i don't know about it that much :)
