Of all the BPD symptoms people tend to notice, fragmented identity, despite its being a frequent feature , seems to be the least recognized.

Brandi had many shifts in her identities over the years in therapy. Earlier on, she dated a religious man, and immediately began attending church, wearing religious symbols, and volunteering to teach bible school. This, from a woman who, in her 30s, had only been to church for the occasional wedding. After a few months, she showedadvances, but was, not surprising given the beau's piousness, denied.
In short order, Brandi met a folksy guitarist who wore hippie garb, dropped acid, and dreamt of a record deal. Sure enough, Brandi's hair was soon in braids, she wore bell-bottoms, and she said acid really generated thoughtful lyrics. They were writing music together, and he was teaching her guitar.
