With all the BPD symptoms, emotional dysregulation, the idealization, clinging and devaluation phases I have been through in my r/s with my uBPDw and the DV and disproportionate behavior that I have been exposed ... .
How can I tell if, behind all this there is a well planned agenda driving the dysregulated behavior to pursue, at any costs, some well defined preexisting goal or objective by the pwBPD and kept totally hidden and well disguised? 
In other words, is it possible that even with all the emotional dysregulation suggesting they can't access the logic and rationale areas of the brain, yet could they still have somehow the ability to strategically pursue a predetermined and well planned agenda?
Furthermore, in other words, can a pwBPD could play a game of chess for example, while being in a state of arousal? How much would the pwBPD game of chess improve or diminish when compared to the game the same person will play when they return to baseline.
I wonder if the capacity to strategically plan and/or execute an agenda to achieve a goal or objective is blocked or remains available when a pwBPD is in a state of arousal?
