Alone

Does anyone else fear being alone.  If I am busy then I can avoid depression.  Once i'm alone, I start to feel thoughts of guilt and isolation. The hours roll buy and I become unproductive.  I know my brain can work or I wouldnt be able to write this, but when I spend time alone I'm frozen with fear and dread and I can not structure my days.  Everything I have planned falls apart.  Does anyone else with BPD experience extra loneliness?  How do you cope when you are off track with your career and stay up a good deal of the night because of anxiety?

Hi...it's a new day....I've struggled a life time when I've No Routine, my mind doesn't shut down when trying to sleep so I put off going to bed, and in these current times, I think normal Is a Form of Anxiety, otherwise you'd Not Be Normal :)

Lately, I have had life altering situations happen, and I'm feeling like I Really Need Focus to stay mentally strong...so for me it's a Try Hard to do ?, be gentle with myself if I fall short, and pick myself back up and start again...easy no, but that is life and living with the cards I've been dealt. Best To You!!

Welcome Pierre,

Check loneliness, check anxiety, check depression...

Coping? We all learn how and sometimes if we are lucky we learn from each other!

This is a good place to be real and a great place to get feedback...

It's worth your time and your effort and remember what I tend to forget

"This too shall pass!"

Thanks everyone. I guess I just have to figure out how to deal with the new normal of life and see the silver lining in this cloud.

There's also a Loneliness and Anxiety board on here

I would be really careful with caffeine if you aren't sleeping

Have you talked with your psychiatrist about this Pierre?... Maybe a med tweak would help??…..xo

I get very lonely and it's a terrible feeling. I'm sorry you feel this way. I've experienced a lot of rejection in my life. That's really painful.
Big hugs.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
