Hey Val. I have BPD too. If it makes you feel better to be with people who understand, I would like to suggest a support group. I have been a member of emotions anonymous for over a year and it has done wonders for me. Feel free to add me. Hugs!

Hi Val - welcome to the site and this group. I'm here because my gf and one of my closest female friends have BPD, resulting in depression, anxiety, avoidance, social isolation, feelings of shame and guilt, and generally a hard time living life the way they want to. I have somewhat milder versions of the same problems, which helps me connect.

It was such a relief when we found out other people have similar issues and that there are ways to improve. Both of them have benefited enormously from DBT therapy and medication. I hope talking with people here helps you similarly.

One warning note: many people on this site share usernames, email addresses, and web site links that make it easy to link them to their real identity. Please be careful about using the same identity here as elsewhere.
