i am now coining the term "relationsh!ts" btw lol

my main concern is that because now ive been diagnosed i have now lost all hope that i am ever going to have a stable relationship ever because im concious of my ways and think that no-one is ever going to accept me for what i am and be able to tolerate my flaws or quirks or whatever it is they are.

im doomed
As soon as I read the part in the DSM about "stable relationships", I gave up on love until I met my husband. This diagnosis can be very disturbing, I know.

I need to remember that it does not define everything I am.

I hope you can tell yourself that, maybe?
