Oh what a mess This is good you got this workbook, sounds like a great thing to try. I don't know about sister situation, will read later when I check in on bpd forum. But for a new support system, how about here for now? My pdoc counts this as therapy for me, she says it's a form of therapy. But just keep in mind keeping healthy boundaries and it's your duty to block anyone negative, triggering or unsupportive. Also, for support system, can you try to find a local support group or some group thing you find interesting where you could meet new friends? My irl support group is still in the works. I have friends but still coming out of my shell and trying to plant seeds of understanding so that I won't be totally rejected when I come out and tell them my dx. I have told some and usually they say, you're not bp, bp people are really crazy. This hurts bad. makes me withdraw further so they won't have to see just how crazy I can get. It's no joke.
