It's different for everyone I guess but I think a symptom of BPD is the dreaded 'emptiness,' and it's the worst symptom I think because there's no cure or relief you just have to wait for it to go..
Hope you feel better knowing it's not just you...
And I'm sure it will be over soon

I'm I the same boat, and not too far along in therapy, so I don't know how to help with the emptiness. All I can say is you're not the only one...

Thankyou, all of you.

I really needed to hear that I'm not alone right now. I'm seeing the only person I'll be able to accept affection and hugs from this weekend and hopefully, holding her in my arms for a long time will help just a little. I hate this state and I hate everything, but you guys made me feel a bit better. <3
