I think that BPD people need to get used to being alone. We are misunderstood folks and can be too needy on others at times. It's important that you do things even if there isn't someone to do them with you.

Maybe I got my words all wrong, I'm a tad confused at the moment. I agree with what you say completely about the general stuff. For me however the isolation is that break you talk about. I've had years of the education field at a senior level and I'm sick of the Back stabbing and constant need to have a double or more life. The isolation, for me, is going to be part of the healing process. But.... You're right, I'm still out walking, seeing my kids and doing stuff. I'm also here trying to make friends and find out what it takes to survive with BPD. I hope I will be less isolated by chatting here.
Not sure if any of that made any sense at all. Hey, many thanks for your words.
