I know it is hard, because when you are obsessively attached, it is difficult to see beyond the person, but I would think it is a good idea to take a look underneath this and see what is driving it. What need does this person meet for you? And in what ways can you seek to provide this in either a different way, or by yourself? The trouble with getting another person involved in meeting a need is that 1) they might not agree with helping you meet this need and might not want to and 2) they will not always be there to help with getting this need met
So I would urge you to find out what the need is, and how else you might seek to meet it. Just things I'm needing to work on also  Best of luck and hugs

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and with really helpful suggestions. I've always been really honest with the staff about my BPD and they have a really good knowledge about the disorder and the chaos that it can create in the sufferer's mind. The other staff are fab too and I have started to spend a bit more time with them. I have had counselling before and explored the root of my attachment issues, but never really felt that I have effectively learned from past disasters. I feel with my current sw that I have at least I have a chance of exploring coping strategies and a possible resolution without being treated like a freak.
Sending a big hug back, hope you find a way through xx
