Hey everyone, new member to the board. I have struggled with BPD for a while now, and now that I'm out of college and in the real world where nothing is really "fixed", I feel like I've gone off the deep end! I am trying to figure out ways to cope with BPD, manage relationships with friends, and live my day to day without feeling on edge or paranoid about everything.

One of my major issues is that it's impossible to relate to anyone on a superficial, let alone intimate, level, so I would like to see how I relate to you guys who know what the suffering is like. I want to hear your stories of BPD experiences. Struggles, successes, tips, hints, tricks... the whole thing. I just need to talk to some people who get it, to stop feeling so isolated.
