Nicky, you're never too old to transform. You're only a couple of years older than me, and like you, my life has been what I call, a trail of scorched earth. My BPD diagnosis came just this year. I've been in DBT counseling since March, and in group for a little over a month. It is a journey.
I'm also thinking of seeing if I can qualify for a Service Dog. I could use the buffer when I'm out in public, and my dog would be a reason to go outside my home more often. There are other skills I would utilize, and as far as the going outside the home part, just the thought of it with a dog companion gives me hope.
