Hopefully eventually. I'm trying to approach one thing at a time because I get overwhelmed and shut down pretty easily. I am starting with psychiatry/medication and then will have to see what happens with that. I have no idea how I'm going to feel, or what, or what I will be thinking. But if it goes okay then I would like to try DBT.

I feel like over the past 4-5 years I've just become extremely avoidant. I don't date, I don't make friends, I don't socialize very much, when I have a job I tend to stay quiet and avoid people. I think this is how I started coping with my BPD tendencies. On some level I realized that close relations with others made me extra nuts so I started avoiding people. I don't really think it means I was cured of BPD issues, I just don't get the symptoms much anymore because I have no life.
