While I have never been formerly diagnosed with BPD, I am the same as Elektra. I have a pattern of becoming friends with people, and the friendships are so intense and personal (mostly on my part) that I end up becoming to dependent and scaring them away. Romantic relationships are also fast and intense. I usually end them though because I either become super bored and fall out of love with them, or I end them to avoid being abandoned by them in the end.

Just curious, does anyone have the same thing with therapists? I know I just got a new T, and I absolutely love her in a non-romantic way. I can't wait for our sessions, and I am super bummed that she will be away on vacation this week. This has happened in the past with other T's. its either love at first sight which leads to a slight dependence, or I hate them on the spot and I will shut down completely.
