You sound alot like I used to pre-dx and treatment.
Reason I ask is, its hard to battle an unseen enemy. Whereas if it were revealed, you'd know how to combat it.
Just speaking from experience and what worked for me.

I was diagnosed 13 years ago. I was told very recently that (after a lot of work) I no longer meet criteria. I've been downgraded to borderline traits, lol.
Still doesn't mean I'll win all of the battles or fix all of the broken things, though. 4 years ago, I probably would have done something self-destructive to cope with how I felt about my future love life situation. Instead, I allowed myself to have a low-stim day, cried a lot, came on here to type out a long post and, in general, I'm alright. I don't want to hurt myself or die, and while I am sad, I feel like this, like everything else, will pass. Will I be able to navigate a relationship when this sadness passes? Probably not...I really am not just feeling sorry for myself here, this is a choice to stop trying, and I think I'm gonna choose to make it. But I will be okay.
