I highly recommend two things to you for BPD. - 1: exercising and 2: following spiritual teachings. Exercise has long term effects on both mind and body, and spiritual teachings can offer you a fresh perspective on life that you just didn't have before. It can really open your eyes. I follow Eckhart Tolle.

You might try the chatrooms here, but, to be honest, I'm skeptical about the potential effectiveness of any kind of online interactions. I only do this because I don't get any kind of interaction in real life. Why not try meetup.com or other "hang out" sites (or simply coffee shops) to meet people and practice ? With strangers, the stakes are low.

I underwent regular (CBT ?) talk therapy for years, with no significant improvement. Tried all kinds of meds (SSRIs, benzos, mood stabs, etc) with no improvement whatsoever.
Like I said, exercise and spiritual teachings
P.S. I suffer from BPD, MDD, GAD, and binge eating
