Chrise-
I can't specifically answer your question, as I am in a similar place myself. In fact, I was just diagnosed with BPD yesterday....I just wanted to say that I know what that chronic emptiness felt like for me: always doubting myself, seeking intensity in order to feel alive, changing my values and friends depending on who I was dating at this time....and then I would blame them for stifling me. I wish you well. |

That is a tough question to answer. What I'm beginning to realize is that I need to be the one to fill the emptiness. No, I haven't figured out how to do that yet. But no one can do it for me.
I think making little changes here and there help. Just want you to know you are not alone.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
