Do you try to take care of others emotionally but can't take care of self?
I've realised that I try to do that but I'm not very good at that either. And have been abandoned by self?

Most of the time I try to act the way I think I should regaurdless of how I am feeling. I go from being emotionally numb to really sensitive sometimes and I try and temper myself.

I try to help others before myself almost all of the time. When I can't or when I do too much, it causes me to go in to a tailspin, either out of guilt, stress, or I become self-damning because I feel inadequate.

Pretty typical of BPD I think. But then I go through phases after doing too much, caring too much and putting too much into others that I am left feeling spent, and I back off completely making people wonder if I've left them or stopped caring o.O

Completely relate to these. I either care too much or couldn't care less. And guilt rules everything.

Yes I try to help others but at times I don't always have the words.

Yes I do as well. Way too much and at the expense of myself almost all the time. Then when I don't get the same level back I start to hate myself for caring too much about the wrong people and then the hate comes out.
Then the anger, etc. All too often I find this happening.
