I would just like to say how grateful I am to have all of you to talk to and gain support from. I have only been diagnosed borderline for two weeks, but I've known for five years that I was. I have been to some very dark places and I have struggled so hard with intense emotions. It often feels like my emotions are a strong current constantly dragging me down. Every time I feel like my heads coming above water, another wave comes around. It has been so good to know that others feel it too. I love you guys so much, you're very dear to my heart.
I hope I can continue to talk to more of you and hopefully help some people as well.

I know what you mean, so clearly. I've been this way all of my life and I'm 54 now. Sabotaging my relationships, nearly all of them...my son and ex husband are pretty much the only people I talk to besides you all here. My ex is infuriatingly 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' kind of person, but my son understands a bit more. He's had feelings much like mine in the past and I think he probably is BPD as well.....he was dx's with ADHD when he was in 1st grade, and consiquently hates all therapists now, and is not on medication. He's pretty well put together at the moment but his emotions go wonkey too sometimes.

I'm just so grateful I found a place to talk to people who are feeling what I'm feeling...particularly now, with my job ending (terrified!!) and breaking up with my bf (which was shattering to my self-esteem on so many levels)....I don't know what I'd do if it weren't for you all. My T is fine but sometimes I just don't think she gets it. Even if she DOES get it. If that makes any sense.

I feel the same way about this site! It's a great way to not feels so alone when someone gets where your head is. I hope you continue finding support here and wish you luck in recovery.

Aww.
I didn't find out about online BPD communities until 5 months after being Dx, and I felt the same way you do.
With DBT and support, things will get easier over time.
