To your questions: I don't see you as attention-seeking or manipulative. I've never been offended by you. I honestly forget the other questions, but basically I think you' About leaving the forum, I think you should follow your heart on that one. There's a big area of middle between posting on here at the level that you do, and leaving altogether. You could only respond to certain people if that's an issue. You could respond to original posts without reading anything else that's been in replies which is what I'm gonna try and do. You could come on and PM people you feel you work well with, also something I'm trying. It should be up to w you and what you feel you can handle not your t's or husband's oppinion.

Hello Adel, and thanks for your feedback.

I was diagnosed as BPD in 2004 when I was 26. My second therapist dropped the diagnosis in 2009. My current T says I have BPD tendencies, but not the full disorder.

You make several good suggestions for cutting back my time on here. However, I plan to just post as I always have. I am who I am. I'm trying to change those parts of me I am going to change. If other people (here and IRL) cannot handle that, it is not my problem. I can only do the best I can and I'm doing the best I can.

Is it possible to have a "desperate" need that you yourself are unaware of? Who is "desperate" about this?

Sorry I can't be more help!

I do want to expand my circle of friends, but perhaps not as widely as T would like.

Hi Chopin,
You're welcome. Thanks for explaining your history with the BPD diagnosis.
I wish I were as comfortable with myself as you seem to be, to keep posting as you have been and to know that you're doing your best and it's really not your problem what others think. Guess I don't feel that confident, and am so easily influenced by others. But I can tell from your post that this feels right for you, so go for it! (smile)
