Hello Borderline
Hello everyone,
So basically I'm Nikki and I've had BPD for a long time but was only diagnosed last year. I'm struggling a lot and I dont know really what yo do anymore. No-one around me really understands the struggles us with BPD go through on a daily basis. I feel completely alone in this but i hope we in this group can be there and support eachother making this a less lonely existence.

Hey there Nikki 💖 We are all here to support you 😃 I hope our community is able to help you, and I look forward to you becoming part of our community as well 💜
Hi everyone,
Just joined the community. Was diagnosed BPD many years ago and have struggled with relationships (mostly of just the friendship kind) where my BPD would interfere and essentially destroy them due to over-reactions or feeling too strongly for the other person, or a variety of other misunderstandings. It's tough. I found Dialectical Behaviorly Therapy good for this, but it only helps so much, you really have to take control of your mind at all times while being around other people...and I've learned a lot.
Anyway, looking forward to being on here and visiting with you guys in the future.

@Clover77 Thank you for sharing and welcome to our community. We are so glad to have you here !!! I also have BPD and definitely can relate to the friendship part. I have done dbt but as you say it only helps so much .what helps me is mindfulness and using the Stop skill. It has definitely saved some friendships. I look forward in seeing you around !! We have a BPD tomorrow Tuesday at 12pm ET if you like to join !
