Looking for bpd texting buddies
I'm a stay at home mom with bpd and crippling anxiety who's looking for a friend with bpd who likes chatting through texting as forI'm not very good with calls but need someone who gets what I feel and doesn't make me feel like I'm just a problem and I'm not sure how to do so. So here I am

Hello! There have been a couple other similar threads recently:

Maybe some of the participants in those threads might be interested in connecting. Tagging them:

FYI, there are some limitations to 7 Cups that might make what you're looking for challenging:
1) It's against the rules to share offsite contact info with people (e.g. phone numbers, social media accounts)
2) The 1-on-1 private messaging feature on Cups (which is most similar to texting) only works if at least one of the participants is a listener (i.e. members can't PM with other members). The main workaround people typically use is creating a PenPal thread and tagging other people in it:

This might also be relevant: list of listeners who have lived experience with BPD:

@QuietMagic Fellow bpd sufferer here. I struggle with my relationship
I'd be willing to be BPD chat buddies! (:
I'm Brandon btw 😁
Most definitely. I'm Sarah. 39. Work part time. I'm a mom too. Would love to text! Also have bpd.
It's okay I am very good at conversation ☺️

It take a lot of bravery to come forward, and speak on what you have been struggling with currently. However, you are beyond resilient and worthy of companionship <3
