New here! Who wants to be my friend?!!

Hey All!!!!

I'm new here and VERY HAPPY to have found this discussion forum! I feel so VERY ALONE having this disorder! I feel misunderstood all the time! I'm starting to get confused on what is normal and what is from my disorder. Its very comforting to come across this and know I'm not alone and can come here for advice and support!

I've skimmed through the rules and was wondering if there are any specific rules on being friends with people on here (which i assume there aren't any). Like, if i want to personally email someone back and forth and have an online BPD buddy.

if so, anyone want to be my friend?! haha. I'm 25, out of college and pretty lost on what i want to do career-wise. pretty dependent on my boyfriend which i hate. SUPER emotional/sensitive and i am terrified of abandonment.

if anyone seems to have this in common and wants to be my buddy, let me know!

Hey there! Welcome to the forum!

Many people here get to know each other well, and I think many of us consider this a little "family" so to speak. We encourage people to use the open forum to chat and discuss issues, but there is also the PM feature. As with any information you share over the internet, if you choose to share your e-mail in PM, please keep safety in mind.

Cheze2 is right!

However, if you ever need someone to talk to, I've found everyone here to be very nice and helpful
And if you need someone to talk to, I know I can relate to what you said (except the age...I'm only 17 haha).

thats exactly what I thought as I signed up and made a username. that it would be like a little family here since we all understand and get each other! =]

there isn't like a chatroom on this site is there?

No chatroom unfortunately, and we do not allow posting links to outside chatrooms in the open forum. While response time is sometimes slow (Which speaking for myself, can be difficult at times) they do come. It takes some getting used to.

Welcome! I'm always glad to make new friends. Just PM me if you'd like?

okay! i PM'd ya!

First off, welcome to the asylum!

Like Cheze and Alive said, we're a pretty friendly bunch here, especially the Borderlines. We tend to stick together pretty closely here.

As for the reason for no chat room, there was a bit of a chat room war here a while back, and from a mod point of view, it was a bloody nightmare. A bunch of members were advertising third party chat rooms, which, at the time were permitted. However, comments made in other site's chat rooms were spilling over into here, so the big bosses all got together and issued an edict that basically said "nobody hypes a chat room here. Nobody."

Hey there! We're in the same boat so you're in the right place and there are some amazing folks here Welcome!
