Isolating Yourself

Yes, lately I have been isolating myself... Just don't want to be around people, avoid relationships. I just came to terms with my diagnosis of bpd, even though I was told years ago I had it. I was also told at that time the prognosis was poor and I would probably kill myself. We'll he wasn't far off because I have had 3 serious suicide attempts. Fears of abandonment, feeling weird and different from every one, problems maintaining relationships, severe problems working and now isolating.... The good news is that I have an appt with a therapist soon..... Just looking for friendship in this chat room. Would love to hear from you!!!

me too i isolate myself a lot, though I'm going to this day group and it gets me out of the house socializing

I have bad social anxiety and my communication skills are next to nil. Generally I'm a fearful person and have a hard time leaving the house even on better days. I stay in my bedroom and keep waiting for a breakthrough that I know has to come from within. It's difficult when you don't feel like you belong anywhere.

*nod nod*

It's a bit of a long story though and I'm still a little raw over it. Maybe I'll post about it one day in the future
