Totally new here. Actually, new to posting on any sort of online forum which seems weird given that i'm a millennial. Anyway. I have BPD + binge eating disorder +anxiety disorder +depression (I can't remember the exact diagnosis but I get depressed easily and frequently). I've just totally fallen off the wagon in terms of taking care of myself. I'm not using any of the DBT skills I learned (graduated from outpatient treatment January 2017) and just feel that fun BPD symptom of general emptiness. I don't know anyone with BPD, so while my few friends are supportive, I sense they get exhausted with my ups and downs, well actually I know they do. I mean even my family does. I really just don't have any close friends at this point, I've kinda driven them all away, and more so, they've continued on with their lives while I'm nearly 3 years post grad and still living at home. And I know life will be somewhat easier once I have a job in my field and have moved out and am taking care of myself and working out and keeping my spaces tidy, I have absolutely no motivation to do anything to work towards those goals. I just keep feeling like it's too late. Like the damage that Ive done to my life is done and there's no way I can get to where I want to be, you know? idk. Idk what I'm even hoping for in posting this. Can anyone else relate? maybe it's less a bpd thing and more about anxiety. But I mean I'm totally trying to self-soothe in unhealthy ways, ie binge eating, and impulse buying. i don't know. I just feel totally alone and lost. And now I've actually got this incredible opportunity to work abroad and all I have to do is respond to an email but I'm freaked out. Anyone ever feel idk scared of things going right? Like I said, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for here, but I guess, does anyone have any tips? thx
