I'm highly confused at the moment, my boyfriend found out yesterday that a childhood friend killed himself and I have no idea how to help him, seems that anything i say would be of no help and i can't figure out how he feels and what would be of any comfort, I am myself lost in my feelings i guess you guys know that feeling of "what do I feel, is this how i feel ...

seeing as ive always felt like i didnt know exactly who i was as a person, i also have had problems deciding whether or not i was a good or bad person.
or if it was possible to be a bit of both.

i know for a fact that on the outside, im extremely nice, friendly, and approachable. and lately i have really taken a big interest in karma and that whole "zen" outlook on ...

So I'm attached to my psychologist. I've been seeing her for just over a year and a half.
I'm so scared of her leaving me. :(
If she were to leave me(ie. move away which results in me not being able to see her/her believing I'm stable and healthy enough to not need her etc.) I can only imagine what would happen. To be honest I can ...

I just am not sure how people make friends.

Even without BPD, after a certain age it is just really difficult to meet new people and have much time to bond and share experiences with each other.

I have this friend who I've known for pretty much my whole life. I'm fifteen and I met her when I was three.
Now, she's moved interstate and I feel like I've lost my identity. I just don't know who I am without her. She is me. I found this quote thing, that says:

My therapist of 2+ years triggered me big time the other day. I finally brought up the subject of how I feel ashamed of my core personality.
