I think there are several reasons for me to be still single.. at the age of 33, turning 34 in less than 2 months

I am sure that's part of me that no longer believes in love
a part of me that has broken since each break-up.. pieces of me must have broken every time a relationship ended leading to a point when I no longer have trust in love..
no longer trust that people ...

I wanted to see what everyone thought about having so many failed relationships that maybe the best thing to do is to meet other BPD males/females and they should date each other. I feel like maybe that’s what I need or what’s best. At this rate I’ll be single forever. Atleast the two will understand where each other is coming from. Has anyone done this before or is this just a disaster waiting to happen?

I’ve never had an exact diagnosis of depression/anxiety. I pretty much showed up to my GP and said I felt I had some symptoms and was pointed down the road of counselling and eventually medication.

In relationships, it seems whenever a partner and I argue I explode by either self-harming, throwing stuff at them or binge drinking to the point I end up in danger such as walking home alone. I've really made an effort ...

I'm in a bad place right now, and have been for the last few weeks. I've been in DBT therapy for almost three months now. My heart's not in it, I don't want to go and my motivation is zero. Yet I'm scared of what'll happen if I quit, I'll be left with nothing again.
But I can't get a grasp of what I'm supposed to do with the homework, I don't get or don't ...

the last time when I fell for real was with someone in late 2015.. and we met up again briefly in Jan 2018 to put an end to it
the time before I feel very strongly with someone was at late 2014 and late 2013.
since late 2015..
In late 2016-2017, I dated someone for couple months, on and off for almost a year but that wasn't anything committed and there was no strong emotional ...

Hello,

I am a 21 year old female in the UK who was diagnosed with BPD in June 2018.

To give some context, I have always been ‘sensitive’ since childhood, and was bullied a lot for being ‘weird’ and quiet when I was younger. I am naturally introverted and was always content spending time on my own drawing, reading, etc. I experienced a lot of anxiety surrounding social situations and my own sense of identity ...

Hey there...

Once again I feel a huge chaos inside of me. This summer during my vacation (I went away alone) I met some people and there is one that I can't get out of my head. I met him in a hostel where he was with a friend of his. I heard them talking to each other and found them somehow funny. We quickly started to talk and decided to go out together (the ...

I have read many articles in which they say that BPD people can't experience empathy, like NPD and AsPD people. But I'm pretty sure my empathy is extremely high, I'm very responsive to the environment around me, and if someone that's close to me experiences sadness then I'll get at least as sad even though it may have nothing to do with me. It's like I feel and respond to other people's emotions very strongly. ...

I wanted some people's opinions on relationships with BPD people.

So I'm dating a girl with BPD, shes in therapy and on some combination of meds. I am also in therapy for depression and also on meds. So like immediately, I know this is something I have to put work into.

I love her so much, and I do everything in my power to always be there for her. Even when shes having (for lack ...
