I'd thought I'd mention that I've decided to move out from home. Basically the situation at home turned from bad to worse and my house has to be sold which leaves my housing situation as uncertain. Without some kind of proper housing foundation I can't put all the other pieces in place (job, friendships, life, etc.). It just really stuffs me up.

I was just diagnosed with BPD a week ago and I’m trying to immerse myself with information.

My story is probably not as sad as some…My dad passed away when I was 12 and I was left with an narcissistic and borderline personality disorder laden mother. She was physically there but never emotionally and she was ALWAYS trashing my father’s memory calling him a bastard or tarnishing happy memories.
