Hi Angel Girl,
> I currently don't have a pdoc
Not good. Wouldn't it be best to try and find a good one ASAP? It is possible for you to get well, but you need the help of a good pdoc who understands BPD.
>and I dumped my therapist this week.
I hope he (or she) landed right side up. :-)
>So, right now I'm not getting any help other than my GP, who will no longer change my meds. I'm in the process of trying to get into a program that specializes for BPD.
Yes! I encourage you to do all you can to politely invite yourself into the BPD program.
>You're right about the friends. I have very few left that will have anything to do with me. I feel so alone.
Angel, try hard to give to others (even strangers) without expecting anything in return. Look for opportunities to be kind to others without wanting anything outta the deal for yourself. This week, if you can, please volunteer at a nursing home or hospital or some place similar for just twenty minutes. By the measure you give, it shall be given back to you. This is not always true in each individual case, but in general and over the long run, I've found this to be a valid axiom.These are just my suggestions. Do I come across overly simplistic? Does it sound like I'm trying to tell you how to live your life? Does it sound like I think you never do nice things for others? Does it sound like I'm suggesting that you become a door mat? If so, please forgive me 'cause none of these is my intent. Instead, my sole thesis here is that, if you want friends, be friendly without wanting anything in return. As human beings, we find this kind of selfless love very attractive.
You sound like a neat gal. I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy having you as a friend.
