So I've been talking to this potential romantic interest for 3-4 months now. I'm slow to fall in love with someone but I'm starting to feel myself getting invested. I also feel my BPD symptoms cropping up more and more. 

For example, we're been on the phone with each other practically constantly for hours and hours. I asked if we could hang up for a bit so they could get some sleep and I could eat and have some alone time for a bit. That was about 3 hours ago. Now I'm feeling desperate to get back on call with them. Missing them isn't even the right word. There's an ache in my chest and it feels very much like withdrawal symptoms like an addiction. I need the attention, the comfort, the company. They're still sleeping so I haven't heard from them and the pain is not getting easier as time goes on. 

On a separate occasion, they fell asleep in the middle of us texting and even though I knew that was likely what happened, I couldn't help feeling convinced that they hated me and I annoyed them. I was trying really hard to stay rational and not give into the splitting but it was very difficult, and the second I heard back from them I just got this rush of relief. 

Open to all advice on how to handle this sort of withdrawal pain, how to keep myself from developing that FP-kind of attachment, or how to course correct when I catch some of these BPD symptoms cropping up. Thanks!
