So I'm 26, diagnosed BPD. Not worked since January following a spectacular breakdown at work leading me to quit because I couldn't cope with the stress. There have been other stressful and traumatic things that have happened to me this year too, but I don't want to go into detail right now.

Now I feel so lost. Moving back to my home town because there is a support network there for me in the shape of my family and friends. But I don't know what to do with my life. I feel stuck in a massive rut, held by fear that anything I try, job wise, I will not be able to cope with, or my depression or extreme emotions will eventually take over and prevent me from being able to function at work and I'll lose my job again.

I know I need to build a life for myself, one that I can enjoy and embrace and have fun in. But I don't know where to start. I guess I'm looking for some advice, and also maybe some reassurance that it is possible to come back from the darkness of not wanting to live, and find light and life and happiness again....

How though? Really?
