hello Reddit.

so basically, i've been unable to have meaningful relationships with other people. the only ones in the last few years I've talked to with whom I felt like I could be myself and had great conversations were my ex-girlfriend (cut off all contact with her) who had bipolar disorder, and my best friend who is schizophrenic. 

on the contrary, making friends with people who don't have a mental health disorder or even have a "milder" illness like depression or anxiety is extremely hard for me. 

I guess this is partly an off-my-chest thing, partly looking for advice, and partly looking for friends who also struggle with BPD, since i can't talk to my best friend all the time 😞
