Hi I’m newly diagnosed with BPD! I’m looking for your tips for the one most crippling and frustrating facet of BPD I experience. i find myself feeling overwhelmingly jealous, hurt or abandoned when my friends or family members leave after hanging out with me or decline invitations to hang out/do something together. I can spend hours hanging out with them but if they’re done and I don’t feel done hanging out yet I can get very triggered and feel angry and upset, to the point I feel like I don’t even want to care about the person anymore.  I can even get mad and ignore their future attempts to reach out because I will be so bummed and convinced they don’t care about me or ignore them because I’m so upset they “left” me previously.


It’s polarizing, unhealthy and makes me feel physically ill and I’m scared at how it’s making me punish, push away or be unfair to the people I care about. How can I manage being no longer the top priority of people I’m making top priority in a moment like that.  I KNOW HOW IRRATIONAL ALL OF THIS IS but I cannot stop my emotional brain from responding this way. Please help me manage!
