I'm wondering if any of you who are either in the process of seriously working on your BPD or consider yourself in remission find (or found) it helpful to abstain from any romantic relationships while in recovery. It's been years since diagnosis and I'm finally at the point where I am ready to commit to therapy, I also happen to be at a cross roads in my relationship, I find it might be beneficial to completely focus on myself without the stress a relationship puts on me in relation to my BPD. But then I fear that if i recover in a relationshipless bubble that when I finally do go back to dating all hell will break loose.
