On and off for the past year my anxiety has been really flaring up with concern to being alone for the rest of my life. I have a boyfriend who I spend time with every weekend and I have my parents. I’m so very grateful for them but I can’t shake the feeling that my parents are getting quite old and me being an only child; am terrified of what will happen when they’re gone. My parents have been a constant support to me and they really are the most understanding people when it comes to my BPD and know how to handle it. I’m afraid that when they’re gone, no one will care for me like they do and I’ll really have no will to go on. From my experience boyfriends and friends come and go but family stays. My mom and dad are the only family I have and it just scares me to death that I won’t be able to function without them and I will never find that same  unconditional love.
