hi there, its been 2 weeks since my BPD diagnosis and I wanted to share &amp; ask something ive been dealing with. so my childhood was very stressful (I guess that's a way to put it) and I had to find some ways to cope/escape from my reality. I ended up creating a world in my head where I could be whoever I wanted to be, be loved unconditionally w/o the fear of abandonment etc. ive used this coping mechanism as long as I can remember (im 17, not that old but you get the point). 

Because of maladaptive daydreaming, my BPD was extremely quiet and hard to diagnose because most of the time I tend to withdraw from actual/real human connections and I spend all my time in my head, (also being alone is still painful, just more bearable with MD.) I wondered if anybody else w BPD experienced/experiencing something similar to this?
