I first came to Reddit straight out of a breakup and freshly diagnosed. After finally to a rather chaotic conclusion of my former FP (hadn’t talked since we broke up but I was told that I was hated and everyone I love is condemned…because I apologized for the loss of a sister he never told me about lol) and even taking a gander in the sex industry and trying to figure out who I am as a person after that loss of identity and feeling and I’m finally getting somewhere. I got off my Effexor which was giving me horrible side effects (withdrawal is still bad, do NOT, PLEASE, stop taking anything without consulting your doctor) and I’m getting motivation to do things. I’m dating someone that really cares and respects my mental illness. I’m owning up to shitty things I have done in the past and trying to become the best version of me now. 
While r/BPD is more supportive, I used to live on r/BorderlinePersonalityDisorder and it was full of negativity. It fed into this hole I was already deep in and kept digging into. I’m finally figuring out how to get out of it.
This is the internet so it’s not like many people will care for a paragraph, esp on this kind of sub, but I am leaving these threads. They don’t serve the same purpose they used to; I try helping others now and occasionally rant. And while I can write it down somewhere, I want to save that ranting for therapy when it starts, and not treat Reddit like my diary anymore.
While I am leaving, I actually want to thank ALL of you. You make this community possible, and you sharing your troubles can make all the difference for those in the world that feel completely alone and misunderstood. It’s just time for me to close this chapter and really take a positive path that’ll benefit my health and future in the long run. 
I wish you all the best and only healing and thriving ✨🤞
