Long time lurker here. I got my diagnosis two years ago, and I’m still trying to figure out how to deal with living with BPD. 
Long story short, I was in a really dark place for a while (reverting back to old patterns, like pushing away my FP, self- harming, and letting self care fall by the wayside). 

I read through a ton of posts here, and I finally realize that I am not alone, and that there is a supportive community here that understands what so many others cannot. I feel rejuvenated, and I have started to take care of myself again. I feel like I can do this. I know progress is not linear, but I have hope.

I just wanted to say thank you, to all of you, for existing. For staying strong and not letting BPD win. For reminding me that I can be strong, too.
