This thread helps confirm my long term desire to self terminate. I didn’t have much insight into how a bpd looks from both sides but it’s clear to me that having a psychiatric disorder can put someone in a whole different universe from others despite appearances.

If someone believes others are out to get them, if they’re sensitive, or whatever behaviors they manifest, who is anyone to say what they feel is right or wrong? Their behaviors may not fit in with society at large, but nobody can speak to their perceptions.

The world is complicated now and people on average have a more intricate social universe than ever before. I’m sad to say that I couldn’t find my place in human society. Seeing where I am at personally relative to what I’ve learned from this thread is very painful.

Wishing for the best for everyone here. Nobody should have to suffer and it’s commendable that so many fight the good fight. Be well.

Please don't, it's absolutely possible to turn things around and live a wonderful and happy life. I can tell you this from personal experience.

I've spent the past few years searching for ways of overcoming emotional and personality disorders in myself. Looking back, it's pretty clear that there were significant symptoms of narcissistic/borderline/histrionic personality disorders, that had devastating effects on my relationships and my career.

I've worked on myself daily for the past few years to understand and overcome these traits. In the past 1-2 years I've come out of the tunnel and am now living a very different life, with a thriving career, a wonderful home, dramatically improving relationships with my friends and family, a great relationship with a wonderful, caring partner, and every reason to be optimistic about the future.

Just 3 years ago I was like you, thinking it was all futile and questioning whether it was worthwhile to carry on.

Please get in touch. It's hard to find good advice and support but I think my experiences and learnings could be valuable to you.

My email address in my profile.

Please, you are valued and loved, and there is hope.

No no no. Please don't. I guarantee that shit will turn around for you and that you will do much more harm than you think to those you love. At least give me the chance to prove you right. Shoot me an email: einar@vollset.com - you seem smart. Do it.
Come on... email is easy. You seem smart.. Email me: einar@vollset.com
