New to this site - not sleeping and distressed so thought i might call by....  bottom line is - i am lonely.... bone numbingly, heart breakingly lonely.  i have suffered long term depression and bpd for a really long time and just when i think things are getting better something happens and i am once again dragged into the black murky depths.  i just want a simple happy life with friends and a supportive partner. Honest to god I dont know why it all has to be this hard.  anyway - thanks for listening 😢

dear Brdget, hello and thanks for giving us the opportunity to be able to talk to you.

You are not sleeping because there is too much going on for you, so your mind just goes around in circles, getting nowhere, and it's a process that will continue until you get help from your doctor and then possibly a psychologist.

You are not able to solve these problems all by yourself, because your mind makes a decision and then you disregard what you have said, so then you become unsure and in a complicated mess.

I have been where you are now and know that it's a terrible place to be, although I don't have BPD which maybe your main concern, only a doctor could diagnose you, but you also need help from those who have been where you are.

Being lonely and having your heart broken is why we would really love to help you, so I hope that you can get back to us to try and make your life happy again, it's not impossible. Geoff.
