Hi Deneb,
I haven't ever posted directly to you, but I've read a lot of your posts and I feel like I know you a little. I'm sorry you're going through a very hard time right now, and honestly, I don't think I have any intelligent answers to your questions. I really can't say one way or the other if you have BPD because I don't know you IRL, and even if I did, I'm not a pdoc and shouldn't be diagnosing things in people I know. I think that if anyone on this site would tell you you have BPD, I wouldn't take their word as the truth neccessarily, because it's not a professional's opinion.
<This is absolutely horrid...is it ok to say that I think my life is ruined?>
I'm sorry you feel that bad. :-( It might seem that way right now, but I am of the opinion that no one's life is ever ruined unless they decide it is.
<I don't fit in...I don't even fit in here.>
Just because people might react strongly to things you post doesn't mean you don't fit in. Just because you make some mistakes in how you post doesn't mean you don't fit in.
<Am I being manipulative by talking about this?>
If you are honestly wanting help, then I don't believe it's manipulative. By condeming yourself you are basically giving yourself no way out--but there is a way out. Deneb, I think you need someone to help you deal with might MAY be BPD, or something else.
<<I don't think there is any help for me that will work. I've already gotten help. Is it ok for me to say again that I think I'm doomed?>>
Please forgive me, I don't know your history. Have you seen a pdoc? Have you been diagnosed with BPD and been treated? Why don't you think that anything will help?
Hugs to you.
