Title: Farewell Post by: Pretty Woman on December 23, 2013, 09:48:44 AM Hi All,
I just wanted to take the opportunity to say goodbye. It is not easy, as I have really come to regard all of you as trusted friends on this journey through BPD (my nightmare and hell). I am working with a new therapist and have been instructed to stay off the boards/eliminate all contact with my ex-including being in the same environment/social circle and to not read self-help books. This is intensive therapy and I am fully committed to it for the next year. It is ridiculously expensive but I was going to have surgery last year (weight loss) for the same cost. I want to get better and get my life on track. This is my gift to myself. What I have learned: I have BPD traits. My mother was a borderline. I push pulled my ex as much as she did me... . She never loved me, and I was looking for approval from someone who would never be able to give it to me. She is like a wounded bird I caged because I wanted to keep her. I never thought she would leave... . and she did. Many of us on here suffer from self esteem issues. We also have BPD/borderline traits. We are NOT healthy. We never would have stayed with these people if we were. I want all of you to get better. I want all of you to be happy, healthy and thriving. If I could make one wish today it would be that each and everyone of you find the love you are seeking... . within yourselves. You are HERE. You are the healthier of the two persons in your past relationship. God, I just wish that for you with much love in my heart. Know you are thought of. This is going to be very hard for me (not checking in after today). A special thanks to Skip and all who moderate this site. You do such a great job. I wish BPD did not exist. I know this site wouldn't be in existance but wow, could you imagine a world without this? I really wish you all a happy holiday season and a blessed New Year. If you are NOT in some sort of therapy, please, please look into it. You need the tools to get through this and live a happy, happy life. Love to you all.
