Title: Introduction Post by: bettsie2769 on August 17, 2015, 07:19:25 PM Hello all. Recently, I have sought counseling for issues related to forming personal relationships due to issues remaining from my childhood with a BPD mother. At present, I don't know much other than I genuinely would like to stop being skittish and incapable of creating meaningful friendships with people. My counselor directed me to this site, and so far I've looked at some of the lessons and descriptions of BPD traits. What I've read so far has really caused some lights to go off for me :light: I'm looking forward to gaining knowledge to help me learn to let myself make friends and improve my relationships in general as well.
