Title: Hello out there Post by: love2laugh on December 20, 2023, 04:25:19 PM I learned about this online group from a book I'm reading - Essential Family Guide to BPD, New Tools & Techniques... I'm hoping to find a support network as I am single and do not have a companion or friend with whom I feel able to share struggles trying to maintain and keep peace in a precious but difficult relationship with an adult BPD sibling. Being introverted with social anxiety has led me to feel isolated, lonely and discouraged. I'm working with an excellent therapist, but also recognize the need to practice more self care and better educate myself for improved coping and communication strategies going forward.

Glad you felt ready to reach out for some support. It can really help that this group is anonymous with no set meeting times -- lower pressure. We'd love to hear more about your situation, when you feel ready -- how old is your sibling? Do you two live together? |
