So. Staying away from him was easy when I thought I'd be able to date other guys.

But 2,5 months in, and I'm back to my old thought pattern: normal guys are not atttracted to me, unless I get skinnier.

I am tall.

I am overweight.

I am emotionally unstable.

And I feel extremely alone and more desperate.

I called xdBPDbf 2 days ago after a date that included a painful rejection.

It was so nice to talk to him. To hear how he's doing. He knows me, and knows me when I feel like this, and knows how to cheer me up. All other friends INCLUDING PARENTS AND RELATIVES did not respond to my text saying I was feeling really bad. Or they swiftly responded. NOBODY PICKS UP THE PHONE. NOBODY CARES.

I'm going over to him tomorrow to watch a movie. He's not promising a better relationship. We're not even discussing that. I know I can't have with him what I want - he knows he can't give it. I'm getting into psychotherapy as of next week. I hope things will change there or I will relapse into an unstable r/s with him.

If there's one time in life when friends and family really need to step up to the plate and ping you its when you're in the fallout of a BPD relationship.  Unfortunately, most people just don't get it.  I guess at least we'll know what to do if we see a friend or family member get railroaded by a BPD relationship -- we'll reach out a hand.

In the meantime, we have these boards.
