I am always mentioning how no one can understand or relate to the problems I am facing right now, which really makes me feel like I should just keep my problems to myself. That is getting to be too big of burden to bear. Hope this serves as a good resource for finding people who may relate.

Hi,
Ellen22012
! Welcome.
It sounds like you've got a lot going on. I can relate to how heavy it feels when there's no one around you feel you can talk with. Hugs.
Is there a problem you're coping with you could use some support with? We are here to listen and most of us here, me included, can relate to what it feels like to be in an emotionally intense relationship with someone with BPD. You are not alone!

Hello
I want to join the other members in welcoming you !
Life can be overwhelming, even without personality disorders in the mix !
We are here to listen. Everyone here knows about the dynamics of BPD, and what it can do to you. No question is strange enough to ask. Sometimes BPD also influences areas in our lives not directly related with the BPD person. I recently posted about my way of feeling emotions. The question itself had nothing to do with dealing with pwBPD.
As a first poster it can be difficult to point out what exactly the issues are we are facing. Life is such a complex thing, and everything is related.
Your profile mentions that your sister is the BPD person in your life, correct ?
Do you still see your sister ? My sister has BPD traits, like my mum. But we are NC (no contact).
How would you describe the relationship with your sister ?
We hope to hear from you soon. We are all here for each other.
