I just needed to let this out somewhere
I’ve been feeling really low lately. The world looks grey most days, nothing excites me much, and I carry this persistent feeling of emptiness that’s hard to explain to people who haven’t felt it.
I was recently diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder). It explained a lot of things I couldn’t make sense of before, but it also hit hard. Putting a name to it doesn’t automatically make it easier to live with.
I don’t have many close friends. Not because I don’t try, but deep connections are difficult for me, and I often feel lonelier in a room full of people than when I’m actually alone.
With guys it’s always the same story. Something starts, I let myself feel it, and then they disappear. I’ve been ghosted more times than I can count. I know rationally it’s not about my worth, but when your self-esteem is already on the floor, every time it happens it confirms something you were already afraid was true.
I struggle to believe I have something real to offer. My diagnosis makes me wonder sometimes if I’m just too much, or not enough, or both at the same time.
I’m not sure what I’m looking for here. Maybe just someone who reads this and gets it.
