People with Borderline Personality Disorder
can't help but experience a profound loneliness
in whatever way that manifests for them because they are not connected to
any stable sense of self - to the authentic self. This means
that people with BPD are not only lonely in the world, they
are lonely firstly
and fore mostly from within - living in and from an
internally isolated and disconnected,
often alienated, abyss where that sense of self should be.
This is one of the symptoms I can
strongly relate to.
Hence the title "A Longing For Love".
BPD can be devastating, but it can also be treated.
Both for people with BPD and their loved ones.
It is important to know there is help, there is hope.
