Can I have a friend

MultifandomOtaku profile image

Hi. I don't know if this is ok to post but I want to make friends who are going through their own struggles and understand what I'm feeling. I'm from a small town in Minnesota and I have borderline personality disorder. I've pushed away every friend I had either because they couldn't handle my mental health or I said something I shouldn't have. I just want friends who get what all this is and can support me right.

I honestly don't know what else to do to make friends besides post here asking

Hi

There are many people here that understand how you are feeling. It's a good place to be supported and not feel alone.

The safest way to do it is to interact with people on the open forum. Post and reply to posts that you can relate to.

Take your time to get to know people out on the boards. Just some safety advise I have learned along the way. Don't jump right into private messaging and maintain your privacy. It's safer to not reveal private information.

I hope you find the support you are looking for.

Hi there.

I have also in the last year pushed away two of my only friends of many years. It's hard to let anyone close to me and half the time I recount all the bad they caused me and it feels like half of me is justified. Like you, I feel so incredibly alone. It makes me go even more crazy and sends me into depression. I am in the midwest but I understand not having many people near you to even make new friends and the thought of covering your mental illness to a whole new list of people is terrifying. I get it. Please message me if you'd like. I am here.
