Have any BPD people found a way to survive and thrive?

I have a plan and will CTB tomorrow after saying bye to my therapist.

My wife of 14 years left me 17 days ago and the pain remains just as intense as on day 1. Nothing I do changes this and I cannot imagine my life without her. I don't have a good relationship with my family and I have to move back home to a city where I know no one and start from scratch with everything in my life. I can't see how this is possible. This is just too difficult and too painful.

I am convinced that CTB is the best thing for me as there is no way I can get through this.

To demonstrate this, I thought I'd ask this question. Has anyone with BPD made it? Have you figured out how to live a happy life free from the need to be with one person and stable enough to function and have solid social relationships? Is anyone with BPD happy?

it doesnt happen overnight so the chances of a direct, yes, is really slim. however, im a lot happier than i use to be. as far as me personally, yeah im happy, im fine. any problem i have comes from external assholes that anyone with or without disorders would have to deal with, so to say im not happy because of others i dont feel is fair to the question. as far as myself is concerned, yes im happy and working towards it more each day.

It really helps for me to make a comfortable space for myself. I try to fill my day with things that give my life a little bit of hope. When I was at my lowest, practicing hobbies really helped me. Even if it's really tiring, try to find ways to simplify the hobby.
