Story I have no friends, no girlfriend, and no one to talk to. I am alone.

I want to know how you manage to find people to talk to and have a conversation with. I was diagnosed with BPD over four years ago, and in the last two years I've lost all my friends, my girlfriend, my social life... Basically, for two years I've just been lying in my room crying and lamenting the loss of my close and beloved circle of friends. I feel really lonely. You know when you just want a hug and that's it? Or just a little bit of love? I often feel that way, and guess what? There's no one to comfort me in those moments of loneliness. I regret mixing friendships with my ex-girlfriend. That ruined everything (I don't blame them or her; it was my fault for being an idiot). I'm currently in DBT therapy, and it has been helpful. Next year, I'll go back to college (I dropped out of my last two degrees because of similar problems), but I'm not doing it because I'm really motivated to study or anything like that. I'm doing it because it's what normal people do. When I leave my house to socialize, I get very anxious and feel like I can't communicate well.

I want to read your opinions/advice/stories, etc. about how you managed to form a new social circle after feeling like you lost everyone.

PS: Sorry for my terrible English. It's not my main language. I'm using a translator and a little bit of what I know.

Estoy en una situación similar a la tuya... Tuve un episodio de psicosis y me diagnosticaron trastorno bipolar hace dos años. Perdí mi negocio, mis amigos y todo. :(

Dude, I don't know how I'm still here after almost two years without having been able to rebuild anything. I guess all that's left is to support each other

I have BPD too. Currently in the process of building that up. Joined a local choir - I love to sing and everybody here is super nice, so I'm happy about that!
