View Profile Trying to cope with Borderline Personality Disorder and have a normal life and relationship.



One day at a time..
Aug 27 2008

I sent him a text telling him how he had destroyed my feelings for him and that I was done.  I got no response, as expected.

I have to admit, I sort of hoped he would apologize.  I half wanted him to come back saying he had made a mistake.  I wanted him to at least care that he had hurt me.

But, he did not...and he does not.  In reality, I do not want to be faced with the stress and pain that goes with having him as my boyfriend.  I do, however, have borderline personality disorder and have a tough time letting anyone go.  I'm more afraid of abandonment than anything, especially with someone I spent so much time caring about. 

I have spent the past 3 days, when not in school, laying in bed sobbing with the lights turned off.  I deserve so much better than this, and I know it.  I am a smart, pretty, wonderful girl that a lot of guys would love to have a chance with... but it will be so difficult for me to be in another relationship after this.  I have never been in love before, and he was the first person I truly felt like I could spend my life with (if only he would love me consistently, which he would not).  It will be hard for anyone to take his place, in my mind.  We were so compatible, aside from his issues that destroyed us.  

So here I am, laying in the dark crying, feeling completely hopeless about ever falling in love for real.  I want someone to come fix me, to heal the pain this jackass has caused me...but I know no one can help me but myself.  I just cannot wait for this pain to end.

Just keep being yourself. A smart, pretty, and wonderful girl and you will get what you deserve before you know it.

You CANNOT allow his sickness to make YOU sick. Do as much grieving as you need to, then get your ass out of bed and take your life back.

That being said, I want to let you know that I can totally relate to the whole "nobody else can compare to him" thing. Toots, you will find yourself very lonely and ultimately frustrated if you compare EVERY guy you date to him. I'm speaking from experience here... I know that other guys won't respond to your humor the way he would, and they won't read your mind like he does, they also won't touch your hand in the same way he does, right? Of course they won't because THEY ARE NOT HIM!!! Once you allow another man to know you, you'll develop your own unique connection with that person. And then nobody will compare to the new guy. You will have different chemistry with EVERYONE you date... Having a different connection doesn't have to mean having an UNFULFILLING connection. Granted, this will take time. You need to do a little wound licking, I know. But don't give up on your search for a soulmate just yet. You know, it's entirely within the realm of possibility that you may meet a new guy who BLOWS THE CURRENT JACKASS AWAY!!!!!
Words of wisdom, thank you guys :)

I truly appreciate the comments everyone has left me! It's only been a few days since "D-Day", but I am already feeling so much better and my outlook on life has improved drastically.
Kim, I had never thought about it that way. I did keep thinking that it would never feel the same to be with anyone else...and wow, that's true, it won't! But thank you for showing me that though it may not be the same, I can have a unique and even more wonderful connection with someone else someday. He's not the standard by which I should judge all future potential mates. Obviously, I can do better than someone who manipulates and hurts me...and the good bits about what we had aren't even close to enough to make up for the bad.

Thank you all again!!
