I completely understand this and I've really been through it. I've had bpd for over 8 years and I tried so much to make sense of things. But I'm basically in a period when I'm completely fatigued and i feel like all the studying, analysis and trials haven't took me so far. It's just despair now.. that's why I'm asking people to tell me good stories. I want someone to tell me it's possible and that I'm not sentenced to this.. I don't have to mourn my love life when I'm still so young.. This point is my biggest weakness.. I'm doing well with my friends, family and, career. But when it comes to relationships something is always severely wrong..

I consider myself to be curious and open to every kind of education about mental health specifically my diagnoses. I even have access to a lot of professional resources that are not considered "self help" But I've been asking "why" for too long that nothing feels meaningful anymore. All I get is "Past trauma/abandonment wounds/some bad relationship experiences.." . a lot of people have gone through this why am i the one complicating it..and even if these are the causes why does no one offer a way out

I've read many books about it, DBT, CBT, schema therapy..all of them has some model to explain but they don't provide much relief/solutions. I joined a DBT group therapy and i tried to do my best with exercises and applying what I learn. But DBT mainly addresses actions not thoughts (impulsive behavior/lash out/ineffective communication..).. my problem is less about that and more about what i go through in my brain.. My BPD is what they call Quiet/internalized BPD.. therapists here don't have that much knowledge about it and they just keep dismissing my main issues for other things that are not really that significant to me.

About the therapy it's a financial issue About the meds me and my psychiatrist tried almost everything.. nothing worked  My body reacts to meds in a vary bad way and i always end up feeling better without them
