Feeling Alone with BPD: Does Anyone Else Struggle with Suicidal Thoughts?

Hi, I'm Patti! I struggle with BPD. I also have co-occurring mental illnesses. I don't know of many people with this condition, which makes me feel really alone. My main symptom is threatening suicide. Does anyone else do this?

Yes and don't realize it. Can't explain what is in my brain to my wife so I express it the wrong way.

I’ll fantasize about me committing it daily and won’t realize it until I actually think about it and I also constantly split on my friends without even realizing it

I understand that. I got diagnosed with bpd last year and I’m trying to find a good therapist. Because some of my emotions I feel like I can’t control or stop and then I spiral and that leads to unhealthy impulsive decisions
