Hello! It's been a long time since I've visited. I see a few familiar faces.
I'm still doing very well. I'm still in a steady relationship and we're both very happy people.
I finally left my dead end job and I'm going to school for a new field.
I'm doing well in it so far and I love learning.
I'm a really different person now. I'm very confident. You can even say I'm a natural leader.
I volunteer, I lead activities in my hobby group and I'm networking with people in my new field. One of my goals is to eventually be an expert and give talks in large conferences. I would really enjoy doing this.
I'm still very introverted but I'm definitely not shy or socially anxious. I'm the opposite. I'm very confident around people. I just don't need attention that way.
In terms of my previous BPD diagnosis, I can very confidently say that I have zero traces of that now.
I'm the opposite. I am never jealous, I don't seek attention. I don't care about rejection at all whether it be socially, romantically through strangers etcetera.
I'm not sure what happened but I choose to believe that I just grew up away from that. I matured. Please don't ever give up if someone gives you a label like BPD.
You can certainly fully recover and thrive.
I never think about suicide now. I'm never depressed, only sad when appropriate and never for longer than a couple of days. I'm never incapacitated or overwhelmed. I deal very well in very stressful situations.
My default mood is always content to happy.
I really hope that my update gives someone out there hope.
I think I'm just a late bloomer.
