Hi Razo, I'm Harmonium.

I appreciate the fact that when you didn't receive the welcome you expected, you asked for it. So....



However, I do see where you did get a response from another thread you began, so that does show that you are not being ignored or anything. People get busy, and sometimes posts get overlooked--it's not personal.

In any case, I'm glad to see that you are here and willing to work towards understanding and healing this disorder. This is a great place to do so, but requires participation on your part. There is a great Tools section to your left that can help you understand some of the twisted thinking that goes along with this disorder as well as some ways to untwist. There are also other helpful tools in that section.

I do hope that you continue to post and I sincerely welcome you to this forum!

Have you had the chance to look at the four agreements yet? If not, it might be helpful to you to do so. There are many tools in that box (your upper left screen) that will be helpful to you.

I can certainly understand why you would have come to that conclusion. However, at least for me, the reason I didn't respond initially had nothing to do with not wishing you a 'welcome'--I just missed the post.

Anyway, I'm glad you're here and hope you will continue to post. I wish you well on your recovery journey!

then i made the assumption that no one was interesting in stopping by to say hello."

So many people feel this way when they first hop aboard this forum. There's the first thing you can feel not alone in. This site is full of lots of insight, and lots of great people who can relate if nothing else. Welcome aboard and hope you find some reprieve through the people you'll meet on here, and the tools the site itself offers. Remember this is a new year, so let's all make some new coping skills. Good luck in your recovery, and don't worry, you don't have to wrap your head around bpd, just accept it and start learning to cope with what you can when you can.

Peace and love!
