The key to the door you are seeking is within you. Β You just have to believe it and be willing to use it. Β It takes courage and strength, and with time, you can learn to Stop Sabotaging.
One of the greatest causes of human suffering is believing that we cannot tolerate being alone. Β For many people with BPD, feeling alone creates an incredible amount of distress and sorrow. Β Even the mere prospect of being alone can cause us to feel triggered.
