Hey guys, I recently got diagnosed with BPD. For a while, I've struggled to form and maintain friendships and I wondered if anyone had any tips. I'm in Melbourne, Aus and I was wondering if there are any groups for people with BPD or activities to get involved in?

Hey @BP1 ,
Welcome! I have BPD. I was diagnosed many moons ago. It's been a rough but incredible journey over the years, and one that's brought me here 🙂

That's really good to hear @BP1 . What's been happening for you on your side of the world?
There was a mini tornado on my side of the world two days ago.
Lately, I've been working on building things out of 3D mini blocks. I made a basketball... it's been a good past time.
I've also been reading a range of different books 🙂
Hope you've been well!
