Looking for some advice on building a strong sense of self with borderline personality disorder.
And maybe some insight as to why I feel so alone and worthless without others making me feel better.
Cheers

Sure is @Nandez
That's totally 'normal'.
What I learnt is that as part of evolution, the human mind was made to be more alert when the sun went down. Why? To survive.
If they weren't alert in the evening, the predators would come.
Hence our evolutionary mind is more alert and tends to catastrophise in the evening.
This is all in layman's terms. But this is how I learnt to understand how my mind worked in the evening and it brought with it validation.
Moving on, every night, I followed mindfulness programs on the Smiling Mind app. I found this really helped to slow things down.
