Hi, I live alone, not through choice but through a series of events. I have no friends, sad I know but the mention of Borderline makes people run for the hills. I am looking for a person who wants to chat or email. A person who likes:-
Cat's or dogs
Gardening
Art and craft
Dance
I think my Psychologist is barking up the wrong tree. I won't be disappointed if no one responds but it will keep the Psychologist happy.

Hi there!
I love dogs a bit more than cats. I love my house plant babies and I feel pretty lonely sometimes. I find it hard to make friends and keep them. Maybe we can be friends or at least chat. I cannot dance but I love music and will sing you songs to dance to. Take care x

Hi @Snoopy56 and All reading,
I have just been reading this thread and find so much I can relate to, including BPD, being new here, being technologically challenged, finding it hard keeping friends, having trust issues and feeling like everyone you meet in the real worlld wants to hurt you somehow!
Regarding your painting Snoopy56, can you just have a play around with your paints. Tell yourslef you will paint for 15 mintes and see what you come up with. Then increase that time another day.
I like to paint and have been told a 3 year old could paint better. I tell myself that is okay, it is the process I enjoy. Even finger painting can be enjoyable!
Regarding knitting and crocheting left handed, I believe you could find youtube examples to teach you.
I like watching craft clips, I feel inspired even if I don't proceed to make anything. I have been in a slump lately too so will try some little projects to hopefully feel compelled to try something else.
There are some really lovely people responding here! I feel better within myslef just by reading what people have written.
Ups and downs are part of life, hope you can find some moments of inspiration for your various crafts.
