Dealing with break up and addiction any bpd people here?

Having a hard time with handling my feelings over separating with my ex and using my addiction to cope with the feelings. I have bpd i know that’s probably making me feel way worse. Anyone have any similar success stories they’ve been through and are on the other side? Or anyone in the same situation and can relate? I have family but it doesn’t make the lonely times any better. We were together 8 years and it’s been 4 months since he left me. I was in an addiction pretty bad before we broke up. I’ve been better with it but still have my struggles. When does it get better

I can relate…I just got out of a 7 yr relationship about 2 months ago n to be honest I miss her…I’ve fked up every relationship I’ve had because of my drug use…eventually you’ll just stop thinking about them n move on

I was with my 2nd husband for 8 years as well. I was diagnosed with bpd during the relationship. I started therapy before I kicked him out, therapist and psychologist believe I was misdiagnosed due to dealing with a narcissist. I am off bpd meds and it does get better. Grieving the loss of a relationship is similar to any other grief. Give yourself time. It will get better, much, much better. :blossom:
