I’m not sure if I’m using the right terminology, but how can I detach without losing any love? I find myself needing people so much that it deeply affects my mental state, which is closer to BPD.

I’ve made significant progress since last year. I’m pleased to say that I’ve learned to control my thoughts and actions. I’m still working on it, but I’m getting there. For instance, I have experienced instances where I have felt a rage episode or lost in a trance-like state. I have experienced some intense self-destructive thoughts and behaviors in the past, but I have always been able to recognize them as such and choose not to act on them.

I would like to learn how to be less dependent on others, or at least to be less affected by it, so that it doesn’t have a negative impact on my mental health or those close to me.
