And plus, I’m really trying to relax more. Getting so stressed about things so much has aged me lol 
But we also talked about serious stuff too, so I don't always joke around.
Isn't that the real question?
Things happen that freak me out that don't freak out other people due to the things that happened to me as a child and the resultant Borderline business.
I'm better with age (cough, cough) as I can catch myself having what I call a "borderline attack" these days.
But still any rejection either real or perceived is so difficult to handle.
I've been in therapy for like ever for this and I don't figure I'll stop until she retires. Therapy I think is key to process and work things out, but not everyone has that option.
Be well.

I wish I could give you a definitive answer but I’m still figuring it out lol.
Some days I feel like I’m managing it better than others but most of the time I’m just so overwhelmed by life.
As plain as it sounds, I just try to take everything step by step and break things down as much as I can in order to help make them not so overwhelming.

Why do people think it's preferable to ghost me, even knowing I have abandonment issues, and it makes it harder to trust people in the future? I'd rather have them tell me the reason, like "Hey I think you're a dumb bitch and I'm done with you", instead of disappearing off the face of the earth and making me wonder why I was never good enough.
That is what's happening but I didn't have the word for it until you wrote that. This person doesn't yell at me but does say things which antagonize. They want something from me but won't come out & say what it is. They apologize for being needy. When I ask them what they need or want they don't respond. I feel like I am drawn into a game which I don't want to play.
Anyway.
Witty; thanks: I think being non-reactive is going to help.

Yeah exactly; it isn't logical or helpful in any way so I get frustrated becauase I can't understand this, I mean their kind of communication.
I've already over done repeating myself so the only step I can take that's any different is, like you said, to not react.
I wish you could be free of being antagonized & yelled at Witty. I'm glad you're here. It's good to hear your voice & wisdom in your words.

I'd been wondering if having both BPD and PTSD meant that I have C-PTSD...and after realizing I have all 17 listed symptoms, I think it's safe to assume that the answer to that is a resounding "Yes".
I've also been having hallucinations, both auditory and visual.
And dissociative symptoms.
I remember writing posts on here about how surprised I was that I didn't have any psychotic symptoms considering everything I'd been through.
"Well, here you go," said Life.
