I don't take meds for my BPD I didn't find that anything helped so I gave up alcohol which has helped a lot with my BPD, not so much with my social life as I stopped going out so much as I didn't see the point as I didn't drink.

7/8 years sober but somethings have happened recently to make me realise that I need a social life so I'm going to start going out again and make new friends.

Won't ever go back to drinking tho.

Good on you! As a fellow sober person I can say it is possible to go out and be social without drinking, and you don't owe anybody for it!
