I understand being afraid of involuntarily committed. Maybe you could try the Samaritans. You can email them from anywhere in the world! It does take up to 24 hours for a response, but just typing out what you're going through may help. https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/

There are also apps where you can talk to people, like 7 Cups.

I'm really not well. I considered getting back to the hospital, but I have uni and I don't want to leave my classes. Also, psychiatry in my country is failing so I wouldn't get a bed anyway. Bpd sucks. Every emotion I feel is just so insane it's literally destroying me.
I am sorry to hear that.  I have heard begore that some areas don't have many psychiatric beds & that patients may have to wait days to get a bed, even when they are in crisis, which is terrible. If you do not think you can stay safe, you may want to try to get a psychiatric bed. Your uni may be able to fax or otherwise send schoolwork to you while you are in the hospital (mine did 10 years ago). Your uni may also allow you to postpone exams & take exams when you get back.

There also may be other treatment options besides the hospital. In my area there are programs that meet 3 hours 3 days a week up to 8 hours 5 days a week  depending on how much support someone needs/wants & what fits in someone's schedule. 
Thank you. I hurt myself today (again) in a way I think is too triggering to name on the forum. I'm having therapy tomorrow and I'll talk about all of this with my therapist. It hurts me to say it but I may have to see my beloved friends and my crush less because they're stressing the f out of me. I have to focus on my wellbeing somehow, but it looks like a damn lonely road

i think that recovery often feels like a very lonely road because of how highly individual it is-- but theres an important difference there, i feel, between something being introspective and being truly alone.

in my own experience, recovery is terrifying because of how much digging into your own brain you really have to do. that FEELS very isolating and very frightening-- it's like getting locked in a room with some really huge, really pissed off wild animal. and having to dig in your own head makes it feel harder to pay attention to what's going on outside of it.

but you also cant heal in isolation. and it's dangerous to even try to! maintaining those boundaries and putting your foot down to focus on yourself is an INVALUABLE life skill-- but humans are social animals, and we're meant to express things to each other. i have to catch myself when i try to really withdraw, because ive realized its just another form of self harm.

recovery is a TOUGH road. an ugly one sometimes too. but i dont think it should be lonely-- humans are built to need help and support from each other. have patience with yourself for hurting and needing recovery time-- the people who love you will have that patience too.

Things are kinda looking up for me :) i dont mean this in a bragging way at all of course, its just that ive been having some AWFUL days these past few weeks. Actually more like this entire month except for valentines day. But its getting better now and im glad! I’m also proud of myself for dealing with certain situations in a way that is healthy for me. TW MENTIONS OF DERMATILLOMANIA/PICKING IN THE NEXT FEW SENTENCES!!! Please don’t look if that is a trigger for you! 

I suffer from dermatillomania, and i often pick my skin to the point of bleeding whenever im having a breakdown or even the slightest form of anxiety... lately i haven’t been doing that much which im also proud of!!! Even when i had bad breakdowns i didnt do it. This is important to me because its just kind of feels like im finally having some sort of sense of control over my “bad habits” yknow? Of course that doesnt make me automatically perfect but like... its progress! And i also often deal with it alone so im proud of being able to handle that on my own. Sorry if this was long, i just wanted to share that ive been doing better since i do often post about how sucky things are for me here (。-∀-)

Today I went in a store for the first time in months, and over an hour away from my house for the first time since August. I had a bit of a panic attack about 25 minutes away from my house but I kept going. The store was really stressful and I almost cried but I made it through and we got everything we needed and I'm really happy I did something. Tomorrow is going to be really stressful again because my mom and I are helping a family friend move furniture into her new house (with masks of course) and I'm really afraid of being in close proximity with someone I'm not familiar with anymore. Tomorrow is also my dads birthday which means I'm gonna have to call him and he's the source of a lot of my anxiety so I hate talking to him. I'm just dreading it. I just can't wait for it to be over with. I'm afraid he's going to guilt me for not seeing him but he is incredibly irresponsible when it comes to covid and I refuse.

Does it have to be a phone call? I have issues with my Mum. Instead of calling on her birthday, I usually send a card or an e-card & that's considered acceptable.

Yes honestly it does, a phone call will probably be barely acceptable. He’s incredibly narcissistic so not only is saying no to him really scary but I have to set my boundary over and over until he gets mad and leaves me alone. He came over in September to give me a birthday present about a month after my birthday and I only agreed to meet with him and his wife outside with masks and he tried to give me a hug and I had to say no over and over and when he finally got angry and shoved my present into my hands and left I went inside and had a huge panic attack and it took 30 minutes for my mom to get me to stop crying. I have things to do today and I’m honestly expecting him to just be like “I’m on my way over” and I’ll have to tell him I’m not at home and I’m just so scared and stressed out. I’m sorry this is long, I just felt a little background was needed.

No need to apologize. This thread should be a safe place to share what is going on in your life. 

I am sorry to hear that your father doesn't understand that he triggers your anxiety.

It’s okay. I hope that someday I can muster enough courage to stand up to him. I’m glad I got to vent a little bit. I just took a nap because I was really anxious last night but it was ruined by an anxiety dream about my dad it’s like I can’t escape.
