Lack of Motivation and Social Withdrawal
It's been a year since I have been on and off with therapy after my breakup. Initial diagnosis said I had Borderline Personality traits. Now most part of the anxiety and mood swings are gone. But I have slipped into a phase of low motivation or low enthusiasm. Everything seems futile or meaningless. All I am doing is waiting for each day to pass. I am not living. I used to be a social person. Now socialization seems shallow and waste of time. Social situations even leave me anxious sometimes. Is there something you can help me with? Or am I just lazy?
P.S. My family has a history of Schizophrenia.

Well, if we take out the diagnostic jargon (borderline personality traits), all your symptoms are suggestive of ongoing stress & difficulty coping with daily demands of life. All this has happened after facing a traumatic experience (romantic relationship falling apart)
This situation is called as adjustment disorder in psychiatry terms. All you need to do is attend regular therapy/cognitive behaviour therapy sessions & if required (note the word IF) you ll be needing a few days of medications to ride over the crisis. That's it!
Next Steps
avoid thinking about 'Borderline trait' diagnosis. unless it's a 'Borderline personality disorder' diagnosis, you should just focus on your recovery
Health Tips
