Answer:There certainly IS hope for you! Of course in your bad times you will feel everything is hopeless.
What you need to do is focus on tiny little steps. Decide what little step you will take first, then keep doing that until you've got it then move onto something else.
Try not to think about work and finding a partner etc. That comes asfter you master all the other difficulties you face. And it WILL come.
Work out what in your illness you can begin to change. It is NOT easy...it will be challenging but it is the only way that you will get to meet your goals. It's important to force yourself.....very important...I can't stress this enough.
Personality disorders can be very varied and so it is difficult to be specific here but you will know the things you need to tackle.
