How has your BPD effect your relationships with other people?

To be really honest it's affected them badly I think. I really hate to admit it, but I guess admitting it is the first step. I will do anything for my friends and family, anything. But then I give too much of myself. What I give is often considered the status quo and becomes expected from me. I grow resentful that I am not appreciated, that they won't go that extra mile for me too, even though it was my choice to do the things I did for them. I get paranoid that they don't like me. I draw myself away from people and start feeling isolated. I grow angry and keep it all simmering below the surface. And then a small thing happens and I blow up. I stop being around people because I want to give my all, but know that I can't handle the repercussions of giving my all. I guess in summary I don't know how to have healthy relationships with other people. :-( I really do hope it's not too late to try and learn, hopefully through my CBT.
