I'm a little a loss for words right now, it's not a normal thing for me. : )
Your words about how having BPD has affected you, brought me to tears from relating to the pain and struggle daily. You told a lot of my story.
I don't know how old you are.... I'm thinking you might be a lot younger than I am. I am 63 years old. I was diagnosed with borderline, more than likely, in 1991. I started self harm then, after moving just 2 counties away from home because my ex husband was in the Navy and we were transferred. Although, It is probably the most beautiful city in the U.S.; it's known for mild weather, beaches, and palm trees. I don't live there anymore and that is another story too.
I was a total wreck; I was just 2 years sober from 11 years of alcohol and drug abuse. And I was trying to raise 2 children differently from how I was raised because I never wanted them to feel from me the way my parents made me feel. I was pretty successful to not give my children a personality disorder that I have because my parents didn't know what the hell they were doing. My ex is a different story.
I have stopped following someone because they wrote a seriously inappropriate article about "dealing" with someone who has BPD. It was like how people talk about Narcissistic personality disorder and how destructive it can be for someone to be in a relationship with them.
I'm going to stop here because I could go on and on. It is so nice to have found you. I don't feel so alone anymore.
Hi Martine! Thank you for the complimenting words and for sharing your own experiences 🖤 It is crucial for us all to know we’re not alone and the reminder is always appreciated 🫶🏼
I am currently in my 3rd month of DBT, acquiring skills slower than I’d like, but I’m getting there!
I’m so happy you reached out and am looking forward to our new connection 🖤
You're very welcome!
DBT was a life changer for me. I attended a DBT course over a 4 month period. It was a lot of work and it helped a lot.

Just a question... Have you heard of DBT?
