Re: Raising Awareness of BPD - Flipping the Script
Oh @Netty78 ,
I, too, hate that feeling. It's like the more you want people around you, the more you push people away. You've gone one step further than I have ever been - you've written apologies.
It's okay that they haven't replied (yet). Sometimes, if they really are hurt, it takes time. Other than that, they could just be bogged down, busy. I only when I receive msgs/notes that have depth, I never send a quick response. Deep msgs need to be digested, and perhaps a deep msg in response.
One essential skill for pwBPD to learn and practise is OPEN COMMUNICATION. If we are open in our communication, we soon realise that others tend to reciprocate this. It took a lot of therapy work for me to learn the skill of open communication. I used to bottle everything up and the result was often disastrous.
Although things are so tough at this point, I'm here with you, riding out the emotional weather. Things will shift - I promise.
Hugs,
BPDSurvivor

Re: Raising Awareness of BPD - Flipping the Script
Hi @Netty78 ,
Im sorry to hear things are so tough.
Im all ears if there's anything you'd like to share, ask, vent. I know it's different having someone face to face, but perhaps I can support you in some way?
Hold on tight my dear friend.

Re: Raising Awareness of BPD - Flipping the Script
Hi @Netty78 ,
Im glad you are seeing your psychiatrist today. It'll be good to also remember that from a BPD perspective, medication supports the insomnia, anxiety, depression that may come with BPD. However, tackling BPD itself requires intense, lengthy talking therapies. These therapies focus on changing the way we think about things, and hence takes time.
Antidepressants (for my depression) played a crucial role in my recovery so that I was well enough to handle the talking therapy.
Let me know how you go. All the best,
BPDSurvivor
