Thank you so much for sharing this. I feel the weight in your words—and I want you to know you’re not alone in that heavy, shapeless kind of ache. BPD can make everything feel too much and not enough at the same time. That feeling that something might explode... I know it well.

I’m really sorry you're in such a low right now. It takes strength to put words to it. And even though it might not feel like it, the fact that you haven’t let it explode shows just how much strength you’re carrying.

You don’t have to cry for it to be real. And even if you feel like you “don’t know anymore,” the part of you that reached out—that still wants to hold on—is proof that you’re still here, still fighting. I see you.

I’m so glad the post helped even a little. Sending you softness, clarity, and the tiniest bit of peace, even if it’s just for tonight.

Take care 🖤

BPD is difficult to live with, but remember it is only a description of symptoms.  Don't let a diagnosis define you. I was diagnosed with it 26 years ago. It took a long time for me to learn ways of self-regulating my emotions. DBT and CBT are amazing if you can find groups! I also joined a 12-step group (Celebrate Recovery) for a one year study for co-dependency.  (I prolly need that one again!).

In all these therapies, I learned that I was born very sensitive (biology) and I was raised in a home where I my sensitivity was not valued (environment). This means that as an adult, I need to love myself and learn to meet my own needs in order to self-regulate and break the negative coping skills I learned growing up. Sounds simple, but is in fact incredibly difficult! 

The Serenity Prayer helps me the most on tough days.

God (or your Higher Power of Choice), grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.  

Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace.

 

There's more, but it's faith based and I want to be respectful.  

 

You are more, so much more than your diagnosis!
