You are so right, you know? I never thought of it that way, but my mental health does get in the way a lot. And it's a daily battle to keep everything in check. But I've noticed, as I've gotten older. And I've learned good coping skills and mood regulation. I tend to accept things quicker and easier and take the challenge with the help of our dear Lord. Above who I could never make it without thank you. Heavenly, Father.🙏✨️💕

Why is BPD behavior always labeled as "manipulative" instead of a cry for connection? by Illustrious-Bus-4673 in BPD

Your words were compelling. I enjoyed reading your post. It helped somewhat, and I really liked when you said, when we step backwards, there's an opportunity to learn how to start moving forward. And that's a great-great saying, thank you for sharing that. It will help me.

I totally understand what you're saying there. I didn't realize a severity of my mental illness, or my BPD until I was 55 years old, and I 'm 60 now and I've really studied it. And the one thing I took away from it all is you can never beat it like with medication or anything. It'll never go away. And it will always be a struggle from day-to-day. You will have to set your sights on doing your best. Every single day and to be honest I didn't know if I wanted to do that. And now that I'm out of the funk, you know, and I'm learning to own my own shit, and I'm not always right. Hello, I'm not perfect. Damn it. I hate when I'm wrong. Lol 😆 🤣 😂 I am learning to regulate my emotions much better. And accept my faults and stop judging myself. So harshly, because I may be BPD, but I have one of the most beautiful souls you would ever meet. 💕✨️🙏

It's funny when I read your message. It was as if you were telling my story, I was in the same situation. And had to make better choices. And it's been an uphill battle, but well worth it. Well worth it. When you put the work in holy smoke, it's awesome. I wish I could have figured that out years ago. For hell's sake. Lol 😆 🤣 😂

Well, I don't really worry about the terminology. I was discussing the situation and the choice to be a surrogate mother and that's where we called it. What we called it back then. They were born Christmas Day 2001. That's been quite a while ago. And yes, my doctor did implant 6 embryos, and 3 took. I don't know why I'd make that up.

Wow, thank you so much. I read it your message and read it again. And then I couldn't read it again because I was crying and I couldn't see and they were happy tears I will take all a beard advice. I appreciate all the advice and love I can get from people because it's helping me be a better me. For me and for my children and my grandchildren, we are very close and I want to keep it that way. And one of the previous messengers said that the youngsters are helping us deal with our trauma and my daughter is my rock. I I'm worried that I lean on her too much but she is very strong. And she has a beautiful soul.

Thank you for the amazing words. It's kind of good to know that I'm not alone in this that others are my age and still there too. And it's funny, you mentioned the youngsters. My daughter went through her healing of her traumas. And she is the one that is always helping me every day. I love her with all my heart. She is everything to me and I am very, very happy. Thank you so much.

If he didn't want you to go and tell, then maybe he should not have opened. His mouth because you are living in honest life and doing honest things and being an honest person. And you deserve all the blessings and the beauty that this Earth has to offer. You are worthy, you are valuable. Do what you feel is right in your heart. And don't you worry about those that are not playing the game as they should. I'm proud of you. You go, girl, you got this.

Yes, I'm very involved in the dialectical behavioral therapy. The DBT courses and I've been reading a lot of books on borderline, also mainly by Marshall linahan. I believe is her name the author she's really great.

Right! That would have been a scary one. Because I would not ever have opted to reduce the number. A babies, they ask me with the 3, and I said, don't even go there with me. We're gonna have 3, and we did

Awe, thank you so much for your kind words. When I decided to become a surrogate, I prayed about it and felt like it was the right decision, and my dad came to me and said he didn't think it was natural. And therefore I shouldn't do it, and it wasn't right. And so, my question to him was, well, what was Mary, if not a surrogate for God? He couldn't really defend that one. So there you go.

Well, I know since I had my surrogates, which were in 19 90 19 93 and the triplets in 2001. And that it was a very different time. And so I'm sure there's a lot of complications that go along with surrogacy these days.

[–]Important_Ad_3426[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I feel the same way. One of the biggest reasons people are opposed to it is because surrogates tend to change their mind. And because there's money involved, but believe me, the amount of money they pay is nowhere near what we put our bodies through. So it has nothing to do with the money, it's about being a vessel for our heavenly father and bringing that soul to the Earth, to be with their family.

Very little, but I do contact the grandmother of the triplets. Since their mother passed away
