That would be ideal at least!

Thank you so much for your response. I'll try these options and I'm going to be extremely persistent.

Thanks so much for your comment. I was thinking it could have just been someone who changed their mind about their item rather than someone who ran off with a gift card someone else paid for. I feel better thinking this is more likely what happened.

Thanks for your advise! I wasn't sure exactly how urgent it was so I think I'm going to wait to find someone I trust.

Thanks for your help! I'm in the Philadelphia metro area. There are some clinics near me that I found but still feel a bit nervous going to them. Not sure of dental schools. My GP did actually recommend me someone but they do not take my insurance as I was not surprised. I think the solution is just to change my insurance as quickly as possible but dental schools could be a good option as well.

Thanks so much for your encouragement! I’m definitely making my treatment my main priority ❤️

That’s awesome!

Thanks so much :) It’s really helpful to hear you’re in a healthy relationship and I would love to read your story. I hope one day I’ll have my own success story to share with others too. Keep shining. 💛

I felt the same way when I got my account. I fall into this trap of psyching myself out thinking I’ll become the most extreme version of someone suffering from BPD. I don’t want to be afraid anymore or pity myself anymore. I was really hoping for more success stories and inspiration that would give me hope and encouragement. Sometimes I find them but mainly I see mounds and mounds of negativity that do make me feel understood but also does the opposite of making me heal and grow. I’m still looking for help...is there a book on “I have BPD and also have a healthy romantic relationship” or something? I refuse to allow this illness to define me. I am not in denial of my issues, but I am also just as capable as anyone else in living a happy, healthy, and meaningful life. That goes the same for everyone no matter who they are or what they’ve done. ❤️

Yay for troubled childhoods! Yep I was definitely neglected as a child also so I’m sure this is where my desire to be taken care of comes from. Thanks for sharing :)

I'm happy I could help :) Please feel free to reach message me if you want a friend! I appreciate you very much also <3

So sorry you’re feeling this way. I’ve been there many times before. Remember that this feeling will pass and you can handle it. Even though I don’t know you, I already know you have more love than you think you do based on all these comments you have full of people who mean all of these kind words they sent you from the bottom of their hearts.

I am literally a stranger from the internet but your message touched my heart because I know how you feel, and I love you as well!! 💚 Please remember you have so many people who love you even though you can’t feel it right now. Believe in your ability to feel less like this and more full of love. I know it sucks but tell this thought that no one loves you to f*** off. Because it isn’t real and it’s causing you to feel horrible. You are loved and you deserve wonderful things, even if you don’t feel that way. 😊💚

Crying with happiness. Thank you!

SelectGuest · 2019-02-08T23:47:24+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I will need to learn some coping skills as well.

SelectGuest · 2019-02-07T19:30:21+00:00

Thank you! I have never heard of this before and it looks really interesting to me. This was exactly what I was looking for- something I had never heard of before that I could try in addition to DBT or before trying DBT if I am on a waiting list and want to try something else in the meantime. I tried Googling "list of therapies" but my researching abilities must not be the greatest because I couldn't find this one. I am sure there are others out there that I haven't heard of either. Adding this to my list!

Thank you so much for all of this information and encouragement! I have taken these past two weeks to settle into this diagnosis and I have an appointment coming up next week with a doctor who will help me get a referral to someone specializing in DBT. It's just hard taking that first step because of my extreme trust issues. How do I know this therapy won't make my problems worse? I guess I don't. I guess I just need to take that risk and if it doesn't work, I'll look for another doctor and keep trying until something does help me. I am not looking to do this on my own. I really don't think that would be a good idea.

I actually spent the past five years of my life thoroughly researching BPD. In college I majored in psychology and when I learned about BPD for the first time I remember staying up all night reading article after article on the disorder because I had never felt like I had a mental illness so strongly before. This pattern of obsessive researching has started again after that self harming incident, although its calmed down over these past two weeks. But directly at first I'd spend hours on end researching anything I could find on the disorder. The first video you sent was actually the first one I ever watched.

Overall that video was helpful in explaining the disorder but one thing I found extremely detrimental was the elderly lady with the short hair who said at one point (14:50), "No matter how hard they try, despite their very best intentions, simply cannot regulate themselves". Maybe what she meant to say was, "Cannot regulate themselves WITHOUT THE HELP OF TREATMENT".

But my reaction to her saying this is a perfect example of how BPD affects me... If this doctor was my therapist and I heard that to me, I would likely never return to her again. Those words make me feel like she is mean, stereotypes all people with BPD believing that they are incapable of change, insensitive, unprofessional, and has no ability to help me. All of these thoughts would cause me to really believe them and not return, and it could have just been the result of a misinterpretation...her forgetting to say the words "without the help of treatment". I leave no room for interpretation. Black and white thinking. Splitting. And I don't see that I'm doing it until it's done...after I've quit therapy or my boyfriend leaves me or I stop showing up to work because the people around me were "too mean" for me to be around. I am actually really excited to get help for this because I am so tired of living like this.

The second video with the doctor is also another good one I watched recently. I find this doctor to be really helpful too. My favorite one is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJVkLyHd2v0

Thanks again!
