I can't

When You Feel Like You Can't Because of mental illness. I can’t. Well, I can’t right now. One day in the future I can; as long as you’re willing to bend and stretch your definition of what “can” is. It’s not that I don’t want to. I can’t overcome it by positive thinking. I can’t “just do it.” I’m not lazy. I’m not making up excuses. I’m not weak. I can’t because I’m the brain that’s swallowed by panic and fear. I can’t because I’m the brain that’s overstimulated and overw

A response to trauma.

We need to treat borderline personality disorder for what it really is – a response to trauma. People with borderline personality disorder are often treated as if they have a personality flaw, rather than mental health issues stemming from trauma. These mental health researchers say it’s time we change the disorder’s name. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a highly stigmatised and misunderstood condition. Australians with BPD face considerable barriers to accessing hig

Embracing The Benefits Of BPD.

Believe it or not, you can embrace the benefits of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Borderline sufferers know the drawbacks of the diagnosis. On top of experiencing the difficult symptoms firsthand, we're also bombarded with BPD stigma, insults, premature judgment and ostracization. Most of what’s written about BPD is negative in nature -- borderline sufferers are portrayed as dangerous, irrational, impulsive, and hopeless. This is not one of those articles. This articl

A good article about BPD.

Not a bad person. I always try to be honest about my mental health. My close friends, family and those who read my blog and Twitter feed are aware of my condition, along with my good days and bad ones too. It’s not an easy conversation to have, but it usually goes one of two ways; Me: “I’ve got something called borderline personality disorder.” Them: “Oh! ...what’s that, then?” Those conversations are always interesting. I tell them that before my diagnosis with borderline

Know the difference. Get ya facts straight.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) has no biases. It happens to both genders, all classes, and all races/ethnicities. In fact, it is widely theorized that beloved people such as Marilyn Monroe had BPD. One of the hardest parts of treating this disease is empathizing with those who struggle with it. Therefore, let’s take a look into what other authors with BPD (kudos to “Border __” the documentary listed below and Carrie-Lynne Davis) have provided in their wisdom an

Intensely.

Heart Feeling Intensely Having a dominant mind, always thinking every moment, yet feelings come intensely and my heart feels them all with no exception. Pain, hurt, loss, suffering, all touch my heart entirely, it never rejects any of the feelings that come into it's being. Incessant and intense, delving into depths of my heart, opening the flood gates, allowing the sluice escape. Ripping, tearing, and wringing feelings and emotions, constantly terrorize this heart.

BPD world. A great independent resource.

I have been using this great website for my research. A good bunch of people run it. A link is below. 🙂 About BPDWORLD BPDWORLD was founded and created by Joshua Cole in March 2003. Joshua felt that there was very little specific support in respect of those with a diagnosis of personality disorder. Not only in the real world but also that of the Internet. Of cause, there were many websites that supported those with the better-known conditions like depression etc but nothing

BPD therapy books. Good ones.

Getting the research in. Educating myself deeper and deeper every day. Becoming more and more mindfull all the time. CBT and DBT skills are helping as is being around a good person. A genuinely good hearted honest soul. Still learning. I thoroughly recommend these books to anyone living with BPD or related issues and to anyone who in a relationship with, related to or living with someone in the grips of this beastly condition. Insight and empathy is everything. 🤣😂 #bpd #eup

That's ... er .... rambling. I revisted a place I needed to rediscover and walk it without any negative distractions and provocations around me. This time I went with my friend Laura and her dog Bazza. We walked deep into the wilds and spent 14 hours exploring, talking, laughing, debating serious stuff, eating monster munch, drinking tea, playing silly buggers with Bazza, letting go of negative stuff, breathing in positive new energy and we both healed a little bit, mentally,
