I have a diagnosis of dpd and at the moment i am really struggling with distressing thoughts and feelings. Can anyone give me any strategies to help me deal with very strong thoughts of self-condemnation and suicide?

I have a very good mental health worker who is aware of the situation.

I am 40 and went to uni and graduated twice. I had a good career but got very mentally ill and had 3 hospitalisations so im not working but want to. Unfortunately i have been living with my parents for the past year. I have 3 beautiful sons. I have had lots of problems in close relationships. My ex husband was an abusive and aggressive man. I feel like he has destroyed my life. He denies any wrong-doing. I cannot stand it. The distress eats me up and I have to pretend to everyone that I'm ok. But I'm far from ok.
