I do not believe that, for me, it is about BPD per se but more about those core beliefs that therapy tries to change (I mentioned this way back in another post). For me, they simply aren't changing. I grew up thinking I was worthless, unlovable, etc, etc, and I don't know how to change that when I feel those beliefs being validated nearly every day of my life. How exactly is therapy going to change that?

Oh my

So sorry you feel this way about yourself.

I fear that they wont be able to change my core beliefs about myself either. If you were near me I would give you a huge hug

I also feel validated in my own beliefs often but it's all about perception and you have to try and hold on to the thought that you don't perceive yourself as you should and because of that you will see everything in a different way and not seeing what really is in front of you. You come across lovely, that's all I know. I think you should know it too
