But I do want to work on it all too, and manage to have stable friendships and do well in college for once, I just don't really know how, and my therapist isn't really too helpful. Does anyone have any advice, or things you wish you knew when you were first diagnosed?
Thanks!  |
i wish i knew earlier, much earlier i feel so much better now because i understand my impulses and urges & why i did the things i did and feel they way i do now, it's much easier to regulate my emotions, when i feel myself sliding out of control i say to myself " must be my BPD acting up again let me calm down" that helps me a lot, i still have my mood swings and everything else but i feel like i have much more control over myself now. for me finding out what was wrong was one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time, hope this helps
