Hi. To some degree on a spectrum, it is helpful to feel attachment and trust towards their therapist. On the one end of the spectrum, some may not attach or trust at all. In the middle is healthy attachment and trust. On the polar end becomes an attachment so deep we are almost unable to function without their support.

Some with bpd can experience a high degree of attachment with their T, which can interfere with day to day functioning.

I think you're tackling this with the right approach. You are looking for suggestions for things to do that will meaningfully occupy you in between sessions.

Nothing wrong with reading forums. Can you download books on your device if you like reading? I'm reading bpd for dummies that I downloaded on my iPad - the names just a title in the series. It gives me a lot of aha moments. Have you tried journaling your thoughts?

If you discuss this with your T, maybe the two of you could sit down and come up with some suggestions together through brainstorming.

I think my situation might be different to yours on the weekend? I'm busy running around with my husband and kids.

Be well and know that there is a solution for you.
