I'm going to dispel some myths.
Firstly, many people with bpd have the schema that they don't belong. Can you think of situations in your childhood when you felt you didn't belong? Situations in your adulthood where you felt you didn't belong? It's a deeply routed feeling. For each situation where you felt you didn't belong, can you think of just one example of where you did belong?
You have found situations that have felt good.
You have found someone who makes you feel good.
Yes, life sure has its share of knocks and trials. But this doesn't last forever.
We move in waves of ups and downs.
Focus on what is good.
The reality is that we are going to get hurt and yes we are going to suffer disappointment.
This is why it is so important to find a good T to work with you to help you with strategies to effectively deal with life's knocks.
Be well and know that there is help available to you.
