What are some healthy rituals that you have helped you in the past? You may want to write a list of the positive things you have to look forward to; express your pain through poetry or art- just get it out of your system and let it on the page; maybe a letter to your 11 year old self letting her know that you fought some battles & continue to battle- but that you're stronger now.
unfortunately, I had to cut out of a friend who has borderline- may be bipolar as well- and she was trying to drag me down with her. I hit my breaking point. While I wish that she would get better, I've accepted that she doesn't want to try. Since then- my moods have really stabilized.
unfortunately there aren't any shortcuts. hope you take care of yourself.

Yea I been feeling I need to that. I feel really bad doing it but it's going to keep getting worse. She's such a great person but it's typical borderline I can't be around. It's erratic love hate I'm a savior then I'm a jerk. Now I'm dealing with my our stuff, which I don't blame her for it was bound to come at me at some point, and I can't deal with added stress.
I do a lot of writing so that's where I'm at now with it. Maybe therapy. I been seeing my psychiatrist for like 8 years and she doesn't know. She gives me therapy once a month but I will probably need something more intensive. Thank you for your advice.
