It's nice that someone out there understands, when I feel alone right now.
I love the concept of changing the way I say things, not that I wish to be a copycat. I think this technique will really help me come to terms with my BPD and hopefully see the world in a better light.
I am emotionally unstable at the moment, but hoping I will slowly calm down and get back to me. I am certainly going to practise what you said, as obviously, what I am doing is not working right now.
I too, can really resonate with the tendency to think the worst in practically all situations.
I have had that feeling when someone doesn't phone you back. I know deep down you have to question/analyse it a different way and look the bigger picture. After all, agreeing with you, there could be many reasons why the person didn't call back.
I am going to really work on my behaviour with your precious advice. If I can pull it off with perseverance, you have convinced me I am capable of thinking healthier.
Luckily, after going to therapy yesterday I have arranged for some Clinical Psychological Therapy. It is with a Male psychologist (for the first time ever!) and hopefully he can give me his perspective on how I behave in my marriage and help me to control it so I don't keep pushing my husband away.
Thanks so much again, I can tell you are a kind, special person. x

I am glad I was able to offer you something that you believe may help. I do not consider it "being a copycat" for you to do the things I mentioned - I consider it as being someone who.wants to try anything they can in an effort to live s happier life. ❤
I am glad you have taken initiative in the type of counseling you are getting as well.
We are our own best advocates. Nobody except you knows what works best for you. Docs know what a book says - but you are a unique person not dictated by what a book.says - so you may or may not fall into the guidelines the book describes. That's why it's important you tell the doc if something they are doing is either not helping or is making things worse. It is just as important you feel heard and that you see the dic trying to work with you- not dictate to you how you "must feel" or focusing solely on their own personal lives.
You are a kind and caring person also.
When I first came to read this - I was in a bad mood. You helped me smile.
Thank you. ❤
