Hey Everyone,

I still do the worksheets, I have actually helped others with BPD navigate their symptoms (I am working to become a Clinical Psychologist), and I have gotten many types adn rounds of therapy.

When it coems to generally managing symptoms, I feel confident. However with the extremes of depression and anger especially, I go through all the strategies and I'm left with "now what?"

There is always that residual depressin or anger and although it doesn't show and affect my work or social life, the feelings don't go away. I don't know what more to do. I do take an SNRI to manage my depression and without it I become highly likely to unalive. I take it with a CBD capsule (legal in Canada) to quiet my thoughts.

Everything in my life is so perfect. I have my dream dog, a partner I can't ask for better and we are getting married, I go to KCL, and I am now the Executive Director of a new nonprofit. Yet, I can't shake the depression/depressive waves. My mentality is positive and I'm objectively happy about everything in my life...except I'm not. I don't know how to manage it further.

Hi @Star666

Good on you for helping others... that's wonderful...

A friend of mine does kickboxing and finds it helps her tremendously. Would you consider doing something like that to get out the anger and to boost your morale and endorphins? maybe that would help? What do you think?
