It's been a while since I've been here. Things look a little different. Why I am here now is I'm a little overwhelmed. Still working on mom's estate settlement, will be needing major dental work soon, diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a month ago, caught me completely off guard, and I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, another shock. I noticed the new diagnoses on my medical records at the VA and no one has even mentioned it. smh

You have had some shocks.

I am bipolar and borderline was added. But after lots of therapy, the borderline was removed. Bipolar and borderline can go together.

If you are overweight, then diabetes 2 is more common.

Welcome back. You’ve a lot on your plate. My oldest sister was in charge of mum’s estate and she is healthy with great support from her husband. She found that very challenging and tough.

The health stuff is challenging on its own. Hugs.

Maybe you have C-PTSD which has some aspects which are found in BPD.

So sorry you are feeling overwhelmed.

I do several John Davisi guided meditations. I find them helpful. Here are a couple:
