Topic Tuesday // BPD Awareness Week 2021 – Discover Creative Wellbeing // Tues 5th October, 7pm-8:30pm AEDT

Hi SANE community!

The 1st to 7th of October 7th, 2021 is Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness week. In line with this year’s BPD Awareness week’s theme on Discover Creative Wellbeing, this fortnights Topic Tuesday will be building upon last years campaign which identified gaps in treatment programs for those living with BPD and will be discussing creative ways, outside of traditional therapy, to promote wellbeing for those living with BPD and supporting their recovery. Our special guests will include DBT clinician from NEABPD Family Connections and our community guide, @BPDSurvivor!

This year's campaign has a 3-pronged approach that looks to address gaps for people experiencing the symptoms of BPD, for supporters/carers/families of people living with BPD and for those working professionally with people living with BPD; and asks us to think outside the box in terms of treatment practices, methods and recovery.

Please join us here on Tuesday 5th October 2021 from 7:00pm-8:30pm AEST to discover and discuss about creative ways to support the wellbeing of those living with BPD.

Question 6.

Getting involved in the events during BPD Awareness Week is a great way to start! Due to current restrictions, many of these art, yoga, and meditation events are being held online – seize the opportunity!

Carers and loved ones, take time to listen to yourself and your loved one with BPD. What is something you both love to do? Listen with your heart and not your head – go for it and do what you both love doing. This is a fantastic start.

@Scarlet72 , well... i guess psychiatrists generally handle medication... BPD is not med-reliant. Was he out of his depth? LOL

In response to question 6, I'd love to be able to write about the good things a pwBPD has and can contribute to society as a whole. Things like how being passionate can be a good thing and how a person can learn resilience and boundaries as well as being a loving, loyal, friendly person as well. I see myself as a mix of Beauty and The Beast (my favourite Disney movie!) and I believe all people with BPD are good people if you just get to know them and realise they are just like you, except they feel things very deeply. I know there is more to life than just black white and I just want people to understand that I'm trying to see the grey in the situation- it just takes me a bit more time to see it, that's all!
