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.

@Scarlet72

That's an interesting idea - BPD being like bipolar but in fast forward.... I'd never thought about that! 🙂

I guess in some manias (not all, some are just horrible and you don't think this at all) you feel like the king of the world - like everything you say is fascinating and you are gorgeous and ever so smart. (Like I said that definitely doesn't happen for every manic episode and some people with bipolar never have a mania that feels as egoic as that)

I don't think my friend who experiences BPD experiences that side of it all - please correct me if I am wrong about the way people experience BPD..... because everyone is so different 🌼
