LIVE CHAT: BPD for Friends, Family and Carers - This Sunday 3rd October 7:00-8:30pm AEDT

LIVE CHAT: BPD for Friends, Family and Carers - This Sunday 3rd October 7:00-8:30pm AEDT

Dear Friends, Family, Carers, and Loved Ones affected by BPD,

A very warm welcome to a LIVE CHAT right here on Sunday 3rd October 2021 7:00pm-8:30pm to discuss some of the challenges you face as you interact with someone with BPD.

A diagnosis of BPD raises many questions.

As someone with lived experience of BPD, I'd like to:

1. Share some of the things that have worked for me

2. Share some of the things that have proved more harm than good (even though it was done with all good intentions)

3. Answer any questions you may have

4. Share BPD resources

In the meantime, if you have any questions surrounding BPD, you can post it here so we can endeavour to answer it on the night.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Hi @Hibiscus1 . As you browsed through this discussion, I hope some of the content helped so that you understand BPD a little more. Trying to get into the mind of a borderline can be quite tricky!

Hi and thanks 🙏🏼 for reaching out it’s appreciated 💕

oooh I wouldn’t try and get into their minds 😉, I see the pain they suffer 😔

We’ve almost finished reading the walking on egg shells book, really helpful. And I’ve read lots on the Australian websites.

it’s tricky !!!! Our situation is very unique.

My query at the moment is - boundaries. When I read and see the quite extreme boundaries people set I feel very confused. Like - no txts after midnight and no physical violence ….. geez. Seems a low bar???

I think 🤔- showers and hygiene are important. I think exercise and screen time limits matter. But 🤷‍♂️ at least he’s safe.

I’m learning. Hoping for DBT program in the next few months.

He doesn’t seem to have much knowledge about BPD, and doesn’t want any … I guess this is normal.

we try to focus on life - and absolutely are not making this our ‘project’. But gee it’s hard. He’s been with us 2 weeks this time and has has 3 crisis’s. These have impact. 😔
