Hi all

i hope this is where I introduce myself, so I am just going to go ahead. I am a middle aged women who has recently been diagnosed with bpd, I've been in therapy since Feb and was very fortunate to end up with a very talented psychologist who has helped me see myself ? I'm not sure if that makes sense, so I'm on the road to recovery and doing ok, I want to learn all I can about how to think and behave in healthier ways, especially for my husband who has stuck by me thru some very difficult years (decades) , not sure what else to add right now

Thanks @frog a huge shock yes definitely, I am in a fortunate position with my husband and adult children they are my reason to work in therapy, I'm also fortunate to be able to afford all this therapy for myself and we're paying for my daughters therapy as well as she has bpd as well, I so lucked out on this therapist as well, she has been great. I do need to look at these posatives and stop feeling sorry for my self
