Hi @Nell
Welcome to the forums. I'm also a single mum of two kids, aged 5 and 7. I was diagnosed BPD this year as well as a range of other things sigh! Have also felt that devastation.. been working through some things with my psychologist which has been helpful. I get the financial constraints though, things are getting tight here as also trying to pay lawyer through family court... which makes it hard to keep getting the help we need...
I have found the forums to ease some of the lonilness that i feel, though its still difficult to make solid connections in the real world. I've gone back to full time work this year and so I have developed some new friendships and that has helped ease the isolation too.

Hi @Nell and @Former-Member
No i haven't done DBT though i've heard of it through here. I live in the country so there's not many options for a range of different types of therapy but my psychologist is good and has so far put up with me!
I also worry about my kids being affected.. for the same reasons but im working hard to make sure that they are ok... always overthinking everything.
