Today we are reminded to ask "are you ok?"
So - are you?
Today I'm marvellous. I'm smiling. I am however, reminded of some dark days in my past. No one asked if I was ok. I still made it. I had no one in my life I could completely lose it with and open up. Now I do. I never thought it would be possible.
There was also no imperfect mum forum. This forum has helped :)
If you're not ok I hope you have someone you can open up to xx
Are you ok?

Nope, I'm not ok. Suffering from BPD and trying to resist the urge to self harm. I'm trying to get better for my kids and husband because I hate myself so I can't do it for me.
My best friend has BPD. I love her. I can't even explain the empty place that would be left behind if she wasn't there anymore.
People love you too.
Your kids deserve you and so does your husband. I hope soon you will feel deserving yourself.
I have BPD as well. I was at the stage of self harm when my shrink gave me the audio dummies guide to Congnative behaviour therapy (CBT). It took me a while to wrap my head around it but it really did help, I am 3.5 years now with no self harm.. I also picked up tricks from delectable(?) behaviour therapy (DBT) that uses ice to distract you from the emotional pain you are feeling so you don't self harm as a way of feeling it. I know what you are going through, you are not alone in the emotional turmoil struggle of self control.
No, but I will be!
This really makes me feel hopeful, I have been on the brink of suicide since I fell pregnant with my last baby (he is nearly 3) I have no one I can trust enough to tell because when I first felt like this I did reach out to my estranged mother and she rejected me! I have 5 kids and a husband and I'm scared to be alone for fear I will do something.........I don't feel like anyone will take me seriously or if they do my babies will be taken from me :( Maybe one day I will be in the place you are HOPEFULLY ♡
