Feeling... hmmm. Had a great weekend praise be to God! It was like a vacation from everything weighing me down and I got to enjoy the weather, nature and my family!

Yes, I am in therapy. Thanks for the info.

Feeling lonely, VERY TIRED, frustrated, chaotic, VERY Afraid. My new med's are in the cabinet and I can not start until tomorrow morning... Are these the magic ones that will work???? So so so so very afraid... and even more afraid when I know that Fear is the oposite of Faith. ugh, ugh...

Well, I never knew this room really applied to me but I was fooling myself. I must have magically thought that my scratching my arms and hitting myself was something else then "self harm". I have severe fear of abandonment especially by God. When I have an really bad day I become afraid that...

Does anyone know of a place online that you can find actual physical meetings for support of people with BPD? I am really struggling and need help! Thanks!

Ok, so you know that with BPD we tend to have black and white thoughts.. like I am bad and he is good. Someone is always all good and the other is all bad. How come i get so angry when God tries to get me to look between the lines??? It absolutely makes me so mad that maybe it can be in the...

I am just posting b/c it is almost midnight and I am still awake. Ever have those nights where your afraid to go to sleep? Where you feel like your the only one up this late? Like everyone else gets those happy dreams and restfull sleep? Wishing you were doing everything right so that you...

I totally feel your pain! I am angry too. I am angry b/c thanks to choices made by other people I have to suffer the consequences for their sin. I have to wake up every morning with a mental illness and every night I go to bed scared. I feel alone and very weary. I know God is with me. My anger...

Trish, I read a lot of what you post and I think you help a lot of people here. I really believe God wants people to have a compassion for the mentally ill and to support them whether you understand them or not. It just make me sad that most people can not look beyond symptoms and harshly...

Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement and sharing your stories with me! I have another mental illness Borderline and I think that is one of the main reasons I am depressed. I feel like I caused myself to be mentally sick and I am just so tired of every morning waking up to this...

Further more, The whole point of my post was to vent and to express that regardless of my diagnosis not many people have compassion for BPD people. Even Christians. Most people have a hard time looking beyond the list of symptoms to see the person beneath it. Not many people are willing to stick...

I was leary of writing because I already know your stance on BPD and I knew you would reply. I don't agree with you on the illness and you can call it what you want. But as for me, I call it an illness. I am in therapy and he agrees that it is an illness. So let's just say you can have your...

I have been where you are and sometimes I am still there on occassion. More than I would like to be. You need to distract your mind. Find something that totally captivates your mind for even a few moments. Like crossword puzzles, a movie, tv show or a craft. Once your mind is distracted you are...

Hi, I am new to this room. I have been too prideful to admit that I am depressed. I have so many other issues going on at the same time. I finally have an appointment at the end of the month to get med's for the depression and lack of sleep. How do you get through those days where you are so...

I get so tired of people who paint ugly pictures of those who have BPD. They talk about us like we are monsters and have absolutely no compassion on us. I didn't choose to have BPD. When I was trying to survive my childhood I didn't say "hey, let's think another way so I can have years of...

I have so had those days before! Hang in there! I am proof that Jesus will not let you go and you will make it another day. One day at a time! Will be praying for you! God Bless!

I think I speak out to people out side the boundries b/c I expect them to leave me so why not get it out of the way now. Instead of me forming and investing in a relationship so you can leave later. The other reason I think I do it is b/c I want someone to understand, to hear me, maybe to even...

Hi, I can completely understand where you are at. I was diagnosed with Borderline and PTSD. I have spent most of the time in denial about borderline. To accept BPD is like putting on this heavy coat that will take 10 years to get off. It is not a light mental illness/disorder. BPD explained...

I just finished a 13 week group theray class for survivors of abuse and one of the most important things to do is to talk to someone and to find safe people. The book "Shelter from the Storm" said that it is important to tell your story b/c then it's secrecy can have no more power over you and...

The Lord poured out his spirit upon me last July. Since then I have been having vision & dreams plus prophesy. I am going through a healing now from past childhood trauma but it is also hindering the way I interpret the visions and dreams. I have a few things below that I can use some help with...
