How can I not let insults or rejection from the past cause suicidality?

Insults and rejection do not cause suicide, people make a voluntary choice to do that.

You don't let insults and rejection harm you by rejecting them if they are lies and believing the truth instead.

First, if you have BPD, as I do, remember that your tendency is to exaggerate the past negative experiences. On that basis, ask the Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to enter your thinking. Invite Him as you would your most trusted friend, because He is only good, only love, and only on your side. Ask Him to protect you from any enemy tactics that would be formed against you. Then relax as best you can in the Truth.
If you get brave enough to think a little deeper, then remember that Jesus Christ died for ALL your sins, not just some of them. So if you did something that you are ashamed of, remember that I, as one of your human friends probably did the same thing only worse, and that Jesus Christ paid the price for it on the Cross. God knows all about your BPD and He is ready to support you forever. I will personally pray that your thoughts of suicide will diminish until it is no longer an important issue, but a fleeting thought, easily given over to God as you improve day by day in your Christian journey. God bless you my friend in Christ. Botham

Thank you. It is hard to not believe bad things about myself, and when I do, it's a downward spiral leading to suicidal feelings. I'm currently learning mindfulness and DBT.

A pleasure to support you. I just read about DBT on Wikipedia and this should help you.
God bless, Botham
