• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

BPD- Chronic?

Status
Not open for further replies.
I've been told that my diagnosis of BPD is most likely going to be chronic in that I've been through DBT, therapy, hospitizations and nothing has helped.
Meds have helped to an extent, but then I was overmedicated and that just made things worse after gaining 60 lbs.

I've given up on ever recovering. And I think everyone around me has given up on me as well.

Do not give up. That would be to call God a liar. He can change you if you are willing to submit to His will for your life.

I was in therapy from 1988 till the present, with the same therapist, and this year he finally agreed to take away my BPD diagnosis. I was not diagnosed until age 32. There were many times I wanted to give up, but a friend kept reminding me that God did not give up on me, why should I?

Get a discipler in your life. Find an older, Christian woman with whom you can have a discipleship relationship and submit to her teaching. Ask her to teach you about God's grace and love for you.

Hugs,
Trish
