Since my last BPD ‘episode’, things have been quite good @Ferylgirl @BlueBay @Sirine @tyme @SanSan 

I’m counting down days and realise I have a week left before returning to work. I’m excited yet also a bit anxious as I don’t know what to expect. I don’t even know which team I’ll be working with this year, nor do I have my timetable yet.

I have to say I’ve had a good break from work and am ready to go back. I start Friday next week.

 Tonight, I’m just browsing BPD resources to see what’s out there. I completed SANE’s survey tonight and one thing I wrote which I’d like to see more of is ‘more accessible supports for people with BPD’.

 It’s so unfortunate that only a handful of people get access to the much-needed treatment.

I hear about people having BPD struggles all the time. Why? I’ve come to realise that it’s not because the prevalence is any higher than the 2%, but rather, that people are not going into remission because they don’t have access to the BPD-specific therapies? What do you think? 

Also, I’m a bit disillusioned by so many therapists offering DBT which is supposed to help those with BPD… why? Because it’s not really the whole DBT course… rather, it’s elements of it.

 What I have found then is that people with BPD come out saying, ‘DBT didn’t help’… but maybe that’s because they didn’t actually have the whole therapy? This breaks my heart.

I wish I could help all BPD-ers out there. I really do. I have felt the pain. I have felt the rage. I have felt what it is to be turned away by services.

 My heart is with you. 

Please feel free to share your BPD experiences. It may help many feel less alone.
