Title: too wrapped up in BPD Post by: Rockylove on April 27, 2013, 07:40:42 AM I think I'm going to back off the board for a while. I'm finding that I'm too consumed with BPD and not doing what I need to care for myself. Not that I don't care about all of you wonderful folks who have been so kind and encouraging, but reading about all the "issues" isn't helping me at the moment~~it's a bit depressing to be honest. I need to get my happy on and that means less focus on BPD and more focus on the beauty of life. I'll check in now and again, but right now... . less is more.

I have acknowledged about myself that I am a codependent in my relationship with my BPD fiance, and it is hard as hell to keep my mind straight. It is a constant battle to remember I can't control anything but myself and my own life. Remembering to take care of myself without feeling guilty that i'm being selfish or feeling as if other people see me as selfish is a huge hurdle.
I am glad you are taking the steps necessary to makes yourself happy. Sometimes you forget how after being enmeshed for so long in someone else's problems. Title: Re: too wrapped up in BPD Post by: Cardinals in Flight on May 01, 2013, 04:32:08 PM I can totally relate. In fact, when I mentioned my surprise to my pwBPD's latest revelation, I stated I would just go back to living in my "happy little bubble of love"
Good luck to you! <3 CiF Title: Re: too wrapped up in BPD Post by: briefcase on May 01, 2013, 05:12:22 PM Yeah, we've all been there. I've taken several breaks over the years! We'll be here if you need us!
