Title: The steps I have taken to feel better Post by: irishmarmot on September 27, 2014, 07:00:13 AM My relationship ended in January 2014 when my expwBPD filed a restraining order against me. Some BPD's will do this and they are the dangerous ones to deal with. I have been through a traumatic event and these are the things that have helped.
1. NC for obvious reasons 2. Blocked her on all social media-I found out she was viewing my profiles in some places 3. Got into therapy 4. Started going back to church 5. Started exercising 6. Returned to doing things I love rock-climbing and hiking 7. Abstained from alcohol 8. Started dating again but nothing serious and I have met some wonderful women 9. Daily meditation- this comes easy for me and relaxes me. 10. Reading the posts here has been a tremendous help and has made me much more aware of the illness. Its has been almost 9 months and much of the pain is gone. And I don't hate her. I do love her despite all she put me through. I take responsibility for my part in the relationship. I've learned that I am responsible for my own happiness. Title: Re: The steps I have taken to feel better Post by: LettingGo14 on September 27, 2014, 07:04:16 AM Thank you for sharing. I completely affirm the actions you've taken. The trauma we suffer is real. And the steps you've taken are fantastic. Daily meditation has a been a lifesaver for me as well.

Exercise is good to process the anger and help with the depression. I didn't feel better all at once, it was a cumulative effect and time with NC is a great healer.
