Title: Overwhelmed Post by: Obi on July 01, 2017, 03:31:27 PM Hello -
I have read Stop Walking on eggshells and in the middle of the essential family guide to BPD. Still trying to understand but believe my partner of 28 yrs is a high functioning BPD with npd as well. Everything is just starting to make sense but feel overwhelmed at the same time! Title: Re: Overwhelmed Post by: gotbushels on July 02, 2017, 09:09:59 AM Hi Obi
Welcome. Yes, it can feel there's a lot of information and it can be quite overwhelming. I do remember feeling like this when I started going through the materials to learn how to improve my relationship with my SO. I think two things will help you here. First, using self-compassion by not trying to gobble up everything as quickly as possible. Understand that it takes many people a lot of time to understand how this works. Second, exploring the idea of radical acceptance: https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=89910.msg604907#msg604907 I hope you'll share more and find it in yourself to not take things too quickly. Asking why you are trying to jump into doing it may help you. Title: Re: Overwhelmed Post by: Turkish on July 03, 2017, 01:31:20 AM Hi Obi,
I'd like to join gotbushels in welcoming you here. You posted to Co-Parenting. Are there children involved here? Turkish |
