Title: Thoughts and prayers Post by: Timberwolf on December 29, 2019, 07:43:30 AM I was wondering if I could ask for some support and prayers for a former friend of mine with BPD that seemo be going through a difficult time .I guess that’s all I can do at this point as I am split black probably for good but my heart truly does break for their pain :(

Would it be fair to say that you still feel the urge to support someone (your former friend) who is not interested in receiving your support? If so, it seems like a thankless vigil. What keeps you hangin' on, as the song says?

That doesn’t really matter though. The bottom line is it’s not needed or wanted and I need to stop embarrassing myself .

I suggest you sit with your feelings, without the need to take any action. You are already worthy, just the way you are.

Hey TW, I wonder whether the reason you find it difficult to let go runs deeper. Hint: usually it has something to do with one's FOO or other trauma from the past. Does that ring a bell? If so, it might be worth exploring. LJ Title: Re: Thoughts and prayers Post by: Timberwolf on January 02, 2020, 12:03:03 PM Quite possibly. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that nothing was real.
