Title: I need help
Post by: Bengal on August 17, 2020, 01:40:34 AM
I can take it anymore.
We have a minor child but the cycles never stop and it’s all I can do to keep getting out of bed in the morning.

Does anything work to distract from this reality and the anxiety ?

Hey Bengal, Welcome!  Maybe you could fill us in a little more about your situation?  You're right: the cycles are ongoing and a part of BPD.  Sad to say, you can't have a BPD r/s without cycles.  As for a strategy, I suggest you practice disengagement: Decline to participate in the drama; Stay above the fray; Don't react; pause, and respond thoughtfully; and work on your boundaries.
