Title: My mother has BPD and I am exhausted Post by: rollercoaster51 on April 13, 2021, 02:41:32 PM Hi there, :hi:
I am so done with this illness. It is exhausting, makes me feel crazy and like a bad daughter, I am tired of being "punished". I need help. Title: Re: My mother has BPD and I am exhausted Post by: beatricex on April 13, 2021, 02:54:59 PM hi rollercoaster51,
Welcome. Would you like to elaborate on your borderline mother? The most crazy making thing mine does (lately) is after an "event" pretending like it just didn't happen. I am trying to find a way to go low low or even no contact, but it's exhausting to think this will trigger her abandonment and maybe even backfire. That said, I keep having my bloodwork come back High for cortisol (the stress hormone). I know it is in my best interest to find a way to get her out of my life and/or head. My husband, too, is having heart issues. We need to relax not be "on edge" 24/7. So, in some ways it's a matter of life or death. Just wracking my brain to come up with the means to do it. welcome, I'm glad you found this board, there's a lot of support here (although it's been eerily quiet lately) b |
