Title: Email / text written / letter
Post by: RobertX on February 09, 2022, 09:05:25 AM
Hello all...are there any thoughts on if emails, texts and written letters are better ways of communicating with those who have BPD?  Is so are there any issues like 'JADE' to avoid, or no go areas to ask about if just catching up?  Many thanks

Personally I think texting is the best mainly because you can be short and focused. You can also just send a picture of something with a comment etc.

I think avoiding the 'how are you' questions is good - in fact most questions can just set off emotional reactions I think. So depends on the person - something light always good I think.
