Taking a Personal Retreat. Any Suggestions?

[Depression = 72% of members]

Walking on Eggshells recommends taking a personal retreat. Does anyone have recommendations on what could be done during such a retreat? A workbook or something like that I can spend focused time on for 2-3 days.
Thank you!

I think my relationship with a pwBPD has only survived because I take personal 'breaks' initially I would fear doing it dreading what I might return to.

For me I periodically attend a retreat centred on guided 'mindfulness' and self-compassion - I find it a great way to recharge my batteries and reset my thinking. I think anything that engages 'you' and allows you to focus on yourself is good.

Those are great ideas ortac77! Mindfulness can really help us stay centered.

What kind of activities do you enjoy or would you like to try out?

I don't really take many retreats, but I do find the time to do little things I enjoy. I try to get together with girlfriends at least once per month. Sometimes I paint or do photography. I go clothes shopping or get a mani or pedi.
