I have 90% recovered from my BPD but my girlfriend has not. I'm isolated and in pain. No one in my support understands what's going on. I don't even understand it sometimes

Hi. Thank you for your response! I have not been able to see your earlier response, just this one.
Today has been much better. I am utilizing some tools.
The 4 agreements, validation, not the opposite and listening. Being helpful. Staying self aware. Not needing validation. Keeping my irrational fears in check. Restraint of pen and tongue.

Dear Higherself-
You sound so self-aware, which is great. I know you’ve done an amazing amount of work. I also have some traits, as I explained in my longer response to your other post.
I’m going to try and bring that post forward. If I cannot do that, I’ll try (tomorrow) to cut and paste my longer response here.
Please keep your spirits up. You deserve love in every way.
Warmly,
Gemsforeyes
