We use worrying about them to avoid our own 'stuff' and our feelings.

It's an addiction.  ;p

This is very true. A difficult thing to admit to ourselves. A thing many of us share in common with our BPD. A lack of self awareness.

 Reading about

Mindfulness is one of the core concepts behind all elements of DBT. It is considered a foundation for the other skills taught in DBT, because it helps individuals accept and tolerate the powerful emotions they may feel when challenging their habits or exposing themselves to upsetting situations.



... And also reflect on: He loved me as best as he knew how.   I loved him the best I knew how.

Now starts the long road where : I am learning to love myself and I give myself all what I need. ;p
