How many of you would attend?

« on: September 28, 2014, 08:59:25 AM »

Here is a thought for all of us, not only on this board but also for the other boards. We all have encountered the consequences and the effects of our BPDs. We have this website which is an amazing resource and an amazing relief for all of us.

What if there were a conference to discuss the difference aspects of BPD and how to evolve our coping skills? What if we were also allowed to have group sessions for us nonBPDs to share our common experiences?

We mostly do not share our real names on this website, and we do not necessarily have to share our real names at such a conference, either. The idea is to help us.

So, how many of you would attend?

I would. I would LOVE to be able to get together with people who have had these same experiences in real life. I would love to just be able to go out for a coffee with someone who has been through this.

I definetly would depending on where in the country it would be taking place. I actually was searching on meetup last night for some kind of group in my area for people that were in BPD relationships but couldn't find anything.

I have looked on Meetup too, nothing here either. I am tentatively considering starting one. I can't be the only one in my area.

God I LOVE that site! I joined recently and now I'm hearing about it EVERYWHERE!

But yes would definitely attend if there was a meetup for nons.
