Hi soother,




I'd like to welcome you to bpdfamily, I'm sorry that you,re going through this. I can see how hopeless that would feel if we're hanging in there and things keep getting worse. You of may of tried traditional counselling to no avail. It helps to learn as much as you can about BPD, you'll quickly see the benefits and become proficient over time. It helps to talk to people that can relate with you. You'll find the lessons to the right side of the board.
