This video that should help you understand how your BPD feels every single day... .it makes me cry, every time I watch it, but it also keeps me on the right track with my DD.

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi tristesse

Thanks for sharing this video, I think it is very helpful when we are able to place ourselves in the shoes of our BPD loved ones and try to see the world through their eyes. The understanding that can come from that will help us more effectively apply the various tools and lessons. I can understand your tears when watching it, it is sad to realize how much some people are hurting inside and how hard it can be for them just to get through a single day.

Hi Tristesse

Thanks for posting the video, you're right its important we understand how our loved ones feel every single day keeps us on the right track and in their boots 

My 28DD tweets for BPD and other disorders educational tweets , ... .as well as sharing how she's feeling, her pain, frustration, struggles and her triumphs, she's validated by other sufferers who understand, she's not alone and nor are they.  It breaks my heart to feel her pain written there right in front of me and I have to remember this is a positive and therapeutic coping mechanism of her choice, replacing a few unhealthy ones (she 10 months in weekly DBT) - not cut herself or hospitalised since Feb 2016 and alcohol is off the menu.

I wonder if other members loved ones tweet and if it's helped their child? I believe it's a positive experience for my DD so thought I'd get it out there.
