I need help

« on: August 17, 2020, 01:40:34 AM »

I can take it anymore.
We have a minor child but the cycles never stop and it’s all I can do to keep getting out of bed in the morning.

Does anything work to distract from this reality and the anxiety ?

Hey Bengal, Welcome! Maybe you could fill us in a little more about your situation? You're right: the cycles are ongoing and a part of BPD. Sad to say, you can't have a BPD r/s without cycles. As for a strategy, I suggest you practice disengagement: Decline to participate in the drama; Stay above the fray; Don't react; pause, and respond thoughtfully; and work on your boundaries.
