I think one of the hardest things about recovery with BPD is that the healthier you get, the higher your expectations for yourself often become.

And somewhere along the way I think a lot of us stop noticing how much we’ve actually improved because the goalpost quietly keeps moving.

I’ve seen so many people with BPD talk about themselves like they’re failing recovery while describing levels of self-awareness, accountability and emotional reflection they never had years ago.

Sometimes people with BPD become so aware of every emotional mistake we still make that we stop noticing the ways we’ve improved.

anger is a pain. treat it like the injury it is:

you feel angry (you feel pain)

stop, take a moment to gather yourself and breathe deeply (stop, take a moment to apply first aid to your wound)

find the root cause of your anger; what brought your anger about and how come? (find what caused your injury; what hurt you, what type of wound?)

what can you do to regain control? try not to fuel the anger with violence; mitigate by being gentle to yourself and others (what can you do to keep you safe from further and future injury? what further treatment do you need? try not to aggravate your wound; be gentle and cautious)

accept you've done all you can, continue to breathe deeply, and find comfort away from anger and violence (accept you have done all you can and continue to take care of yourself)

the only thing that has made this life somewhat livable to me is the realization that nobody actually knows how to live the right way and we are all just winging it

What I've learnt working in / with a few different industries and people at different levels in em:

No one actually knows what they're doing, some of us are just better at bullshitting than others. Thats literally it
