it is not cowardly to admit that you need help in dealing with your diagnosis, we all deserve a chance at a healthy, fulfilling life. this is how I am taking steps to better myself and hopefully start DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) soon - a method in treating and managing symptoms brought on by BPD. I am so lucky that I have a very strong person in my life to support me with this but I understand that not everyone does, sometimes you have to be that person for yourself. thanks always for your love and support, stay strong everyone 🖤

Michi: I'm so glad you didn't attempt suicide or hurt yourself! This world would be very much worse off without you. We wouldn't have your wonderful videos. Your boyfriend and your parents wouldn't have your love. Your friends wouldn't have your companionship. You made the right choice in going to the hospital. Thank you for staying in this world and being you!

[@yourfavoritearies4683]

Luis The Humanist I totally agree with you!

[@MichiMavros]

wow thank you so much for this i really really appreciate you taking the time to write this out. REALLY nice hearing Luis :)

[@jeffprice4816]

Thank you so much for sharing this video and I personally need you around because I just turned 50 and was diagnosed like six months ago and I get more from your posts than all the other ones. Even the ones put out by specialists in the field and that isn't taking anything from them,

For each and every single one of You No matter how You think or feel. REFUSE TO DIE Before You ever get the chance to Live 💪

[@dougietotherescue]

Yes, please let us know how the DBT is going. I’m in the process of getting permission from my job to start DBT. My therapist also recommended medication but I am just too scared to try it from being put on the wrong medication virtually every time in the past. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can start DBT and not need medication. Seeing and listening to other people with BPD is really helpful. Thanks for putting yourself out there.

[@kimberlywolf2634]

You are such a brave woman. Seeking help is one of the most difficult situations that we, people who suffer from mental illness, are put through. I am proud of you for making a mature and adult decision. Sending you all the good vibes, Michi 😙

[@jthomson7229]

I love your openness in talking about this and explaining in detail what has helped for you :)

[@MichiMavros]

J Thomson thank you im so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@robinwirsta4064]

I’ve just been accepted into a DBT program as of Wednesday! I was actually on a waiting list for about a year and a half (not to scare you, you should be proud and excited). Just knowing that I would be getting the help I need soon really soothed me. My boyfriend said I should put up some KZbin videos through my process... but I am in no way a photogenic as you! I’m really excited for you, and I just want you to know your videos help me feel less alone!

[@megancooper376]

Michi I think you’re amazing for doing these videos. After suffering for 17 years, I’m finally putting the pieces together. I’ve never received proper help or a diagnosis but I know it’s time to demand help (even though ironically I’m in a relatively good place right now) everything in your videos I relate to completely. 2 years ago I nearly took myself to hospital as you did, kinda wish I had gone now, maybe I would have got help. Would love to message with you. It’s so nice to hear that I’m not alone and someone else feels exactly the way I do. Thankyou, please keep making videos x

[@megancooper376]

Ps I want your hair! Thinking about dying it again now

[@hollyfletcher9903]

This is how I’ve been feeling the last few weeks. I turn to drink. I’m only 21. I sit down and watch your videos with my mum and bf helps us all understand x

[@joshuartaylor30]

It's good to self analyze and get to know your triggers, highs and lows. Support Systems are key, especially ones that are strong and can understand. Thank you for your videos. Seeing DBT has worked great for me. Literally had the same thing happen to me with my 6 yr+ Therapist. He had to leave his practice, and he got me into DBT. At first I felt abandoned. Reset...but, was able to get through the hump...and has been 100% mindful reset. Like being back in school, learning about yourself and readjusting. Stay strong Light Warrior, we're here for a reason...and you are doing your work. Thank you for sharing and pushing the cause! Wish more people could speak this open and honest.

[@MrBlue-ni6te]

DBT has helped me not only manage my symptoms but also I can conceptualize why. If you ever thought 'why am I feeling this way' DBT mindfulness exercises can help answer that question, even when the big emotional waves hit. No matter what treatment you seek, please know that I wish you the best of health, best of luck, and a better tomorrow. Peace

[@SamEATS]

I did DBT and it helped me SO much. I'm glad you're starting it and can get the skills to live your life how you want to be able to! I hope that you know that learning to manage the things life throws at you and express your emotions in a healthy way is a great thing and you're a strong person :) and speaking from experience, your recovery does not mean you'll be giving up any of your passion, creativity, and all the good things about you either! it only makes things better and more clear. I love watching your videos and they were always really helpful to me and validating during some hard times.

[@carolynntucker7120]

Same. I had to go to the emergency room also to get a diagnosis and psychiatrist... I'm also waiting for DBT therapy 🖤 in real time

[@andrewgalvin7]

I am a big fan of yours Michi!!! I actually just started a partial hospitalization full DBT program today! 7 hours a day, 5 days a week.

[@keitheutsey4476]

Just continue to let your light shine and keep moving forward, don't give up. Keep your head up and everything will be alright😇❤

[@MichiMavros]

Keith Eutsey thanks so much Keith!!!!

[@Seafox0011]

No need to say sorry, we understand completely. DBT sounds really interesting - each step is a step forward. Thank you for taking the time to make this update video. Spring is just around the corner - everyday offers a new beginning and we can make it so.

[@aquamarinedream8304]

Living hasn't been too enjoyable for me either. 😢

[@sikeedelic8348]

I've been in that same boat lately and my doctor encouraged me to exercise everyday 20-30 mins. but, it has to be aerobic and make me sweat/get my heart rate up. I'm not into medications as I was prescribed so many in the past and they did nothing for me. It's helped a lot so far with my major depression. I also wanna say thank you for all you do! DBT saved my life (I'm also diagnosed with Borderline)!! You're going to do great! :)

[@MichiMavros]

Native Owl thank you so much i can't wait to start DBT, I hope you can find a method that helps you soon you deserve to feel your best:) stay strong xoxo

[@Marushkamon]

I really appreciate you opening up like that, I care about you and hope that good things will happen to you soon!

[@hunaidab7572]

Sometimes I feel like I should be in hospital but honestly, I hate it. They have this massive stigma around BPD patients that we are just looking for some "attention" and the consultants discharge you within a week or 2 even if you tell them you are still feeling very low. Whenever I do feel like actually "doing" something, hospital is the last place I want to go. I'm on a programme for DBT and group therapy but its taking ages for them to "assess" me so I'm really hoping it works when they finally start because it does feel like my last option.

[@JD61234]

I was in that place a week ago and did the same thing, told a friend and went to the hospital. Big hugs and hello from Nemo's group. Xxx

[@L5biszz]

I hope you'll get better. Thanks for sharing, as a someone with interest in the topic of personality disorders, I couldn't thank you enough for sharing.

[@Geshtafshnifka]

Do keep us updated! Stay strong 💪!!!

[@kingpossie]

Hang in there, Michi !

[@Geshtafshnifka]

So happy to see another long-waited video of you,take care!

[@1988sezz]

I’m from Australian and just start DBT a week ago! I’m like you I didn’t feel medication was working and I have my hopes set so high for DBT to help me.....as I’m at my lowest point and it help being in a group of people who are somewhat dealing with the same kind of issues everyday

[@MichiMavros]

1988sezz i hope DBT works for you!! thanks for the comment :)

[@Forexkade]

Hi..Im from Australia too.. Im feeling shit and I need help..where did you get help? email me please.. [e-mail]

[@IIHateYouAlll]

My therapist did the same thing and I reacted the same way. We went through DBT and it helps it's just hard to keep in mind when you're quickly escalated.

[@lifewithavpd]

Good luck with DBT! I’m on a waiting list as well for a possibly DBT program here in Montreal... fingers crossed for you & me both :)

[@sweetluvgurl]

I'm sorry you've been struggling. I understand it. It sucks. In some ways, I've been doing a lot more than I was. However, I'm still at a fairly low functioning level. Oh, your story about the therapist leaving and your response sounds like a few incidences I've had. It is hard to open up on a certain level, and then essentially have to start over again with someone else. Personally, I'm at that point, I'm going to have to start therapy yet again (like I've been doing on and off for like 16-17 years now, actually. I started therapy around when I was 15 or 16, I believe.

[@antirae]

Please keep us updated on how DBT goes for you! I had my first group session today after a year of waiting, of what was explained to us it really does seem like it will help if it works. Really hope you feel better soon and you can start the programme too :) xx

[@ashleysartattack5600]

Hi! I just found your channel and I love it! I got diagnosed with bpd about 4 years ago now and it’s rough. I was just trying to explain it to my boyfriend last night because I have all the typical symptoms and I was explaining what I go through in detail. I’ve been doing poorly lately too. Your videos help me not feel as much alone. Also, side note: I love your hair and the shirts you always wear. Cute!

[@reeberreeber5270]

My "husband " sends me your videos all the time. I THINK you are a sweetheart. My husband needs intervention for abuse, blameshiftimg and not taking responsibility for beating me physically. I wish he would get out of my accounts (like this one he made.) I wish he would stop messaging my friends in Smear Campaigns. Before I need to see videos (I'm 42 and diagnosed, I'm medicated ) but he's a Narc sucks Asshole, who is the MAIN reason I suffer!!! So if you see this Simon, keep on watching these videos.... you need serious stalking help. Peace out!! Good luck

[@Valdivia9494]

You're my favorite person :3!!!!

[@charlesbromberick4247]

Stick with your DBT, Michi - Little by little things will become more easily controlled.

[@Alex-pv4ft]

2 doctors told me there's nothing can be done about BPD. So I've just decided that if it can't be 'cured' then he can sign me off forever.

[@sukhbahia9234]

Michi I love your videos and find them so so so helpful ! Keep up your good work and I hope you are doing well and on the up 😀

[@MichiMavros]

Sukh bahia thank you very much for this positivity!! you as well :)

[@AnneWhyte]

Please don't think about trying to do this again, you need to try and change your thinking pattern from a negative one to a positive one, search youtube videos for ''motivational videos'' or ''positive thinking.'' You are really beautiful inside and out and there are not many great people like you around, we NEED you! xx

[@MrBpd]

Mr Bpd did the same thing with my therapist. She moved was going to hook me up with someone new. I freaked out yelled at her stormed out never went back.

[@MichiMavros]

Mr Bpd its so annoying that we react to it this way really puts us back in our treatment:(

[@MrBpd]

HA ha ha ha new he was a poser!

[@sweetluvgurl]

I'm really confused. >_>

[@sweetluvgurl]

So I'm guessing you're trolling the BPD community, or that's you using 2 accounts having an episode? I've seen you post on bipolar barbie's video recently.

[@sweetluvgurl]

Andy Smith You're a toxic, sad individual. I'm not even dignifying that stupid 5 year old comment with a comeback. Welcome to my block list.

[@carlyhayton1107]

So happy for a new video ♡

[@MichiMavros]

Carly hayton hehe thanks hope you liked it!!

[@anthonynemo94]

it is very difficult for borderliners when people leave us and it don't matter if it is friends, family, shrinks or and 1 we get close to as we normally put them on a hi in our minds so that when ill and splitting we can still trust and see them as friends (we love or hate, we can we can't, will won't perfection or rejection) as if we don't then we can't trust enough. it is hard as when doing this sometimes we don't see how much that person can become to us and most won't see this and some even belieivewe fall in love witht hem because they are hot,,,,,, :O0. hope that you know i am here for you any time u need michi matey and you know where to find me. Trusting others witht the same illness can be hard to understand when u give so much help and understanind to others. so glad you had the strenth not to hurt yourself. big hugs hun and the friends you have in here. you are 1 of the very best and we love you xxx

[@4lex4lex]

Me too For the past couple months at least I've been depressed and restarted Prozac I'm BPD and *major depressive Excuse my stoned self 😁

[@4lex4lex]

It comes in cycles, it always comes back :(

[@minamesparkletits6714]

Same

[@tobiahtoviyahgoodnessof349]

Are You ok now Miss ❓

[@charveemakwana2227]

I just got diagnosed w BPD and treatment resistant depression. As well as PTSD. I have 0 friends and my family just doesn't understand me. Idk what to do. I have nobody to talk to and all I want is to die.

[@tobiahtoviyahgoodnessof349]

I hope that You're still alive sibling REFUSE TO DIE Before You ever get the chance to Live 💪

[@devinbrines]

You're beautiful Michi.

[@miracrapark]

im 14 and I have no idea how to ask for help

[@tobiahtoviyahgoodnessof349]

Speak to You're doctor Perhaps he or she will refer You To a psychiatrist or psychologist. Talking to such a person can only help You Just don't allow them to pump You Full of medication. Speak You're mind and they will help You Best of wishes sibling. Kindest of regards

[@hollyfletcher9903]

What medication do you take? I’m on sertraline and mirtazapine but need to try something else? X

[@bttfspencer]

what substances did you be abusin bruv?

[@jordsupp]

It's probably enough to know that substance abuse is involved, without needing to know the exact drugs. In a way, I guess it's the same as Michi telling us that being in debt weighs her down. Knowing exactly how much debt she's in, doesn't really change anything.

[@bttfspencer]

ye youre right mate it dunt even matta cuz she a woman, she can do anyfing she wants bloke ya knat i mean?
