Totally agree with the point about you changing but no one else does. I could never understand that. After first being diagnosed I looked up help groups and there was 1 group for bpd and about 10 for family and friends of bpd?! Googling bpd brain abnormalities mri scans did make me understand that bpd is literally brain damage and to make me somewhat better would start with trying to find ways to nourish the brain where there was damage. Also, if all children were taught relaxation techniques in school this would dramatically reduce the severity of bpd later on in life. In the uk the nhs guidelines definitely need to change because they bare no resemblance to the actual 'care' offered. I studied the amygdala, which in bpd folk has either not developed or has atrophied in teens. For me, that was a great eye opener. Many other brain abnormalities but obviously hard to grasp. Children who are traumatised are not usually going to come forward and report it so as a society we need to come up with better solutions so when they are older they don't have to go through hell. Take care.x

New subscribe here. Stumbled down the KZbin rabbit hole searching BPD and found your channel. Wanted to say thanks for the content and speaking from the perspective of a person struggling with BPD, as opposed to another video from a medical professional. I was recently diagnosed w/ BPD and definitely felt that lightbulb moment of "Yes! That's it!". Found it out after being sober for 15 months. Not sure what's next for me, but seeing your content and feeling like maybe there's a community of my peers out there gives me hope.

[@thebluebutterflykathyfletc8390]

Well done for your honesty. At the moment having to go Private to get a diagnosis for my son in his 30s who has struggled for most of his life. I'm proud of you sweet as a Mum. This BDP journey is exhausting. Sending love ❤

@@GLOsLife it's so new to me, I'm 37 and now I know about it so much in my life makes sense I was only diagnosed in March and still waiting for therapy but I hope one day I can confidently say I am in recovery

[@GLOsLife]

I fully believe I started recovery the day I was diagnosed, it made me understand myself and it’s such a relief to be like omg there’s a reason!! I had to go through all the stages of grief because I was so upset I lost years off my life because I didn’t know what was wrong with me! In a couple years I bet you’ll look back and everything will have changed!! I fully believe in you!!

USA Thank you for posting...recovery or improvement from BPD sounds more difficult than anything I have ever been tasked with...congrats for putting in all the effort and please keep believing that bad responses have NOTHING to do with you, because those are thei problems! I wish there was more I could do for my daughter (who has the diagnosis) but I will just always remember to respond properly and positively to her efforts!

2 mins in and I'm like are you me oh my god. I relate so hard when it comes to the fact that I work so fucking hard on myself to be better and better and better. I'm not the toxic shit I used to be because I spent years changing that about myself and then the people who have been in my life for years act like they don't see it and treat me like the person I used to be. All while they're still doing the shitty shit they were doing 8 years ago! It boils my blood so fucking much, I 100% get what you're saying. It makes you want to give up like. Stay strong ❤❤

@@GLOsLife ah yes we are the best at mirroring aren’t we. I only figured it out because my son has it and he does lots of the same things as I did. I think adhd could be possible in all bpd as we frantically scan our environment for differences, so we can protect ourselves.
