I loved your speech on things getting slowly better!

[@sweet16cheeks]

She made me cry (27 f) because she spoke to my younger self and it’s true it’s a HARD life but it does get batter and I am happy to be alive because it means I’m beating the odds it kinda feels like battling a disease that’s supposed to kill you.

If someone with BPD is going through psychosis. THEY ARE NOT SAFE. Please call 911 immediately. They are physical danger to themselves and others. Keep them and everyone around them safe. Just my professional opinion from 3 years of social work education.

Hey I wanted to ask you how it's going?? Also I need help as someones FP because she's in a really bad space rn and is suicidal as hell but doesn't want help.. What can I say to make her consider therapy and stuff?

[@CharcoalDove]

@@kingmuizz708 Sorry for the late reply!!!! It's hard but it's going well now. I'm not a perfectly normal person with a car and a livable wage but I'm working on it. I'm not a psych so I can't give any concrete advice regarding trauma from a clinical perspective. But I can say what worked for me: Getting out of the environment and away from the people who traumatized me. This is probably the most important thing in order to get better. She needs to get enough sleep and eat enough nutrients throughout the day. Those things are what they prioritized when I was in the ward. Does she not want to go to the hospital? Has she already been there? It's very hit or miss, especially right now. Hope she's doing ok. Sorry it's been 2 years since you commented. I try not to go back here but I will make sure I do from now on from time to time.
