Well I survived the holiday break, THANK GOSH!!! Kind of excited to get back to work since we have been out of routine with the kids being out of school. So far, 17 days has been good. Still battling a lot of depression and was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder last week. It honestly is a huge relief and makes a lot of sense.

Just rambling because thankfully I know my TS community listens.

A little more about me; going through a divorce, just had a baby, I have a 2.5 year old, and this new diagnosis just tops it off. It would be easy for me to pull the shot glass out and keep it going for hours in my room hiding my drinking. But putting children to bed safely is more important than my selfish addiction. Vulnerability is nothing I have been good at, but Iā€™m working on it.

Thanks for listening friends, you guys keep me going every day. I hope everyone had a sober and safe Thanksgiving. Iā€™m thankful for this app. šŸ«¶šŸ½

Congraton ur 17 days!! And way to go on getting thru the holiday. I was diagnosed many years ago with BPD and honestly that diagnosis changed everything. I am now on medication and had completed DBT group therapy awhile back. Made a big difference once that diagnosis was put into place. Explained why I did alot of the things I did. Hope they provide u with a number of supports also :slight_smile: wishing u all the best!

I start my DBT therapy this week, I have heard group therapy is great for BPT! I am really looking forward to it because like you said, I think it will make a lot of sense is to why I react the way I do. Thanks for the comment, that means a lot.
