Re: Daughters attempted
Thanks Darcy and others for checking in and giving me places to help me navigate my emotions in order to support myself and family. I read your posts over and over, and they help give me strength. You're my support group at the moment 🙂
I cannot believe how much I am struggling with this. I'm sitting in a conference at the moment and where I once found new information so exhilarating, I'm sitting here thinking, it's so petty in comparison.
I have been reaading about BPD, am back seeing my psyche, desparately trying to keep exercising, laughing when I can, but it's like I've lost something without losing it.
Cognition before emotion with me.
My daughter is doing everything to help her recovery. Mindfulness, exercise, going to school, meeting up with friends.
Gotta go
Thanks for listening xx

Re: Daughters attempted
If you put the @ symbol before each of our namea (eg @Determined) we will get a notification.
It is good that you have been able to recieve some strength from coming here. I know it has been invaluable for me also over the past year.
I understand as will most of us here your feelings of struggling with emitions. It is good that you have been able to keep up with some activities even if it is hard.
Great news also that your daughter is actively engaging with her recovery. Really hope things pick up for you soon.

Re: Daughters attempted
I wish there was a magic potion to make it all better, but the reality is it needs time, patience, consistency, and love. You have to be strong at the very time you feel most vulnerable
Then one day you look back and see you are no longer in the middle of the darkest storm, you are just in a grey and rainy day. Then you have a partially sunny day and realise the season has changed without you being aware of it.
Time and love are the real miracles in our everyday life and they can get you through ( along with a good dog). X

Re: Daughters attempted
How are things going for you now? I trust your daughter
Is doing better and you have been able to relax a little.
Study is keeping me quite busy at the moment. In the middle of assessment.
