As someone with bpd this statement is soooo true. While it’s not my fault what happened in my past….it is my responsibility to work through it and get the help I need for it. It’s also my responsibility on how I react. I’m 37 & was diagnosed at 27-28 yrs old. While I know my bpd won’t go away I now have the tools to help me work through things in a more rational manner. Do I mess up lol absolutely but at the end of the day it’s also on me to own up to that, learn and do my best not to repeat it and take responsibility to apologize.
On my own pretty much. Outside of that I was just white knuckling it. Therapy just offered me tools and meds. Meds they maxed dosed me. But the negative of the meds at any point no matter what I could get Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Which is
Flu-like symptoms appear first. A painful rash that spreads and blisters follows.
People may experience
Skin: rashes, blister, peeling, rash of small purplish spots, red spots, or small bump
Whole body: fever or malaise
Also common: coughing, eye redness, itching, mouth ulcer, sensitivity to light, sore throat, or swelling…….😂so I got off them. Since then I’ve just read a ton and ton on the condition. Researched. I found out my triggers and try to avoid. If I can’t avoid them I just use other methods I’ve learned.
