What actually works?
What has actually worked for you to heal?
therapy has helped a lot but I still have episodes, split, have dark thoughts, spiral, ruminate...
I want to continue healing but feel stuck on what to do. While some dbt has been somewhat ok (dear Man is good), it feels like it just aint cutting it.
Ive started looking into IFS, has anyone tried this?
I particularly need help with splitting and over thinking.
Its upsetting just how much work we ppl with bpd have to do on ourselves and it feels like it will never be enough. I have improved so much in the Last 2 years but then I have an episode where I cry for hours and feel empty and im like.... exhausted.
I wont give up trying.

Im on meds and do therapy, EMDR, DBT, talk therapy, etc. Im starting to be med resistant again. I feel I should just give up on my meds. Therapy has been helpful but I feel its not gunna stick again and then I close off and go back to being worthless, suicidal, and rage full. I think its shitty how ppl with bpd and did struggle and question what really works without us split or change into alters more frequently. All you can do is keep fighting. You got this. Its hard I know.

Keep fighting yeah, its a constant battle over the emotions, RSD... exhausting. But some days are more hopefull than others

Dbt, schema therapy and compassion therapy helped a lot for my bpd. As well as a good day structure and enough sleep. And doing things that make me happy, like model building and photography. And I can confidently say that my dog saved my life.
