ADHD and sleep

...See more I’ve always had a hard time with sleeping but I’m at the point where my brain “turns on” before I even open my eyes. I mean, I will have barely woken up and a song starts playing in my head and then some thoughts come slowly creeping in. It’s part of why I grab my phone first thing in the morning, it helps to distract me. I was just wondering if anyone else experiences this and if you have any suggestions for sleeping.

Self image fluctuation

...See more I know that BPD is characterized by an unstable self image and I would say it’s one of my major symptoms. I really struggle to feel like I am meant to be here, especially when stressors become high. I don’t understand how people are able to maintain self confidence. Some days I’ll feel like I’m beautiful, smart, and capable and then other days where I feel like I don’t even understand why I’m here. I always thought I was a bad kid and now as an adult, I feel like a bad person especially when I’m unable to handle the ebbs and flows of life. I don’t know how people allow themselves to make mistakes without beating themselves up or overthinking every move. I also can’t wrap my mind around how people are able to deal with these fluctuating feelings! It seems like my feelings are just SO BIG especially when I realize how others react to things. Any advice on how to deal with this… would be great. Is it going to be like this forever? Am I going to feel like this forever?
