Hi, I’m new here and struggling lately with not being able to be in communication with my FP. Lately its been weighing on me very heavily and I’m really struggling. I just want to know what you guys do when you can’t talk with your FP and how you keep from going insane?

Hi, welcome! Sorry that it's been so hard not being able to talk with the person who you really want to talk to. 💜

Personally I try to have a list of distracting/leisure activities that I can do when I'm feeling bored/lonely/anxious. Or sometimes if there's something specific bothering me, I'll either journal about it or I have a couple people that I'm sometimes able to talk with about it.

Just going to share a few links:

  • HERE is a thread with tips related to loneliness
  • HERE is a list of experienced listeners who accept chats related to BPD if you're looking for someone to talk to
  • HERE is a master list of threads discussing DBT skills; some of the distress tolerance ones might be useful

Hey, well i somehow ended up being in same spot. I can not talk to my favorite person and it's difficult to cope. I try my best to stay busy and to just have no time to think of them, which works at times and at times it doesn't.

I'd like to know what you tryed and did it help or not erc. 😅
