Hello!
im new here and I believe I have bdp.
I had a really bad day yesterday horrible day. I felt so alone empty I was furious all day cuz my bf was getting dinner with someone else and I just felt so alone and crazy.
but I just woke up today and I feel better
@Red789
Hi again Red, thank you for joining this check-in!
I am sorry to hear you had such a bad day yesterday. It must have felt so challenging to sit with those feelings of loneliness, anger and emptiness. I am glad you are feeling better today. Which coping mechanisms do you usually utilise to deal with such overwhelming emotions and feelings?
@Red789
i have bpd and i have not dealt with it at all for the past year. it has caused me losing my relationship so all i can say you have to do everything in your power to work on it through therapy and medication - it helps.
@davdied
I'm sorry that the past year has been difficult and that you've lost some relationships because of it. But glad that you feel like there's some hope of improving things by working through it with therapy and medications.
@admaiorasemper
hello! Starting a new job tmro at a new company I'm gonna do my best to keep my emotions in check cuz I know I tend to have very intense emotions around big events
@Red789
Hi Red, welcome back :)
Congrats for your new job! It feels very positive that you are aware of the challenge that lies ahead for you tomorrow. Are you still feeling weird and off?
@admaiorasemper
hello! I still feel kinda weird. I got lunch with a friend today and I felt weird. Like I wasn't really there. I kept wanting to just leave
@Red789
That lunch with your friend sounds as a challenging moment for you, with some possible dissociation. I find your level of awarennes very positive. Do you know what may have triggered this need of leaving? How are you feeling today? I wish you a great first day at work :)
@admaiorasemper
I'm not sure why I wanted to leave she is one of my closest friends but I wanted to leave as soon as I got there. And thank you I'm excited but very nervous for my first day. I hope you have a good day too!
@Red789
Just wanted to say that you are in my thoughts. Hope you had a nice day at work!
@admaiorasemper
thank you! I had a pretty good first day. It was definitely overwhelming since it's a step up from my last job and I had a horrible boss at my last job but I'm excited for this opportunity
@Red789
I am happy to hear that it was a good day! And I get how it must have still felt overwhelming. I hope you managed to practise some self-care to deal with those intense feelings.
Safe tight hugs for you if that is ok
@admaiorasemper
hello! tight safe hugs are definitely ok thank you for being so supportive
