Hello,

I just joined this group, I have BPD and have been working hard in my DBT therapy work books and audio books. However, I am missing the comradery and peer support. I’d love to shoot around tips and ideas with anyone that is interested. We are all in this together, and I’m grateful to know I’m not alone. I get discouraged a lot knowing that I have this ‘condition’ and I wonder if I’ll ever live a normal life. I am 27 and still not married and starting to panic. But because of my borderline I have trouble maintaining healthy relationships. I just can’t seem to manage my emotions properly. I really need help in this area. Can anyone relate?

Thanks for reading and hope to hear from someone! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I gained a lot from DBT. I'm so happy you found DBT at such a young age. I was 43, married, with two children when I discovered DBT. Thing were going well with DBT, I finally got the nerve to separate from my husband. Not only am I BPD, but he is also a narcissist. We were/are a fiery couple.

I got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2014. I went back to my dysfunctional marriage because I was scared to go through MS alone. Things have been better, but I have noticed what I gained in DBT is slipping away from me.

I wish you all the luck with DBT.
