Please let her know from me that I am 'normal', yet I have these thoughts all the time. To others, it sounds abnormal, but to borderlines, it's a daily occurrance. @Mol
I really hope she gets the support she needs.
I had two sessions of weekly therapy for 18 months to help me change my unhelpful thinking patterns. BPD is a very slow moving condition. It takes years to build up and years to recover from.
Also, know that BPD recovery does not mean an absence of symptoms, but rather, that you can live effectively with them.
I honestly honestly feel I have the best life out now. To this day, I am in awe at how much I have changed - for the better. I learnt to embrace BPD rather than see it an an enemy. I've learnt to embrace life and give myself the permission to live.
Look after yourself. BPD can be very tiring for carers. I have found that healthy boundary-setting was most important for carers.
As much as I haven't 'seen' you or your daughter, I really feel like I need to give you both a hug. What you have shared is so close to my heart.
Hugs to you both.
