Living with Borderline
-
Do you sometimes feel that you are no longer in control of yourself and your life?
-
Your mood changes very quickly from deep hopelessness to exuberance and vice versa and you don't know why?
-
Relationships and the closeness they bring are both something you crave and something you find hellish?
-
Sometimes you would rather be dead, you display self-destructive behavior?
Then perhaps we have something in common.
You are not here by chance!
I have made this site for people like you and me.
I often sat crying, screaming, misunderstood, alone in my room. I felt so unreasonable in my instability, hurting others and screaming how much I hated them.
I wanted so much for someone to hold me and say: You're Okay. I also wanted love, security and a sense of being okay. But no one was there, no one understood.
​
"Crazy", "Psychopath", "We're not taking you with us", no one could deal with me, least of all me.
You are a person who was probably hurt very early on, and now has to learn to take care of the deep wounds that have been inflicted.
​
The pain you have suffered and are experiencing is unimaginable. I know you. The road ahead of you will take a lot of courage and strength: even if you don't feel it at the moment - you have a lot of it in you!
You are worth saving. People with Borderline Personality Disorder are often special and sensitive - and at the same time, very vulnerable. On this page I'd like to show you what has helped me and is helping me. I want to show you through my experiences how I've learned (and it's probably a lifelong process) to deal better with borderline. My most important finding: I am reasonable, I am lovable - just like you!
​
On the following pages I'll show you what the Borderline personality disorder is. I will also describe what has helped and helps me on my way. I blog regularly in "Lessons Learned" about my everyday life, my relationships and what I was able to learn from it.
​
Under the important "Self-help" section, I will first explain the DBT skills for borderline personality disorder to you, show you DBT skills to buy and refer to the Borderline emergency kit and contact points .

I am a woman with a borderline personality disorder. I'm tired of being stigmatised by scars or diagnoses. My - and your - path is a brave, powerful one and I have deep respect for it!
