bpd questions

[bpdgirl]

Hey im new to this and I know i ha e had it for a while but wasn't diagnosed untill last friday. I have bpd and i am finding it really hard to cope with it from work im very very emotional tial and i hate it when people ask me to do 50 things at once coz then I get too distracted. Basically I was wondering how people cope when it gets really bad, it's affecting my work and stuff at the moment and while work are really understanding I hate not being able to do things becuase of it, I am medicated to help with the depression but when I get really bad I cant work, I just wanted new way or idea to help cope if anyone had any suggestions they would be apreciated

I have BPD too..... i find timetables/scheduals help, as do to Do lists.
I make sure i have time to myself (like half an hour to an hour).
I keep in regualr contact with specific freinds... who willl chat with me if i need it/ be a sounding baord or just hang out with me.. plus i also help/support them.
Medication helps my depression, and sleep.
7-9 hours sleep a night is really beneficial.
I dont work or study full-time and havent for a long time as its too much for me- learn your limits and them put things in place to maintain them.
I go to 'talking' therapy and am learning new ways of coping.
Work out your triggers for not coping/.... for me its things like family probelms, being too busy, not enough sleep.. etc
Learn to notice when your not ok or unstable..
seek help form psych people early on if you start even considering hurting yourself..... lots of admissions to medical wards dont help and make recovery harder.
Ive no idea how old you are BUT with time and growth (physical and emotional) it does get easier.

Have they referred you for therapy at all? Like DBT? It's meant to be really good for Bpd difficulties. X
