Positive Post - Self help.

I recently bought the book Borderline Personality Disorder For Dummies, and its done me soooo much good. I have learnt so much about my condition, im not saying everyone should go get it. But its helping me see how I come across to others and how i can modify my behaviour. im getting on a bit now 32! And I dont want to spend ANY more time in A&E. I just dont have the phsical or mental energy for hurting myself, and the consequeces after. Do you think you deserve the pain or being treated like crap or stays in crappy psych wards? I dont think ANY of you deserve it. So now instead of picking up that whatever I treatmyself instead. Like 2moro, im getting a new winter coat, doesnt sound like much but to me its exciting lol. Why dont you lovely ppl try to treat yourself the way you treat your mum or granny...u wouldnt hurt them i hope. Anyway, if you still cut its not a disaster, just use that opportuninty to be kind to yourself x

This was a really thoughtful post, thank you. I think it's such a good idea to understand we are deserving of the kindness we give to our loved ones, even though it's challenging.

Enjoy winter coat shopping tomorrow!

I think improvement of self knowledge is always a wonderful thing. To be able to understand yourself and how you work better can allow you to move forward and be kind to yourself in a safe and productive manner. It's great that this book has been so powerful for you and self kindness is a wonderful thing. I hope you're enjoying your new coat.
