Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know. If anyone has the time and money to do it, practice Martial Arts. I joined kickboxing last week, and if you start going regularly, even if you don't want to, I swear it's life changing. I can finally stand up to people, have minimal need to please people, have a stronger sense of identity, and am overall more confident. 

I still struggle with some anxiety, avoidance and just escaped a depressive episode due to reducing my meds which I am considering quitting to be honest and will see if just the herbal supplements and the kickboxing will help me. I also have done DBT, therefore I recommend having done that to work on BPD traits. Or else, your mental health boost will just be a delusional one from my experience. 

I feel like I finally have hope in my life and am starting to feel like a kid again. I felt like a kid in a 40 year old body before I started kickboxing and I am 22. I really hope this maintains my mental health and am passing on the advice to my fellow BPD community. Martial arts has done to me what medication and 9 years of therapy could not.
