I’m usually pretty good with my BPD symptoms, I’d say I’m reasonably high-functioning, but really struggling with cancelled or changed plans and need some coping strategies.

My bf and I have had tickets to a concert for months and months, been really looking forward to this with him. However, he had to take an unanticipated trip overseas for a funeral and got back yesterday, was feeling run down for weeks before he left but had to get COVID tested for work and has been told to self-isolate for 72 hrs. 

I am beyond upset. I feel angry, frustrated, despairing, and have spiralled into really negative thinking. He’s suggesting I ask one of my other friends to go with me but I’m already so far along in defeatist and negative thoughts that I’m convinced I would have a shitty time tonight anyway because I feel so down about it.

More than anything I just feel so, so angry. I need help calming down and dealing with this, i’m at work right now and on the verge of tears.
