Does anyone else get long stretches where their BPD isn't as present? It used to be an all the time thing for me but I guess I've been healing so I go longer and longer without feeling like I'm in what I usually refer to as a "heightened BPD state." I'm in one right now but it's the first time in 4 months that I've really felt my BPD. I've had lots of other shit going on but my BPD just hasn't been an active problem for me. I feel like the most clearly BPD symptoms for me are the social ones like splitting and stuff. Aside from those I struggle the most with dissociation and suicidality. None of these (aside from dissociation) has been a big issue for me lately. I've actually felt pretty positive about myself and how I'm doing mentally. Of course fast forward to today and we are going through it lol. Anyway I was just curious if there was anyone else on here in this section of their journey in healing.

I still feel strongly discouraged when my symptoms rear their head even though I know it's a sign of progress that it's getting farther and farther in between episodes. It just doesn't make those episodes any easier to feel even though I'm much better at how I respond to them. I also sometimes wonder in those long stretches if I really have BPD until I have one of these episodes and then it's like yeah no this is right lol.
