I was diagnosed with BPD a few months before university started and I’ve been living in denial about it as I feel a lot of shame. It’s really starting to affect every aspect of my life and I want to find better coping strategies so I can live more comfortably in myself. 

I’m specifically looking for books that I can read that have specific coping mechanisms, or perhaps if there’s a book with DBT skills in that I can follow! Any other websites, social platforms and other tips would be greatly appreciated! I’m not ready to find another therapist as summers coming and I’ll be moving home over that time to work on my mental wellbeing, so I’ll look then!
