As a younger person with BPD, my mother, also diagnosed, tells me that I’m very lucky to have found out fairly early in life, and I do have to agree. I have just about every symptom and trait of borderline and although I see how it affects me and those around me especially negatively, it seems like I am never able to truly understand and help myself, always in a cycle of small, good moments and then large, intense, and terrible moments (which I know is tied to my thinking styles, also something to work on). I’m wondering, what are some things that have worked for some of you guys that I can try to actually make a difference in my life on a moment-to-moment or day-to-day basis? Any and all advice appreciated :)
side note: I understand that working on myself will take a long, long time with lots of effort, I just genuinely do not know where to start after being in such a negative mindset for so long
