That said, you better do the work to heal.
Attending therapy, taking medication if needed, and practicing solid self-care are great places to start.
Feelings arent facts.
Charles Etoroma
Your feelings are valid, but they arent always the most factual of entities.
You mayfeellike a total piece of shit but that doesnt mean youarea total piece of shit.
Feelings are powerful and can also be important signals.
But while feelings are important communicators, they can also be incredible distractions.
When you have BPD, your senses are heightened.
Its easy to let your intense experience of emotion overshadow the true reality of the situation at hand.
Instead of viewing the world solely through an emotional lens, learn how to take things at face value.
Focus on examining the evidence without ascribing judgment.
Everything is as it should be.
Radical acceptance is the process of taking everything as is.
Practicing radical acceptance is not a means of loving difficult situations or emotions.
Instead, it is allowing them to simply exist without resistance.
Radical acceptance helps you realize that everything makes sense.
Everything is as it should be, based on everything that has led up to this moment.
Let this bring you peace.
Everyone is doing their best (including you).
Lean into compassion and stop assuming the worst.
It doesnt protect you.
It just makes you miserable.
Relationships are about fit, not worthiness.
You deserve love, compassion, and support.
Its not that you arent worth loving because they dont know how to love you.
Its because they simply arent the right fit.
Instead, invest in those who invest in you.
Focus on the people who love you, who understand you, and who hold space for you.
Practice your coping skills beyond crisis moments.
Youre not a bad person.
Despite what you may feel, youre not a bad person.
You have been through hell and back and then still go back to visit on occasion.
Youve been doing your best to survive.
Youre a miracle for being here.
You are loved, you are important, you matter.
You deserve to get better.
Give yourself the chance to heal.
Its the most important work youll ever do.
