Good morning! Hope everyone is doing well. I would love to hear from you. I am sooooo disconnected these days and limited to BPD groups when it comes to disclosure regarding my issues.
My daughter is more knowledgeable about this than I am and has encouraged me to try new types of therapy but after 55 years of negative behaviors I am so burned out I just want to sleep forever. I rarely leave my home and have no-one that can relate to me so I sure hope we can get a strong support group going for us.
We really need to lean on each other, at least I know I need to have humans I can turn to besides "professionals". I am about a month away from my disability hearing, almost completely broke (1 more month of phone services and some gas funds), and owe almost 10,000 to family,friends and my landlord because of this crap. Most of my family and friends all disappeared the minute I asked for help and could no longer help them. My daughter is the ONLY person that ever calls me or sends me a text message just to see how I am doing.
How are you doing? Are your basic needs getting met? Do you have a strong support system? Are your symptoms getting better or worse with time?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I seem to be in a good place today. Yesterday I felt empty and alone. I spend a lot of time alone, but I have support from my family at the moment. My emotional needs are mostly being met when I do talk to them. If you need more support, I can listen and do understand.

Glad to hear you have a strong support system. Unfortunately for me I did not know that I was being used by my brother or my mother until I needed them so my emotions are raw and I have a void in my life where they used to be. My brother and I live in the same house but we have separate living spaces now because when I admitted to myself that he is narcissistic and not at all concerned about my needs I moved out of our shared space which was when he proved me right. I love this place. It is really the weirdest thing I ever saw. It is like living in an indoor tree house and only 2 houses are visible from our place.
My biggest issue right now is there is absolutely no financial support for me so I cannot even drive to town much or go somewhere to meet new people. I try not to worry about what is going to happen the next few months especially if I get denied AGAIN.
This just magnifies the lack of help available to someone non-religious because that seems to be my only option which means I have no options because I refuse to attend a church for financial help. Anyway I am going to go do something active and get my mind onto what I can do for today.
Thanks for letting me vent/
@CreativelyMe. That does seem like a poor situation to be in. I live with my mother who is a religious fundamentalist. She drives me crazy when she talks about it and the house is filled with crosses and the quotes. As it stands, she is part of my support system for now. I recently broke up with my gf, who was a not so great person to talk to about this stuff. It will get better. If you have ever heard the term favorite person, you may be searching for that person. I seem to be doing that.
