Gem as much as I enjoy watching your You Tube channel, and finding your voice very soothing...Do you think it is helping your mental health? I couldn’t do what you do, it would mentally drain me to the point of being in crisis myself I think. Don’t worry about your videos being not always posted on time etc....You come first and anyone with bpd knows one minute we are fine, the next perhaps in crisis. Just keep yourself well and safe. You will get through this rough patch ...And we will always be hear waiting....Hugs
Hi Kate thanks for your wise words. At the moment I don't think it's helping me at all but on the flip side it gives me a purpose and without it I would be lost. It's a tough one but I'm going to be much less busy when the 31 days of BPD is over. Thanks for your concern you are so kind and lovely. I hope you are ok my friend. Thanks for your support. Massive hugs x
The Little Blue Pot well I dunno what area of UK your in... but there is a thing down south London called The recovery college... it's got various groups e.g Living beyond depression, taking back control, and any others and is what I been doing the past 5 months.... it's based at Springfield ...Sounds like a nuthouse don't it haha! It's under St George's adult mental health team.... Anyhow I'm waffling but maybe it will help you to know that groups aren't such a bad idea... just do as many that ring ya bell... but don't over do the groups...coz expect a burnout...it's back to that balancing act again isn't it. Just know your loved by your friends n family.... big hugs and positive vibes... and just so u know.... I can relate to the bad thoughts... I truly can... but u can't allow them to set up home in your mind. I'm so glad you spoke out and got help... it will inspire others to do the same x take care & take your time looking after yaself n hope u feel better soon xx Roller coaster rides aren't always as fun as they sound xx
Hi Kimmy. Thanks so much for all your kind words you are truly awesome. I'm quite lucky where I live as I'm not too far from a recovery college so i will see if I can get on some of their courses. Thanks for the great advice and you weren't waffling at all, it was all very helpful. Massive hugs and take care of you xx
Hi Gem, I'm so sorry you've been going through such a difficult time at the moment. I know what it is like to feel sucidial iv been their myself and know what it feels like. Please try to keep your chin up 😊 (sorry if that makes you feel worse, I don't mean it too) & also stay and keep well is always the best way. Try writing in a dairy something to help you offload what you're feeling, that always helps with me, but you don't have to take my advice... always do what is best for you and what you're comfortable with, always remember you're never! alone
Hello my friend thanks for your support and words of advice, they have helped and I do feel less alone. I hope you're ok and had a good week. Thanks again. Massive hugs. Gem x
