I'm at one of the lowest points of my life while everyone else around me is excited. I just graduated college. high grades and all. Due to all the stress of finishing school, thinking about the future and other stress going on in life, the past few months have been making my BPD get worse than ever. I want to give up. I'm getting drastic and abusive to myself when it comes to drinking, medicine, etc. I don't even want to try finding a job. All this openness terrifies me. I know I need something to live for, but I don't know what that is. I keep hoping something can happen to make me happier and take my mind off the bad and turn for the positive. Someone please help?
You need to take a brake, even staying at home, having a little more sleep in the morning, no pressure to be on time. After few weeks, you will feel stronger, more relax, and then you can start thinking about your life and your future. Do not put too much pressure upon yourself, take one step at a time. Wishing you well. God bless you.
I agree, take it one day at a time and find ways to take a little stress off of you at a time until you feel better. I got a cat when things started on me like that yrs ago. It helped initially but slowly I found it is more stressful to have another thing to care for when you are in a depressive state. It may help you though. I cut myself all the time, I don't know what to do to stop it, but it has been suggested to me to try meditating when I feel as though I need to.. I have tried, I am having a little bit of a hard time with it, I think it may just take a while to get right, or I am to dumb to do it right...Idk.. I wish you luck and good thoughts... If you need to talk drop me a line on here.... *hugs
