Moodtrack social diary is pretty good. It has a social media feel to it but you can set your moods to private and add notesDoes anyone know of any mood tracking apps? Most of the ones I’ve seen you log it for the day but I need one that’s either every hour or an unlimited amount of times
It’s understandable you feel that way, because CBT doesn’t typically work for people with BPD and isn’t usually recommended or referred to by a GP. I’m glad to hear it has helped you in some way though, perhaps you would be able to try a new form of therapy now your CBT sessions are up? Are you from the UK? There are different options of therapy on the NHS if you have an official diagnosis xIm onto my last 2 sessions of CBT. It's been nice to talk to someone.
But does anyone else think the homework is so stupid.
Write down my daily worries, look at them at the end of the night and throw them away... It doesn't work like that.
The only part I've enjoyed and got something out of is telling my therapist what my intrusive thoughts are saying and she explains my brain and tries to explain why I'm getting anxious.
I had a really bad couple of days and my mental health feels as shit as day 1 instead of 6 months later. But I know with my BPD I could feel close to fine/coping again in a few days.
Sorry guys I needed a rant xx
I think it was because I self referred for help so they started. I haven't been diagnosed by my gp in person but by over the phone consultations due to covid. I think I need to definitely try something else thank you for your adviceIt’s understandable you feel that way, because CBT doesn’t typically work for people with BPD and isn’t usually recommended or referred to by a GP.

I'll deffo look into it this afternoon thank youAgree with the above @L.S CBT isn't the best for BPD. CAT and/or DBT tend to be more useful.
If you feel like you still need help then be honest with them and ask, sadly we need to look out for ourselves a lot as it’s very easy to be pushed aside or lost in the system. Best of luck with everything and take care of yourselfI think it was because I self referred for help so they started.

Hi Watermelon. It's nice to see you around again. I'm sorry you've been struggling though.Hi everyone. Hope it’s ok that I bumped this thread
I was diagnosed with BPD 8 years ago and I’ve had my mental health under control the last few years, up until now, I really feel like I’m losing track of everything and I’m slipping into my own ways and I am struggling. I’ve been in touch with my GP for further help but felt maybe talking to others with the same issues might help? Thank you if anyone does read this

You don't have to answer but only if you feel comfortable saying, what are these little things? It makes sense we would react in ways that are familiar or bring comfort in a way.@rainbowlemon Hi my love 🤍 thank you so much for replying. I’m safe right now yes, I don’t feel like causing any harm to myself - more just the little things you think that are bad and the things it makes you do and destroy - is what i’m struggling with the mostif that makes sense? Basically i feel like I’m going on self destruct mode
@gossipgirlxxo thank you love 🤍 i’m lying on the sofa with my favourite blanket
I’m okay, thank you for checking on me. 🤍 I am feeling a lot better mentally but still down in the dumps really. I had a falling out with a good friend yesterday that was my fault tbh and it really triggered me. I’ve got a lot of stuff going on also and i just feel like im spiralling a bit@ Just a bump to check how you are doing Watermelon?
If it's torn it can be stitched up. It can be uncomfortable, but it's possible to repair friendships.I’m okay, thank you for checking on me. 🤍 I am feeling a lot better mentally but still down in the dumps really.

I'm sorry you had to go through that experience and you didn't deserver . You managed to get yourself out a situation you didn't feel safe in. You didn't do anything wrong. Can you go for a walk with your daughter?I have complex PTSD due to childhood traumas. I have had a lot of CBT in the past 20 years and thankfully many of my coping mechanisms are so much healthier now. I haven’t had a depressive episode for 3 years either. What has helped is stopping speaking to my father as he just triggers me constantly.
Last night I was out with my partner and daughter and a man triggered me in a supermarket. I got to his till in a shop and put my few things on the belt. He didn’t look at me or speak during this but I just handed him my reward card etc, going through the normal motions. He then asked to say something to me and when I leaned in, he said something unpleasant to me. It was the kind of thing most people would get angry and say WTF? I froze up, worried I was going to cry felt panicky but then paid and ran away straight out the shop. I just wanted to get out of the shop. My partner was behind me and saw it all happen and made a huge (but calm) complaint about this guy. My daughter was there so I wasn’t able to explain why this triggered me but men making me feel uncomfortable is so scary to me. Like I would never feel safe enough to confront a man in these situations, stand up for myself or anything. I didn’t do anything wrong but obviously now it’s on replay about what I did do wrong.
Thanks, I feel ok now as I am away from the situation and I know my partner kind of gets it so he stood up for me. When I met him I fell in love as I realised how bloody kind he is and that’s what I needed in my life! I have only felt safe with very few men, ever.I've also been in therapy and have been working on myself for almost 5 years now. I'm glad I'm not the person I used to be, but I've never
been violent towards anyone.
I'm sorry you had to go through that experience and you didn't deserver . You managed to get yourself out a situation you didn't feel safe in. You didn't do anything wrong. Can you go for a walk with your daughter?
