Borderline Personality Disorder ( ) is a complex mental illness that severely impacts a person’s ability to regulate their emotions.
This loss of emotional control can increase impulsive behaviours and affects how a person feels about themselves. It can also impact their relationships with others.
If you have BPD, and are suffering from a bad day, some coping skills include ⤵️
— wrap up in a blanket and watch your favourite TV show
— write all your negative feelings on a piece of paper, then tear it up
— listen to music that soothes or uplifts you
— let yourself cry or sleep
— write a comforting letter to the part of yourself that’s feeling sad or alone
— remind yourself that feelings come in waves
