Heyas, I see the date was a while ago and I hope Ur doing alright. Just wanted to say that you are doing amazing that you had the courage and insight to know U needed help and to be admitted into hospital to get the help and medication you need!! Mum's are amazing at doing "mum guilt" and I don't know how to get rid of it, but be assured that U have done what needed to be done. You needed to "put your oxygen mask on and sort yourself out before U can help others" (like your child). Life isn't a fairytale and sometimes reality sucks. I found that a bunch of skills I picked up from outpatient programs really helped me such as "Radical acceptance" which is always hard to do, but I have to admit, it creates results. Hope things have progressed in a better direction. Feel free to drop a message if you want to chat. Take care!! ... View more

Hi, (this is my first message on here so hopefully this is how this works..) I'm also a parent and on my journey to becoming a single one >.<!! My child is only in primary school, however I clicked because of the BPD in Ur subject. I was doing an outpatient program called DBT which teaches skills on how to live with DBT and yet still cope with what the world throws at you. If U want to vent, this seems like a great place just I'm not sure how frequently people log in. Hopefully there are enough people logging in to make this a great support place. Take care ☺️ ...
