Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi, I'm sorry you (and we!) need this group, but welcome to you. It's true, I also felt like something was really really wrong. God, I'm so glad it wasn't that I was crazy or something! So glad you're breaking free and finding yourself. I do struggle with anxiety, depression, fear (big time). I'm seeing a therapist and that has helped heaps. I've also lowered my contact with my mother and that's been very very helpful. Books I recommend " Understanding the Borderline Mother " , don't remember author name " Boundaries, " Cloud/Townsend Take good care, Fiona > > Hi all! I'm new and have never joined a support group for KO BPD's before. Growing up, i always new that something was wrong with my nada but i finally had a name for it 4 years ago while in therapy. WHat a relief--she always told me I was the one who was crazy and needed to get help. It was after having a horrible panic attack followed by crippling depression that i finally went to therapy to find out why i couldn't ever please my nada or be " enough " for her. I have been in therapy now for 4 years and it has given me a whole new life. After many years and attempts at trying to have my mom " somewhat " be a part of my life with boundaries---i have decided to go NC with her and have been for 3 years now. I have read almost every book on the market about BPD's and am pretty well versed in my nada's condition, i'm on here to find support for KO BPD's like me:) It gets hard when i'm with my friends and even my hubby, who has a great, healthy family system, to not feel lonely and misunderstood. I have detached from my nada but holidays and birthdays are tough. Currently, i'm in the process of healing from trauma ( i was physically, emotionally and verbally abused by her) and i have bad anxiety and some depression at times. Does anyone else struggle with these and can you recommend a good book for me on the subject of healing from trauma. Thanks so much---looking forward to connecting with my others like me:) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
