It's a holiday and I'm at loose ends. I can do anything I want to do -- I've given myself permission to do what I want. But I don't want to do anything. I want to go to bed, but can't do that all day. Don't seem to have the patience to read or watch TV, can't muster the energy to go to the movies.
It's a luxury I don't always have -- time to do what I want to do and the means to do it. I wish I could appreciate it more.

Borderline personality disorder is a diagnosis full of pain and fear. Yet it also brings relief, for it is highly curable with a combination of work, desire and time. What doesn't help is the proliferation of erroneous and offensive information about the disorder. If you see such information on the Web, tell me and I'll counter it here. I'm an expert on how it feels to have this disorder, and how it feels to have the World's Best Therapist(tm) treat me with dialectical behavioral therapy.

- Borderline personality disorder is a diagnosis full of pain and fear. It also brings relief, for it is highly curable with a combination of work, desire and time. What doesn't help is the proliferation of erroneous and offensive information about the disorder. If you see such information on the Web, tell me and I'll counter it here. I'm an expert on how it feels to have this disorder, and how it feels to have the World's Best Therapist(tm) treat me with dialectical behavioral therapy, an amazing treatment developed at the University of Washington by Dr. Marsha Linehan. That's what you'll find in my blog -- upfront information countering some of the misinformation out there. You will also see into my heart as I answer these things, and as I live, for I am emotionally sensitive, one of the traits of this disorder. I want this blog to be one of the places I don't have to be ashamed of having BPD. One of the places where I can be Just Me.

Ah yes. I know that feeling of not wanting to do anything. I often retreat and want to hide from the world. My therapist tells me that it doesn't matter WHAT I WANT TO DO (which is to hide under the covers and feel worse). She tells me it is just a feeling. She tells me what I NEED to DO is get out there anyway and participate in activities.
I know it's the hardest thing in the world to muster up the motivation to do anything when you are feeling like crap. But get out there. Do something. Anything. Otherwise you're just stuck in the rut.
Take care of yourself.
Hugs
