Oops. I wasn't talking about therapy. Are there any support groups that meet where you could sit in and maybe just listen? Maybe regarding depression or anxiety, or even bpd? There are organizations here that I'd probably do well in exploring, although that seems like an enormous leap for me right now.I know that you feel that therapy is a regular suggestion in "things you can do to help yourself", and that it isn't possible for some of us. I don't even post on the Psychology board often, because although I'm finding therapy helpful, I visit my T every 2 weeks, just like I do my pdoc. It's up to me to carry on and do the Work on my own. Even when I feel vastly incapable of doing it.
Maybe review the bpd skills manual with us when we go through it on that board? Refresh yourself on the exercises that have helped in the past? Meditate, take a break from drinking (sorry, that's my personal pet peeve since it distorts my thinking so much)... there are many things that I do on my own to help myself. I don't mean to imply that you aren't doing any of these things (I haven't the faintest idea), but I'm just throwing out some suggestions.
And don't worry about writing here - that's what this place is all about.
