Comfort For Suffering Souls

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a RECOVERING BPD... PTSD..., I want this myspace to be a place where I can express everything I have learned about how to overcome "thoughts, feelings, behaivors, conflict." All over the internet I am finding such dismal accounts of BPD's and how hopeless we are...that is not the case! I want to find encouragers and be an encourager... It was so hard for me to find hope in this world after I was diagnosed... combinded with my therapy, meds, humility, and my own will power... I've found out that there is RECOVERY...it just takes alot of hard-work. I also don't want this myspace to only be about BPD's but anyone who is in the middle of emotional conflict and turmoil... I don't think one should wait until any one symptom is extreme to find and develop COPING SKILLS.This layout is from iloveyourspace.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Myspace GraphicsKeeping a diary of our daily moods and emotional highs and lows can help us to realize what is either keeping us down, or helping us up. Use the following chart as a guideline to rate your mood for today.

0 - Today I was / am in Crisis or are I need emergency care.

1 - I am holding on, but needing help today.
2 - Still able to care for myself, but could use extra support.
3a - Low, depressed mood. Able to handle it, but support is appreciated.
3b - Anxious, hypervigilant, over-reactive.
3c - Feeling angry, frustrated, bitter, resentful and enraged
(Note that any of the 3's can exist together).
4 - OK. Able to do daily chores and hold emotions together.
5 - OK and a little more. Feeling confident, able to face the day, felt productive.
6 - Good. Better than usual. Emotions were in balance and felt good throughout the day.
7 - Doing great. I am happy with my day and myself.
8 - Doing more great than I think I should be - (possibly) hypomanic, manic.
9 - Manic episode needing attention or hospital care.
