Coping with Overlapping Symptoms of PTSD and BPD

I think I may have ptsd but definitely have diagnosed bpd

Having bpd makes me think us having more energy then others so when no one’s around I put my head phones in and sing my heart out and dance till it drains me out so I don’t feel so much

A big thing for me, is being able to go find a space where its only me and I can yell, scream, or cry and just let a bunch of emotions flow. When I can I try having my SO, a family member, or a friend be on the sideline when im done and need the physical comfort.

I think most people with BPD have PTSD as BPD is most commonly caused by childhood trauma. But yes. It is scary and uncomfortable and sometimes I just shut down for days because I never keep myself in mind and I will run myself down. I go from running myself ragged helping everyone in my life for days on end to not answering the phone because I'm sleeping for 12-18 hours because I'm completely spent and have no motivation

While I'm not great at coping with them, what I try to think of identifying each emotion im feeling and categorizing it, from there I can better understand what I'm feeling exactly and why.

I hear ya! I feel like so many people have bpd because of ptsd. I do a full spectrum of care including medications and therapy, relying or trying to on my support system and keeping up with a good spiritual routine. Grounding techniques for me can be helpful, my favorite is naming things in the room to keep me in the moment
