Considering Residential Care for Mental Health Issues

hey new to app. i’m 19, trans, got bpd and quite a few other things i guess. i’m starting to feel like i can’t take care of myself, maybe residential would work?? however i don’t want to leave my partner and area of living, don’t want to be stripped of freedom. i’ve been to rehab for 6 months before and i can’t live like that again. i just think it maybe would be better for everyone else if i go away?

Hello. Im 28 and trans I also have bpd. And the thinking everyone would be better off if you go away is a symptom of bpd. I promice that isn't the case. I can also say that a residential program didn't work for me. It actually made me so much worse. But going to therepy every week sometimes 2 times a week helps a ton. Keep your head up and if you ever need someone to talk to hit me up.
