I have BPD, MDD, ADHD and phycotic tendencies with suspicious of ASD. I'm in a horrible confusing time in my life which I'll get to another day... it makes me so sad for me to remember BPD is also EUPD (emotionally unstable personality disorder). just reminds me really how much and often my quality of life is affected compared to others around me. Can't go one day... looking for anyone who maybe relates? advice? I'm in couseling and med service truly makes me question whether its worth it or not. but I have very young children and wouldn't leave them behind. that also makes me sadder because if they weren't here I wouldn't be either... currently spiraling in literally all aspects of my life...

We have BPD and have 2 kids. (We is cuz we also have DID) I remember a couple years ago, like.. 5 months into covid I think, we were really struggling with how to handle our kids autism. Like the behaviors and stuff. It's not really about the autism though. We kept having thoughts about "how could we possibly be helping them", and "what would happen if we weren't there". And how we couldn't trust anyone to raise them the way that we wanted to. It felt like we were out of things to try. Considered trying to find a family for them even, and brought it up to our therapist. She very kindly walked us through realizing that we were *very* blind to the fact that there were things that we hadn't thought of. Other solutions to the things we were experiencing with our kids that just hadn't crossed our mind. And reminding ourselves of that is what got us through. "There has to be something I haven't thought of yet." That's honestly why I downloaded this app. Not just for parenting, but for the other things too 😅

  @clockworksystem how did you know you had DID too? I've honestly always wondered but it's already so hard for mental health professionals to take me seriously and being tested isn't an option right now. It's really less about the kids I'm going through as it is my relationship. I find myself irritated easily though at them. I take step and minutes back to handle myself but my oldest is at the stage of constantly throwing a fit it seems. It all just adds. It feels like it's two very different people inside my head buy I always chalked it to being my BPD... I share so many symptoms with so many things I never know.
