Does anyone have good days, bad days and worse days? Like one minute you could quite happily enjoy life to the max and the next you just want to end it all? How do you stop that feeling from happening or better how do you stop that feeling from bothering you? I suffer from borderline personality disorder so I feel everything in one go. I was doing ok I actually finally felt stable but it hasn't lasted long unfortunately.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you.
Hi Catt,
I hope your mood has improved and you’re all round general well being is good!
Having been known To the mental health services for 16 years what I have found that helps me when I’m having a down day is doing things I loved doing when I was younger, before life became about work and bills! I’m a big sports fan so it’s always going to the park kicking and a ball or playing some basketball! The more consistently I go the more I improve! try and do a move I used to be able to do 15 years and keep practicing until I get! Set little goals! Eventually I start playing with other people and I think I can actually go pro (thats the bipolar CoMing out loooool)!!! If sports isn’t your thing maybe watching an old tv series you used to watch, maybe it’s Neighbours, Due South, Ally McBeal or Mork and Mindy! Everything is on youtube or the Dvd’s are real cheap (look in charity shops, there dirt cheap). Do what makes you happy, go back to or find a vice that keeps you entertained!
Living with a Mental health condition can be a lonely place if you allow it to be. As hard and as harsh as it may sound but we have to help ourselves first and foremost! All the support we get (and I say we as I’m no different in this forum) we must be honest to the people who are trying to help us or it’s pointless and you’re only really lying to yourself!
keep your chin, today is the tomorrow you was worrying about yesterday and remember tomorrow will always come! Take one day at a time, Be confident, Be great, Be you ! ❤️❤️❤️ Kof x
