hi jenny,:-)
i'm glad to have been able to share that with you. i do have a serious side sometimes.:) anyway, i have confidence that you'll beat this. having been where you are, maybe that's why i felt a protectiveness toward you instinctively when you came to this site. you are such a sweet and intelligent person. glad i could possibly be of assistance jenny. and, absolutely, you *will* get better..promise.:)
that's very good, what you said, about it being psychological, and about it resulting from poor parenting.
<The truth was that my mom wanted me to drink the soup because she loved me but the way I saw it, she was punishing me and didn't love me. I wished for kidnappers to come and take me away.
well, iiiii don't consider her locking you out of the house to be loving you. and i can imagine that being locked out like that would be very traumatic and invalidating to a child. her locking you out of the house was abuse, sweetie. it's ok to realize that. i'm not saying your mom is a bad person. but her behavior was probably not always that great..
<I remember self-harming as a child...nothing serious though.
right. i wasn't sure if you had even self-harmed before..i think the percentage of BPDers who self-harm may actually be small..i'd have to look it up. btw, you don't have to self-harm to have BPD.
anyway, hope you have a great day.:) and thanks for your response.
take care, kid:)
