Embracing a positive outlook and managing your mental illness often feels like an insurmountable mountain that everyone with BPD, and other types of mental illness, has to contend with. I understand the fear of doing things differently. The anxiety and sadness about the world not being the place you expect it to be. Know that your BPD uses this against you. It uses your Complex BPD beliefs, behaviors, and patterns to keep you locked in place with a hazy outlook for a different future, and this haziness keeps your BPD strengthened and in control.

The overconfidence in the negative is like an old blanket wrapped around you, perhaps by someone you thought loved you, someone you wanted to love, or perhaps you put on yourself. I understand that there is loneliness under the blanket at the base of this mountain. Know that you’re not alone in your effort and challenge. Others stand at the base of this mountain of change and feel they can’t do it. This is a big part of what keeps your BPD in place. Whether that blanket is the voice is mom, dad, brother, sister, cousin, friend, lover, or yourself you have to push it aside and take that first step up that mountain.

Push back by challenging the negative. When you sense the negative creeping in, like a secret spider on your soul or a snake around your neck, capture that thought and challenge it with positive and kind pushbacks. You’re BPD tells you can’t and don’t deserve love, push back by recognizing the love, compassion, and big heart you have to give to a worthy other. Your BPD tells you you’re worthless, push back by recognizing the skills you have, how you help others, or go out and perform random acts of kindness.
