Be Anxious For Nothing

There's a little secret about therapy that many therapists might finally be relieved to share with people.

You can check comprehensive symptoms and details about Borderline Personality Disorder in one of my writings: "Mythbursting Anxiety, BPD".

It's something important for you to know. Oftentimes, many of us keep getting passed around and therapists don't want to deal with our issues. It's frustrating, isn't it?

We spend so much time searching for therapy, finally finding someone, and then they say they can't see us. It's like they're saying, "Thanks for nothing!" This situation can happen frequently, and it only adds to our struggle with feeling abandoned, especially if we have Borderline Personality Disorder.

So why does this happen? Why do we feel like we're the odd ones out? Well, it's because therapists are taught in school how challenging it can be to treat someone with Borderline Personality Disorder. It's almost like they should warn us, instead of just saying, "You don't want to have too many Borderline patients! They're really difficult to handle!" And yes, it's true. Borderline individuals can be volatile, with their moods constantly changing. They feel completely out of control, fearing that others will hurt them and having the urge to hurt themselves.

Do you understand what I'm saying? It's logical, isn't it? However, some therapists are not afraid of treating patients with Borderline Personality Disorder. It's actually not that difficult to handle, and that's why its recommended that you get a DBT workbook and join a DBT group.

DBT, which stands for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, is truly amazing. It's a lifesaver for individuals who struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder because it helps us gain control over our emotions instead of feeling controlled by them.

So all those intense fears of abandonment, mood swings, suicidal thoughts, and other characteristics associated with Borderline can be managed. We can recognize when they're coming and use mindfulness techniques to bring ourselves back to a calmer state.

That's why people tend to avoid individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder and why there is a negative stigma attached to it. But in reality, it's not as bad as it seems. We just need to work together and put effort into using our DBT workbook.

I know it can be challenging and overwhelming, but once we start working on it, we will feel more at ease. And therapists will be more willing to help us.

I just dislike the fact that Borderline Personality Disorder has such a negative reputation, but people don't talk about it. They don't inform us about it. They simply say things like, "We can no longer see you" or "I need to refer you to someone else.”

Doesn't that just make us feel awful? Isn't it interesting to have a small glimpse into why that happens? I hope that explanation makes sense and provides some clarity on what BPD is, why it has a negative reputation, how it is diagnosed, and how we can improve it.

So, go online! There is an excellent workbook available for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Take your time and explore many options. Don't just read the books, make sure you put the advice into practice and get a friend or a partner for accountability of your actions.

Look for DBT groups in your area. With in-depth study and awareness of the symptoms, characteristic nature, ways of managing BPD, and social interaction with people living with or experiencing such conditions, it can be managed and controlled to the minimum.

People living with heightened cases of anxiety are a crucial part of society, helping them to understand their emotions and corresponding reactions is paramount.
