Recovering BPD Sufferers More Likely To Marry & Have Kids.

…The bottom line is, everyone should know that people with BPD can successfully marry or live with a partner in a stable relationship and become parents. However, if they do these things while they are still acutely ill and when they are young, it is not as likely to turn out as well as if they wait until they symptomatically and psychosocially improve quite a bit, and get a bit older and calmer—[in which case]it is quite likely to turn out well.”…

Nightmare Solutions

We have all had nightmares. Almost everyone gets them once in a while; adults as well as children however, people suffering with BPD report them in abundance and to a degree that they become negative, life impacting events.

Breathing

“We know breathing is life sustaining, can’t live long without breathing however, you might not know that we can use breathing as a tool to feel calmer, more in control of emotions. Just take one or two deep breathes right now and exhale slowly each time – notice how you feel. Research at the National Institutes of Health suggests that breathing slowly for a few minutes a day is enough to be a health benefit…”

A Future Full of Happiness

If you have been diagnosed with BPD or if you feel you may have this disorder you probably feel extremely frightened about the future. You may even feel hopeless…”

Reinforcement

“…Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches that the proper use of positive reinforcement can produce near miraculous results when interfacing with BPD sufferers. In practice, positive reinforcement is far more effective than negative reinforcement when dealing with virtually any creature, be it human, canine, etcetera (Cats are excluded from this generalization as it would appear they just don’t give a crap about anything we say or do)….”

BPD Bookshop

“Over the past few years a tremendous number of books about Borderline Personality Disorder have been published. We have personally read and evaluated many works. The majority of publications are not very helpful for those who are trying to interface effectively BPD sufferers.
