@WC & JBR - I agr...THANK YOU ALL FOR VISITING!<br /><br />@WC & JBR - I agree, I think the ability to set and hold boundaries is vital to my recovery and I'm so excited I can learn how to do it!<br /><br />@Tricia - that's interesting about the different tone to my posts! I definitely feel "better" with the therapy (and without the large doses of meds), like I can think and communicate in a clearer way. Long way to go, still, but I'm on track.<br /><br />@Drifter - I thought of you a number of times during the seminar, as you'd recently mentioned meditation. The teacher talked about not fighting the thoughts, just welcoming them and letting them come and go, and eventually they become fewer. Thanks for the congratulations!<br /><br />@Amanda - welcome back! Yes, as you commented I was only diagnosed at the start of this year, although have had 2 breakdowns and numerous bouts of therapy and medication prior to that! Finally knowing I have Borderline Personality Disorder is a blessing, and learning DBT has just made all the difference. I hope you're right, that I will smile more often some day!Borderline Lilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988037918955358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7641320093790091631.post-33875508458198889892009-06-26T10:09:53.470+08:002009-06-26T10:09:53.470+08:00HI Lil,

I am also proud of you about telling your boss that you wouldn't work more hours. Sometimes I take on to much too. Also the friends thing is kind of hard. It sounds to me like you have recently been diagnosed with a mental illness. I don't know because I just started reading your blog, but I have had a mental illness for nine and half years. Well, I have had it longer than that, but that's when I was digaonsed. Anyway, there is a point in therapy where the person you were before and the person you are now blend together. Trust me you will smile again!<br />Hugs,<br />LAMandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388649891410858782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7641320093790091631.post-42378019473282618432009-06-25T21:19:20.449+08:002009-06-25T21:19:20.449+08:00The seminar you went to sounds really interesting....The seminar you went to sounds really interesting. I wish I could have gone myself.<br /><br />Meditation has been a struggle for me. I find it hard to stay focused on my breath and not my wandering thoughts.<br /><br />I hope you're able to move your friendship to a new level. I'm also glad that you're settling in towards a "real" you.<br /><br />Congratulations on your wonderful changes at work. You're moving forward yet setting boundaries too. The payraise is just great! Good for you. It must make you feel good to get such positive feedback.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634190384284402700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7641320093790091631.post-45781979652533310252009-06-25T20:41:43.546+08:002009-06-25T20:41:43.546+08:00I'm happy to see you are moving in a positive ...I'm happy to see you are moving in a positive direction. I'm no good at relationships of any kind so my input would be worthless. Of course you didn't really ask for it anyway. :)<br /><br />There is a different tone to the posts you publish now and the ones you did when I first started reading your blog. <br /><br />I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed, but if you are gaining tools to help you to be healthier then I guess it is a good trade-off. <br /><br />You are always missed when you are away, but as JBR said, you never need to apologize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7641320093790091631.post-21523832103084033732009-06-25T17:31:52.363+08:002009-06-25T17:31:52.363+08:00Great for the boundary setting there Lil!

First of all, you have...This is a great post, Lil!<br /><br />First of all, you have nothing to lose by contacting this H person and it shows a lot of strength and character for you to want to be honest with her and attempt to evolve your relationship. So go you.<br /><br />Also, congrats on the work stuff. That's excellent. And boundary-setting is so key - I'm glad you stuck to your guns.Wandering Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478039463695542535noreply@blogger.com
