I'm a 21yr female, I have borderline and Bipolar disorder.

Yes, someone can help you. A therapist. Are you in treatment?

I have a therapist. She's only suggested things like mindfulness. Which is helpful. but I don't feel like its enough. Why am I like this .fuck.

It's ok, honey; you're perfect :^)

In that case, continue doing what you're doing. It should get better. Alternatively, I heard that DBT has good results with BPD patients, so you may want to look into it.

hey, it's cool. you're you. there are people who love you and are willing to help you. none of these feelings is your fault. there are that will make you feel good even when it doesn't seem like anything will help.
there's ALWAYS something better down the line.

>why do you get BPD
child abuse, neglect, or abandonment. or "invalidation", which I suspect is a word for emotional child abuse

people validating you makes you feel safer and like you're not broken or bad inside

try a different psychiatrist.

Think about trying medication. Medication will help calm down your "DANGER" anxiety when it comes to abandonment, anger, and just general anxiety.

You're still going to crave validation but the meds might help with the anxiety you get when you aren't being validated.

you are enough.

any one positive comment or compliment you've been given before is ever-present. the nice things you've heard are still true.
