Dear Friends, Family, Carers, and Loved Ones affected by BPD,
A very warm welcome to a LIVE CHAT right here on Sunday 3rd October 2021 7:00pm-8:30pm to discuss some of the challenges you face as you interact with someone with BPD.
A diagnosis of BPD raises many questions.
As someone with lived experience of BPD, I'd like to:
1. Share some of the things that have worked for me
2. Share some of the things that have proved more harm than good (even though it was done with all good intentions)
3. Answer any questions you may have
4. Share BPD resources
In the meantime, if you have any questions surrounding BPD, you can post it here so we can endeavour to answer it on the night.
Looking forward to seeing you all!

Hi everyone,
Thank you for joining us tonight during BPD Awareness Week 2021!
This is a great opportunity to connect and share experiences with each other surrounding your interactions with someone diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
As carers, family members and loved ones of someone with BPD (or perhaps you, yourself, have BPD), I know for a fact that life can get very challenging. Many term it ‘Walking on Eggshells’. That is, you never know what is going to ‘set-off’ one’s BPD!
Question 1
What are some experiences you’ve encountered with someone with BPD?

Hi @BPDSurvivor
It’s so lovely to hear from you
Thank you so much for inviting me to participate in this special event - it sounds incredibly interesting
Although I don’t live with Borderline Personality Disorder, I would love to strengthen my understanding about this particular mental health condition and so I’ll definitely join you!
I look forward to seeing you soon
Take care,
ShiningStar
