I have Borderline Personality Disorder and it has not been particularly good existing so far. As far as therapy goes, in my district (in Kerala), I am trying to find a solid therapist trained in DBT. Shit is exhausting, are there any practical way of dealing with this that doesn’t involving forking over an obscene amount of money? I seem to have a lot of ADHD symptoms as well. Quite exhausting.
Adding fascist India shenanigans on top of it, I am really tired. Reading theory is helping and I understand that things are changeable but how do I not fall into doomerism? especially in a country where every month feels more fascistic than the last.
Any comrades with BPD or any other mental health struggles here? How do you cope?


Is it this one DBT Therapy Skills Workbook
I was planning to go through this one.
Probably. A quick glance it seems very Western - centric and if you’re short on funds, it could mean you have to find alternatives for distraction.
