My motto: "It is what is it, So breathe, calm down and deal"
I say it this way because no matter what life throws my way, no matter what I do it's still going to happen. Whether loss, pain, health ... don't matter. I can't yell, get mad, pout, to make whatever change to my liking. I try to think rational when I'm up against difficult situations. By thinking positive, counting my blessings and writing themselves down, and having an upbeat outlook, do I get through every hurt, let down or severe pain and not take out my emotions or pain filled brain out on anyone.

Positive Feedback Wanted

I’m in my mid 60’s and I have been with my husband for 12 years. He has ADHD and a porn addiction. This year he was finally diagnosed with BPD. He seems to have the porn addiction under control with the help of Sexaholics Anonymous, but his BPD is especially hard on me. Sometimes, I am the best thing that ever happened to me him and other times it seems everything I say irritates or upsets him. He has been seeing a therapist for his BPD, but sometimes it doesn’t seem to me like it is helping enough. I would prefer not to have to end the relationship and start over again at my age. Does anyone have anything positive or encouraging about living a happy life with someone with BPD?

Don’t underestimate what one more step can do.

One of the biggest misconceptions about healing is that you have to be strong all the time.

You don’t.

Some days, simply getting out of bed is strength.

Some days, making one phone call is strength.

Some days, choosing to stay is strength.

Recovery isn’t about making one giant leap.

It’s about showing up again and again, even when progress feels invisible.

The small steps you take today might not seem like much.

But over time, they become the person you’re becoming.

Don’t underestimate what one more step can do.

What’s one small step you’ve taken recently that you’re proud of?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.
