theblackdog

Two months after a break-up with my first relationship that lasted more than 8 weeks (we were together a year), I'm now struggling to get him out of my mind. All of the memories, the sweet things, the nice things and compliments. One minute I love him and want him back, the next I hate him. One thing is for sure it friggin sucks and I'm struggling with managing myself each day.

What chathartic exercises do you do in my position? What positive coping mechanisms do you have? How do you cope with and get out the intense feelings? When distractions arent distracting enough, how do you occupy your mind? #BPD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #MentalHealth #personalitydisorder #DarkDay #NegativeThoughts #copingstrategies #Anxiety #Depression #LostLove #theblackdog

Try and make #Depression a friend not an enemy. It’s always easier to comfort a friend than fight an enemy. They used to call it #theblackdog so think of the illness as a pet! ❤️

I am surrounded
With love and light and warmth
With passion for the words that comes out of my mouth
With a desire to look into my heart
I am aware of this
But I stare and I see walls
I see barbed wire
I see an empty room
Filled with black smoke
I am on a ship where the ropes have become knotted
I am in a pool where the water is not still
I swallow the water and sink under
Because when I'm dancing with black dog
I'm dancing alone #theblackdog #Depression #Isolation
