Hi there @Asf,

I'm one of the moderators on the SANE Forums, I just wanted to pop by and say Welcome, and well done on your first post 🙂 

Thanks for sharing your story regarding BPD, it sounds like it's been a tough journey for you. Especially with three kids as well! It must be so frustrating for you feeling so exhausted all the time when you're going through the depression.

I guess I was wondering based on your post, what kind of support are you looking for on the Forums? We have quite a number of members who are struggling similarly with a diagnosis of BPD. Have you managed to check out any of those posts? 

If not, it might be a good idea to start here and here. There are members who have also posted here and here. I hope you get the support you are looking for @Asf. Thanks again for sharing!

@Asf. That feeling of not wanting or having the energy to even try - I get that. I've been there with my depression and anxiety. And it can be frightening to feel like this.
I'm wondering what support you have around you.
Do you have a good gp, psychologist & psychiatrist? What about family and friends who could come and help with the kids or housework - when you are struggling?
In the middle of a depressive episode, if can be hard to see or believe, but this moment, this feeling will pass. It is not forever.
What can you do to distract yourself. For the nect 5 minutes? Breathing. Simply focusing on your breathe. Hanging out the washing. Having a shower. Is any of that possible for you to do now?
Others on this site who are living with BPD will respond to your post soon & hopefully will be of help.
Wishing you well.

Medication was increased a few weeks ago so mood is a lot better but when you get to your lowest point gosh thats a scary place thanks for the support guys 😘

@Asf. Hopefully the medication will continue to lift your mood.
It's also good to also see a psychologist as well - so you can learn some coping techniques that help with your anxiety.
