Also taking accountability doesn’t mean ‘omg I’m a terrible person and I’m evil’ it’s accepting that you’ve overreacted or whatever and taking steps to avoid it in the future while trying to make amends.

Coming from someone with emotional disregulation that comes in really intense and quick outbursts, I actually really agree with this, I always try to remove myself from situations/social settings if I notice a sudden mood change with myself because at the end of the day my actions will still have an impact on people

i am unmedicated and have no support or therapy for my mental illnesses. and i know, even though it can be so insanely hard, my actions are still my own and i need to take accountability for when i fail to cope properly

having trauma and mental illness is not our fault, but it's our responsibility to heal and self regulate in order to not hurt others

As someone with diagnosed BPD and bipolar I am two years into therapy and medication. Recovery is possible, it’s easy but it’s possible. I still struggle at time but I prioritize being a better person

i have bpd and while yes therapy is expensive and many whole states lack quality dbt therapists ya know is accessible? (assuming you are on this app) youtube where you can find grounding skills, basic dbt skills, meditation all of which has helped my bpd get better, not as good as a therapist but enough that im not yelling at my friends and family all the time

10/10 great video and i’m glad people like you and devon are talking more about this. years ago i was in BPD spaces online and it ended up worsening my ability of having zero emotional regulation. you see this a lot in general in mental health spaces online for a variety of conditions because, like you said, not everyone can afford mental health care and/or some people truly don’t want to recover. anyways great vid as always!

Emotional regulation and taking accountability are the most important skills to learn in order to recover from a mental illness like BPD. Also get good at apologizing and learning from your mistakes.

Your trauma is valid and you deserve care. It does not excuse bad behaviour. You did not choose your trauma, but you can choose how you deal with it

I have such poor emotional regulation and I completely understand why it’s exhausting being friends, my bf has been so supportive and made me realize how accountability is extremely important. People need to heal and not immediately give up

It also annoys me when people try one thing and if it doesn’t work give up and decide recovery is impossible. DBT is great for most people with BPD but it didn’t help for me. I’d use the skills and practice for months with no progress at all aside from slightly delaying the meltdown. But I didn’t give up because the go to treatment didn’t work- I tried other treatments. For me EMDR absolutely changed my life for the better and has made it so I’m in remission for BPD, as in I no longer meet the diagnostic criteria. Just because the medication and therapy you tried didn’t work doesn’t mean meds and therapy as a whole can’t/don’t/won’t work

DBT therapy was the best decision I’ve EVER made for help with my bpd. after one full round of it, i turned into a completely different person.

i think a lot of this would be solved if people actually took the step to go to therapy or even look into self therapy online. it’s a hard step to take (as someone who is just starting therapy) but the lack of active wanting to get better/do better is crazy to me 😭😭

People past the age of 17 will say “I have been through things most people my age haven’t” this whole Iv been hurt the most thing is exhausting and I’m tired of it. Think about everything you haven’t gone through? How can you be so sure about something like that? Just because you haven’t heard of other people’s hardships it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen.

⋆The Mind of a Borderline⋆ :
This! As someone diagnosed with bpd (I’m talking about borderline personality disorder not bipolar) I dislike seeing the people posting stuff like “you can’t get better with bpd there’s no cure” you can still put it into remission by learning dbt skills and learning emotional regulation. It doesn’t take away it away it just help you control your bpd better. And taking accountability with bpd is very important bc it help you learn your triggers and helps you become self aware to the things you do. Which in the long run helps you get on the right track to becoming better. And that’s really with any mental health disorder. If you aren’t going to put in the work to fix things how do you expect to get better.
