Hi,
I would like to reintroduce myself as it has been a couple of years since I have been on here. My partner has BPD and we have a son (my step son) together and a baby on the way. Pretty tough times at the moment. Hoping I might find some support here.
Cheers

Hi @nashy
Thanks for the welcome. My partner is still in the early stages of DBT and is yet to fully benefit from it. I guess what is causing some stress and pain for me is that she is currently pregnant and each thing, the BPD and pregnancy on its own is extremely tough for someone to go through let alone both at the same time. I feel extremely helpless for both her and our baby.

Hi @outlander
Thanks for the support. I might try and contact these and see if they can help. I have recently been to a therapist but as I couldn't give them a definitive answer of what I wanted to achieve out of the sessions that I should only look at coming back when I had worked it out. Hopefully one of these can help.

Hi @outlander
I won't lie I was fairly disheartened after meeting with the therapist. This was my second appointment and I was under the same impression as you. It left me feeling like I didn't really have the right to be there. I had a look at mensline after your recommendation and I think I'll touch base with them first before seeking out another therapist appointment.
