Living Life Well – BPD Awareness Week 2024
This week is BPD Awareness Week and the theme is Living Life Well - Recovery and BPD. Professor Brin Grenyer has a helpful and encouraging message for us.
Building Resilience – Self Validation and Boundaries
Self-validation helps to lessen our own distress, and better cope with the ups and downs in our life of supporting someone with BPD. Setting limits can help us build resilience and avoid carer burn out.
Repairing Relationships
Living with the symptoms of BPD is difficult and often this manifests in ruptured relationships. How might we reconnect, repair the relationship and start down the path to recovery?
Getting help in a mental health crisis (UMHCC)
For South Australians, Adelaide has an alternative to a Hospital Emergency Department in a mental health crisis. Call (08) 8448 9100 or ask the ambulance to take you there.
Emotion Dysregulation
Emotion dysregulation is a core symptom of borderline personality disorder, and a key contributor to the intensity and distress of the illness.
Staying Connected
The symptoms of BPD can be so very damaging to relationships. How can we stay connected, and continue towards recovery?
Carers have Rights
Carers have rights in the South Australian Health system. When things aren’t going the way we think they need to go, what can we do?
Planning for Christmas
Special occasions like Christmas can be particularly challenging for someone with BPD, and for their families, who love them. Does it have to be that way?
Assistance for Carers
Mental health carers don't have to do it alone, in South Australia. Help is available.
