"Don’t know if I can do this

#BorderlinePersonalityDisorder

I struggle with this disorder amongst others and I just wish that I’d never have been born. ????????????I want to go to heaven now and be with my family that’s already passed away. I just can’t handle this anymore"

The answers were enlightening:

"Please, please reconsider. If you can't do that, postpone it. Do you have people helping you, like a psychiatrist or a therapist? Now's the time to contact them. If after hours, there is always someone on call. The answering service can reach them. You can go to the emergency room and tell them exactly what you expressed and they can help you. Please don't give up. If you can make it a day, good. If you have to do it hour by hour or minute by minute, that's worked for me in the past. There will be better times ahead even if you're not able to see it right now. This is your illness talking. Please post again so we know how you are."

"Psalm 34 verse 18 Jehovah is close to the broken hearted. He saves those who are crushed in spirit. Phillipians 4 verse 5 do not be anxious over anything but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions (feelings) be made know to God."

"Please know that you are not alone. If you like animals, I would suggest you find a shelter and volunteer. Dogs are a man's best friend and you will never feel judged. If you can, adopt one. They will be forever grateful and they will give you a purpose to get up every day. Take care."

The internet is a finicky place. Lost of blather and bs - on the one side, Loving caring people who struggle together in their lives and communityies - on the other. I knowwhic side I've chosen. I've chosen to walk along side those who suffer and and are under every kind of pressure. Have you chosen?
