Eagleheart Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Over the past few weeks,i have got back in touch with someone who was a deeply cherished friend. Due to a misunderstanding and an unfortunate set of circumstances,the friendship died and i was left utterly bereft,because this person was like a true soul-mate. Anyway,thanks to the miracle of good old facebook,i was able to track her down and we have been communicating via fb. Today,we met up for the first time in 4yrs.I was so anxious about it,but we clicked again and it was like we used to be with each other. Thankfully,i have learnt lessons and also grown as a person,so we were able to talk through grievances and hurt. I am so so happy that i bit the bullet and contacted her after all those years.Being with her is like getting food for my soul. I actually managed to say sorry to her.I admitted my part of the blame.She didn't reject me! I wanted to post about this because i realise that recently,my posts have been a tad "heavy". I acknowledge the positivity in my life.I am thankful for it. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddison Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 You might have given me a reason not to hate facebook. My kids will thank you for eternity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleheart Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Honestly Maddison,i resisted the whole fb thing for ages.My hubby eventually went ahead and set up a page for me without my knowledge and messaged friends as me.I was furious with him! Now,a few months later,i use it EVERY day to contact friends. I now find it invaluable!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagleheart Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks everyone.I want to share something that my friend said to me because it has radically altered how i feel about having BPD She now works as a psych nurse,so she has a good understanding of MH issues. I was telling her how being dx BPD had had a very negative impact on me,with its connotations.Anyway,she said this " Every single human being has any number of the traits that are associated with BPD. The only difference is that people like me (and you) have a heightened level of self-awareness and think very deeply about things,and that's when it becomes problematic. EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING HARBOURS BPD CHARACTERISTICS. Take heart from that my friends,When you think about it,the truth of it becomes apparent.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Eagle I'm so happy you feel better and I think that is true, we (borderliners) just fell off the "normal" spectrum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
