I have Borderline Personality Disorder and it has not been particularly good existing so far. As far as therapy goes, in my district (in Kerala), I am trying to find a solid therapist trained in DBT. Shit is exhausting, are there any practical way of dealing with this that doesn’t involving forking over an obscene amount of money? I seem to have a lot of ADHD symptoms as well. Quite exhausting.

Adding fascist India shenanigans on top of it, I am really tired. Reading theory is helping and I understand that things are changeable but how do I not fall into doomerism? especially in a country where every month feels more fascistic than the last.

Any comrades with BPD or any other mental health struggles here? How do you cope?

    Staying off of bourgeoise social media, marxist theory, and staying away from my family (hindutva shite ಠ_ಠ) is what had helped me the most as of this point. I will check out the website, thank you for linking me.

    I haven’t suffered with addiction thankfully, but I disassociate alot. And I just completely hole myself up in the room as well, for months. Occassionally figuring myself out of it, then minor inconvenience, then back again.

    I identity as a man (AMAB as well), there was very little info I could actually find on male BPD, most of these resources just focus on dehumanizing women. Personality disorder discourse in general feels very murky.
