YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

Dear Vendra64: It's been a long time since I posted. Thank you for your note. I haven't had the chance to look for other posts from you, so I don't know your story. But I would encourage you to give therapy a try, as your first step in seeking professional help. Please don't put too much into my sto...

Welcome. I can appreciate your struggle, and you're to be commended for your strength in working to recover. It is good you have people who love you, and have helped you. I share your wish that everyone had such support.

On the point that Dr. Peterson further stigmatizes individuals with BPD, I'd just note at one point she went to some length to describe many positive traits she's found among her patients. Given th...

Thank you both for your responses. I appreciate it greatly. You're right she's doing this to other patients. I'm aware of one other case (friend of a friend kind of thing) where she abruptly terminated care for a patient. I don't know that she engaged in some of the hurtful behavior she exhibited to...

OK. I can't find it -- how do you edit a post?

Thanks.
