When you feel triggered, take it as your clue to pause. ⏸️✋️⏸️

Emotions hit hard, but managing them keeps you in control. 😌

Take a breath, step back, and choose your next move wisely because you’re stronger than the storm inside. 🌀⛈️🌀

Here are a few things you can try out.

🌟 BPD Support Community Update. 🌟

Let's introduce Emma, our BPD Peer Support Worker. 👋

Emma came to us firstly, as a community member. She did the bpd recovery course and volunteered as admin. She went on to maternity leave, but still found time to come and support BPD Support awareness and social events. Her true heart lies in Peer Support. With all her hard work in her recovery, we are proud that she is now leading the Peer Support Group. 🏅

Over to you Emma, what's happening in the community?

So, in May for BPD Awarenes Month, we made a little film called "BPD Voices". We were gonna release in June, but June became a very busy month behind the scenes with BPD Support attending the BIGSPD (British and Irish Group for the Study of Personality Disorder). Very interesting couple of days listening to professionals and bpd peers. Due to this, it took us a little longer to get organised in showing the film.

We meet every Friday at 1pm to have a yap, have a laugh and support each other. So, today we had some grub, showed the film to them first, then some of us played games, some of us chatted.

Then, I (Somah) was surprised by the group and given a mum-to-be care package. Wasn't expecting that. I was very touched and grateful to all of them. Affa kind of you all. 💗

We are hoping to post the full film next week. But, you can check out the shorter version on our page. 🎦

Let me introduce you to Dan Warrender. A huge ally to our community here in Aberdeen. Great to hear his talk on Crisis intervention for people with bpd.

A registered mental health nurse and lecturer in mental health nursing. He is close to completing his PhD, which explores the experiences of crisis and crisis intervention for people diagnosed with 'borderline personality disorder'. He is also trained as a mentalization based treatment practitioner.

In the field of personality disorders, he is involved with local and national groups, most notably serving on the executive groups of the Scottish Personality Disorder Network and the British and Irish Group for the Study of Personality Disorders.

I have met him a few times behind the scenes at BPD Support Aberdeen. He has been very supportive to our cause and will be joining our charity board of trustees. I can't wait to see the collaborations created over time for our wee charity. Big it up for our bpd ally! 🙌

I'm so happy that our wee charity has been invited to attend the "British and Irish Group for the study of Personality Disorder" Conference. The next few days will be spent soaking up all the latest info on BPD, new research, new tools for recovery and linking professional services with peer services. The professionals recognise the importance of peer power for Personality disorder recovery. Another subject I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into is the relationship between bpd with cptsd, as well as bpd with nuerodiversity. This is a great milestone for our wee charity. 🖤🤍

Bpd Support Aberdeen is a small charity that is entirely run by volunteers. Without these volunteers, we wouldn't exist. Whether they help out on a regular basis or help out one time, you are all important and vital to keeping this charity going. We want to say a huge thank you to everyone that has supported and helped with the development of this charity. You are all stars! 🌟

Give it up for our Volunteers! 👏🙌🫶👏

🔔 BPD – The Positives 🔔

It's the last week of BPD Awareness Month. Here's to the positives! 🎉

People with BPD face the struggles of the condition on a daily basis, and on top of that often experience stigma, discrimination, isolation and insults. Most of what’s written about BPD doesn’t sound overly positive.👎

We would like to leave it on a positive note and talk about the positives of BPD.👍

Individuals with BPD experience an extraordinarily rich and intense life of both the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. 📈📉

People with BPD are healers, lovers and most of all are fighters of their internal pain. No individual with BPD is the same and it is time to see more than just the diagnosis.

🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍

So, behind the scenes of BPD Support we have been working on a wee film for BPD Awareness Month and Mental Health Week. We couldn't of done this without the support from SHMU. So, here is a short version of the film to check out. I want to thank our bpd community members that were involved in the making of the film. Well done in standing up and sharing your voice about bpd. The longer version should be out soon. 🖤🤍

Please check it out!

Last thing, that thumbnail of me is hilarious! 😂🤣😜
