Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Hi @Smc thanks for checking in.
I have been passively lurking in the fringes when I get a chance but pretty focussed on uni assessment at the moment.
I actually didn't realise it had been so long since I was on.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
@LearningWaters this is the thread I mentioned about boundaries.
If you go back to page 1 there is an explanation and links back to previous threads.
Happy to answer any questions you have the best I can. Thread gets a bit off track to its inital intent but still I think shows the necessity of self care and boundaries.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Well that didn't last long.
Went to work today after 3 weeks off and totally wiped out at the end of it.
Study and assessment not going well either. Still better than I was but not quite yet functional 🥴

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Sounds like you need to continue some self administered TLC @Determined. Bugs that hang around like that are frustrating.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Looks like it @Smc
I have juat been messaged and politely asked not to go to work tomorrow. I didn't think I was quite that bad but people were worried about how sick I looked.
Site supervisor where I work will tell my boss who works at a different site tomorrow. At least that way it is not me who is piking ad I don't like to be unreliable. Which I feel I have been this semester 😕
