I'm a wife, mother, grandmother AND have lived with BPD for my entire life. I've been ashamed of this & kept it as hidden as possible. I've just come out of the Mental Health closet & am taking responsibility for my recovery & accountability for my past behaviours. I want it fixed. I'm not talking about coping skills, I'm talking about digging down to the root cause and adjusting the distorted core belief that "MY FEELINGS ARE IRRELEVANT & SHAMEFUL, DEVOID OF WORTH & THEREFORE SO AM I MYSELF". It's not a quick and easy fix. It involves painful self reflection & hard inner work. But, ANYONE can do it if they truly want to. Join me as I continue my recovery. I'd love you to get in touch or comment on the podcasts. Let me know if you want me to discuss anything in particular or maybe you'd like to be a guest. My eternal gratitude goes to Brian Barnett, www.thelastsymptom.com. Contact me on Twitter @DelShamala or www.facebook.com/OnlyCureForBorderlinePersonalityDisorder

I remember how much I had suffered from the self-centeredness of my caregiver as a child and adolescent. Is that something you could unravel for yourself?

Suffering of BPD is who had such a person in their lives. What struck me recently, is the fact that I myself am VERY self-centred as well. Like Brian described in one of his posts, I see the people closest to me as suppliers or deniers of what I want or need. And I'm hurting them with this even though I am sometimes already aware of it whilst it happens. In between I sometimes think, what if I'm in reality a Narcissist, too? Or do I have it as a comorbidity? It really troubles me because

Oh, so it seems that I just can continue with a new message :) I only quite recently realised that one of my caregivers is the epitome of a narcissist and that both my eating disorder which I developed at the age of ~13 and the BPD as such were caused by the emotional neglect and permanent criticism of my feelings, intellect and physical appearance/capabilities by that person. I believe that Brian said something similar about his father, so I really wonder how high the prevelance of people..

Hi Shamala, I just came across your podcast due to Brian's recommendation on his facebook site. And I have to say that I really, really like it! You have a very positive and calm way to convey your revelations and I am a able to relate to many of these. In this episode you're referring at several points to the "spiteful inner critic", that once used to dominate you and the perceptions you had about yourself. I'd like to contribute more to this but can't because of the word limit here.
