Feeling so sad...

I keep trying to make myself snap out of it, but I'm feeling really sad lately. Me eldest daughter moved to a different state this week and wants to be independent. I miss her so much. It's been a really tough adjustment.

My husband has also reached that point after 12 yrs of marriage where he's tired of the BPD nonsense. It feels unfair b/c he has Asperger's and has his own issues. Regardless, I can tell that he's serious this time about considering a divorce.

I'm feeling so sad.

Sounds like you are having a really tough time. I wish there was something I could say to help make it any better. My marriage is in a similar place. We are doing counseling because I don't know how to make things better between us with my BPD and depression always getting in the way. It's an awful place to be stuck in, coupled with your daughter moving away.

All I can say is look after yourself. Sadness like that isn't something you should just be able to snap out of, as much as I'm sure you'd like to. I hope you start to feel a bit better soon.

It seems like you're experiencing "empty nest syndrome." I'm sorry.

Marriage, like any other long-term relationship, go through their bumpy moments. Try to work it out with your husband, as you are already experiencing the grief of missing your child, and see if he's up for marriage counseling - if it comes to that.

Also, look into the mirror and say "I am (you name). I am not BPD." Because, it's true. You're not your disorder.

Thank you guys. Thank you for caring enough to even respond. I was too ashamed after I wrote that post and too fearful of the rejection that I was expecting to even read your responses for a few days. I can't express enough how kind people on here seem to be. Thank you.
