Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
It has just come up in conversation naturally @Former-Member and she darling has agreed to let me make an earlier appointment for her. Will mean travelling is all as he is only in town once or twice a month but I really don't mind driving her down to his base if necessary. I think today just highlights how she is not coping at the moment.
Today is probably proportional to her reaction when she scratched the car in the garage so it is largely a 'normal' reaction for Darling. The people helping managed the situation so well.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Thanks @Former-Member
Initally I went into panic mode until one of the ladies got the phone from darling and explained to me the plan of driving her home and that she was in good hands. Then I kind of went into fix it mode and on auto. Tomorrow will be the test .usually 24 - 48 hours after an event is when things catch up with me.
🙏 are much appreciated .

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
The "cope now, pay later" pattern is a familiar one @Determined. Hope you can schedule a couple of easy days ahead for you? At least it's the weekend now. Glad all are OK.

All good so far this morning. All weary but no big issues from yesterday's excitment.

I went for a short ride yesterday and it was a bit like that.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Well after an up.and down couple.of days that were more down than up things are still holding steady here.
I was a bit concerned about darling this morning but she was invited and went out to my mum's for the day. I think if she had declined mum would have come here. So grateful for that support. Being out of the house was defiantly better than spending the day hiding in bed.
Car is at the panel shop. ✅
The reckon it is fixable ✅✅
I get to ride my bike more in the meantime as darling is driving my usual driver ✅✅✅
