someone: that was really brave/strong of you to open up and say that, it can’t have been easy

Okay so obviously anyone with a cluster B personality disorder (that is not BPD - it’s not that you all aren’t demonised, but there definitely is more in the way of compassion and understanding of borderline personality disorder than NPD/ASPD/HPD) has automatically seen “how to deal with the toxic narcissist/antisocial/histrionic person in your life” articles telling others how they should treat us and cope with us like some sort of plague. I want coping strategies for us. What are we meant to do when we’re feeling empty, or broken, or lacking narcissistic supply/attention, or bored, or depressed? 

Meditating is good for anxiety, anger, depression. Distractions are also great for those in those moments. Being physically healthy is very important, so eating right and being active. It’s also important to try and actively think about what you’re saying and doing and, thinking. As people with pds it’s harder for us to acknowledge what we’re doing so it’s important to try and to have friends that are understanding who can point out our behaviors. Many coping skills that work for other disorders can work for pds, but everyone is different with how they’re able to cope.
