I went for the teachers pet approach with my dbt therapist last week and made her some artwork (the canvas heart) because her walls are in need of some serious love and decor. I also finally hung the affirmation wheel I made. (It's all newspaper and magazines rolled!!)

One year ago today my best friend took her own life. This past year has been filled with questions. Did she think of me? Did she suffer? If I had called her that day could I have stopped her? The suffering that comes from losing a loved one to suicide is equivalent to the trauma of being in combat. The trauma lasts a lifetime. The grief is treated differently than if your loved one had died from anything other than their own hand. People don’t want to hear about it or talk about it, it makes people uncomfortable. You are left primarily to grieve on your own as the people around you seem to move on with their lives. Suicide is a devastation to the victim, and it is equally as devastating to the ones left behind. After Gillian’s death, I wanted to crawl into a hole. Instead, I decided that I would cherish her memory by sharing her story and continuing to dedicate my life to those who want to take their own. Gillian, you are the reason I will keep fighting. You taught me to care for the outcasts. I won’t let you down. #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #bpd #suicideawarness #dbtskills #bpdawareness #suicideprevention https://www.instagram.com/p/By0M5RqgHwp/?igshid=j4qg92db9h07

Our limbic system can put us in fight-or-flight mode with no warning, so we are one provocation away from raging, fighting, or self-destructing. This is a huge symptom for many of us with BPD but it’s really not talked about as much as other symptoms like self injury or emotional instability. Pay attention to your anger levels today...are you irritated? Frustrated? Tread carefully. Your BPD might want to take the wheel. #bpdrecovery #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #bpd #dbtskills #bpdawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/ByFwEWogzk8/?igshid=nz9h2y50mldp

Thanks to all my followers, my coaching clients, my friends, and my family for supporting me these past few years while I make my career dreams come true! Working with people with #bpd gives me the biggest smile on my face and it is the purpose I was meant for. Thanks for cheering me on everyone! I could NOT have made it this far without you 💗💗💗#bpdawareness #dbtskills #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #bpdthings (at Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort & Marina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2R3FaAbz5/?igshid=1bv2b47fnnt20
