  questixn_mark asked:

  Where can I get accurate information on bpd? I’ve recently started questioning if I might have bpd, but I know a lot of online recourses can be bad. I was wondering if anyone had links to websites and information with accurate symptoms etc Would like to get some reliable information before bringing it up to my therapist.

  I’d recommend the Mind website if you live in the uk (though maybe you can access it in other countries too) it has an A to Z of mental disorders with lots of good non-stigmatised info and quotes of what people suffering with it have said to describe it! All the best to you :) https://www.mind.org.uk/

  Lee H. asked:

  Has anyone in here overcome anxiety? If so have you any recommendations on how to overcome it whether it be therapy or natural remedies etc. Thanks in advance

  

  Jill W. replied:

  Yes in my teens. It's a very very common problem and there are many support groups for people with anxiety. Its probably one of the most common problems psychotherapists, mental support workers and hypnotherapists work with. The key is to find someone you really vibe with who has helped people like you. Same as know,like, trust you need to have something in common with your pract. MIND has lots of resources, recommendations and self help activities. https://www.mind.org.uk/

  

  Christine S. replied:

  Without a doubt, mindfulness saved my life and my career! My anxiety had hit an all time high with no sleep and constant pacing, all night! Fear of going out, fear of staying in! I really did feel like I was going potty! Can’t say I did it without medication as I’d be fibbing but I manage without it now! I also make sure that I exercise by walking every day to reduce excess adrenaline. I’m all good and rarely feel anxious these days. Good luck Lee, I hope you find something to help you soon 💕

  

  Elaine S. replied:

  Start with checking your physical wellbeing l, vitamin B, D and magnesium. Once possible physical causes are removed, progress on to building a resilient mindset. Once you've built the strong foundation, by having a selection of tools in your toolbox, the day to day challenges will be easier to handle. Would be happy to help you with the latter. Feel free to PM me.

  

  Jacqueline D. replied:

  Hi Lee! I took a mindfulness course via a local community project where a live.....and it has helped me so so much especialy with my own anxiety as mindfulness teaches you to work only in the here and now mode. xxx

  

  Sarah G. replied:

  Nick D. asked:

  Can anyone recommend a good advocate for an ESA assessment at short notice? I did have one but they can't make it, I've already had to re-arrange the appointment 3 times because they couldn't make the first 3 (for good reasons, extenuating circumstances if u will) I think just having a professional presence and someone to check they aren't writing things down wrong.

  

  Mind replied:

  Hi Nick, my first suggestion would be to call our infoline 0300 123 3393 or email info@mind.org.uk You could also try asking on Elefriends Hope it works out and you find someone. Take care, Nick from Mind https://www.elefriends.org.uk/
