Does anyone else with BPD experience this feeling
I still remember the first time I felt it, even though it was 15 years ago.
I had just disclosed to someone for the first time that I was self harming. And when they responded with caring and concern I felt this intense physical sensation. I don't know how else to describe it. It was somewhere behind my belly button. And it felt SO good. And it was addictive. All I wanted was to feel it again. For a while just replaying the conversation in my head was enough . But it didn't last long. And that was the start. From there my behaviour escalated. I would do anything just to feel that feeling again.
I have always been scared to share this with anyone because I don't want to perpetuate the stereotype that people with BPD are 'just attention seeking'
But I'd love to know that I'm not alone in this...

Hi @Wonderingsoul @show_me_gray
I just want to respond to you both. As a child of a BPD parnet in denial you both are tackling your illness with questions and that has to be commended. Well done an dI hope you find your answers. That's what its all about, exploring and asking.
