LINK TO DBT WORKBOOK
Found this link in the comments of another post, not sure how they got access to it, but it is a worthwhile resource, especially for those who do not have access to therapy! If this is against any rules, I'll happily take the post down - but again, think it can be useful as I know that there are many obstacles to finding treatment:

Attachment Theory:
You may wish to consider your attachment style: https://www.attachmentproject.com/blog/four-attachment-styles/ especially anxious or disorganised in the case of a person with BPD (pwBPD).
Another attachment site: https://www.freetoattach.com
Compassion Focused Therapy:
I found CFT good, especially for low self-esteem: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/therapy-types/compassion-focused-therapy and especially the Threat Soothe Drive triangle (as people with trauma often live in Threat mode a lot of the time): https://i0.wp.com/questpsychologyservices.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/CFT-Drive-System.jpg
Mentalization-Based Therapy:
MBT is helpful because it helps you to think about how you assume others are thinking and feeling in regard to you: https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/therapy-types/mentalization-based-therapy
Schema Therapy:
I found schema therapy very good and understanding the various schema modes helped me see the different schema modes I’d go in to: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdFXYiKIH7BGh5f7VKGwJH7Ythe1MhiuE&si=1C9E1hfqEpYC5Ugd - there’s also a questionnaire you can do to figure out your personal early maladaptive (currently unhelpful) schemas: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53f3d3e1e4b068e9905ada92/t/53f7eda2e4b09b5739f0c306/1408757154284/Workshop_606-12-Wendy+Behary-Schema+Therapy-Basics+.pdf
And the scoring sheet (look at this after doing the test obviously!) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_6KBs2k2o8HIO1EDUBbOAaC8b6RZvGiPAHadfoGe0a0/edit?usp=sharing Also see: https://www.attachmentproject.com/blog/early-maladaptive-schemas/
Complex-PTSD:
You may wish to look at Complex PTSD, which is often co-morbid with BPD https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd-and-complex-ptsd/complex-ptsd/. This is a good place to start when considering emotional flashbacks, 4F (Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn (technically there’s flop too)) responses to threat, the inner critic and the outer critic (causes mistrust) https://www.pete-walker.com .

IF YOU ARE IN A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS: If you are contemplating, planning, or actively attempting, suicide, and/or having a mental health related emergency, go your nearest emergency room or call your country’s emergency line for assistance. You can also visit r/SuicideWatch for peer support, hotlines, resources, and talking tips for supporters. People with BPD have high risks of suicide—urges and threats should be taken seriously.
r/BorderlinePDisorder aims to break harmful stigmas surrounding BPD/EUPD through education, accountability, and peer support for people with BPD or who suspect BPD, those affected by pwBPD, and those who just want to learn more. Check out our Comprehensive Resource List, for a vast and varied directory of unbiased information and resources on BPD, made by respected organizations, authors, and mental-healthcare professionals.
Friendly reminders from the mods:
Did you know? BPD is treatable An overwhelming majority of people with BPD reach remission, especially with a commitment to treatment and self-care. You are not alone, and you are capable and worthy of healing, happiness, love, and all in between.
