Yes! I’ve found that a lot of videos on RUclips tend toward judgment towards us. It’s really sad and hurtful. But I love his videos and makes me feel comfortable and soothed.
My splitting and unwarranted paranoia towards my husband’s intentions/behaviours is hurting and exhausting for the both of us. I’m desperate to heal this; I know I am capable of overcoming the instinct to see the negative or assume the worst❤ thank you so much for creating BPD focused content; you are truly saving lives.
I can’t express how relieved I am when I click on your channel & remember there are professionals out there who want nothing more than to help patients with personality disorders. Not shame them into control. Not make assumptions. The stuff you go through as a BPD patient really looks like you’ve got PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood swings, substance abuse, every mental illness all at the same time. It’s unbelievable that doctors who want to treat bipolar patients but not BPD patients, despite them having the same stuff happening to them, just because of the damn stigma. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do here. 🙏
I've had the same experience with medical staff, when I was diagnosed, nobody told me I had to read it in my paperwork. I had no idea what direction I should go in. When I started asking questions, I was told there was no affective treatment for BPD. I felt like the old broken toy in the trash that nobody wanted anymore.
Both of my DBT groups used this poem, in part during graduation. You said the title of the collection and I just started laughing, like, "oh my gosh, it's the BPD poem!" It is so perfect, I love how everyone who knows about BPD and comes across it immediately links them.
This is a great video. I think sometimes BPD can cause someone to think that the "solution" or way to stop the pain is to keep the other person from abandoning you or to get that person's forgiveness in that one moment. But that is just more grasping and does not actually solve the problem. It can be hard to step back and see the bigger picture and continue working on oneself, but it is definitely doable. If you are struggling with this pattern, don't give up.
Dr. Fox thank you for this poem. I can see now from a birds eye view myself, falling into the same dam hole. This time the hole is too deep & I’ve been there for 1.5 years. Now I’m not sure if I want to get out… It feels safe here, but I hate myself for being a sleeping sloth. I sleep because I hate myself when awake. I’m 45 & I can’t get my life together.
I feel you girlie!.....56 and five years in....I don't cry so much now....I sleep so I dont have to think....and I am a loner because I do not want to affect anyone.....my bedroom is my safe place....hang in there! x
I can relate. I’m about to turn 45 and been in this hole for over 2 years now. Sleep all the time, can’t eat, distanced myself from everyone. I have small glimmers of hope every now and then but it’s so hard to sustain so I slip back down again 😢
it really hurts more as you get older. I thought I was finally doing good. Relapsed, thought I solved it all. Back to square one. Guess I'm still weak. I thought I'd be stronger by now.
I notice you have been posting (sometimes multiple) videos almost daily and I really appreciate it and am benefitting. This video and poem was great. Thank you.
this poem is very helpful. it gives me an understanding on how to gauge my own progress. the fact that BPD remission is a completely different street is so powerful. things change when you realize you won't always be falling into holes.
haiii dr fox as a person with bpd thank you for focusing on our disorder bc you help a lot and thank you for making videos bc then i can explain stuff to others maybe in the future when i try to explain symptoms of bpd im sorry if this doesn't make sense i just woke up so lmaooo but thank you LUV YOU
thank yo so much for this. I've just turned 18 and been dealing with bpd undiagnosed for years then i finally got diagnosed at 16, its such a struggle and i feel like i cant escape it. But the way you approach it really makes me feel like i can really handle it.
That's me every single day of my life, I think I am somewhere between three and four, but sometimes I go right back to one again because it's familiar… It's safe or at least that's what it feels like
just want to say thank you dr fox. when life gets hard i always feel like your video is a sanctuary for us with bpd. you shed a light on the problem and the comment section makes us feel seen/not alone. thank you so much
This made me emotional, in a good way. I’m living the last chapters now, with my therapist’s help. It’s been a hard frustrating road and it’s all been worth it. This video puts everything into perfect perspective, and it reassured me that there is a light at the end of this long tunnel. I am almost there! Thank you Dr. Fox. -wife using husband’s account.
I watched this yesterday evening and I immediately knew this is me. It had an effect on me . I will need the help you provide and will order your books!
Hey, I received my bpd card deck today. I think these will be very useful for me. They're to the point, love that, will be good when upset and difficulty focusing on things. ❤
I needed to hear that's bc I'm falling into the hole bc of my depression that came from Implusive behaviors so I know I'm seeking validation for my self worth though an ex unhealthy partner but hearing this means I gotta love myself and walk down a different path so I don't repeat history. Yep..
This is so helpful. The relief from clarity and optimism. It applies to so much more than personality disorders. Anyone that deals with stress and post trauma
Wow! It does fit so well! I’m walking down that street still but I am no longer falling in the hole. I hope to soon find that other street and avoid that hole completely 😊
Honestly the timing of finding this video is truly astounding. I’ve been deeply finding myself going through these exact cycles, and now becoming aware of the patterns… thank you.❤
Really great video, the poem is very apt to those of us struggling with this disorder. Hope we can reach the last stanza of the poem and walk down a different street.
Dear Dr Fox, i just walked passed the deep hole in the sidewalk. Im so proud of myself ! Thank you Dr Fox for all your video's and books they are helping me enormously. ❤
Thank you so much for this poem! The last chapter gave me chills even though it was so simple, but this is where I am now in my journey with BPD and I didn't even realize it till now. So thank you for this and everything you do for the the BPD community
I just found your channel, and it has been one of the best I've found regarding BPD. And just this one really resonated, I feel I might be in chapter 3, so there's still some work, but how relieving it is to find content like yours. Thank you very much for caring! 🙏🏽
The poetry thank-you so much doctor Fox ...❤ Your approach was different today, i loved it... Thank-you for all your efforts... If not for anyone i am gonna do it for you!!
Saturday. The 8th of April 2, 023 AD Greetings. Dr. Fox, It's been far too long since I have been here. I had never heard of the "BPD Poem" and found it to be an awesome tool. The two GREATEST takeaways I gained from this particular vlog • Building Insight & • Adaptive Strategies You ended by saying " You can BEAT BPD" what does that even mean exactly? Are you implying those of us whomever struggle with BPD can overcome it as if 👀 a chronic disease in remission 👀
Perfeito, estou no cap 3, roendo unhas e sentindo um vazio no peito como tomar sorvete gelado rapidamente. Você é único nesse mundo, Dr. Fox, my favorite person in a good way. Thank You.
I'm so stuck in chapter 2. It's like chapter three is within my reach, but I haven't gotten out of chapter two, yet. It's so frustrating and I keep repeatedly wasting years of my life in each hole I fall into. I loved the poem and wrote it down. I'm going to order it because chapter five caused my heart to skip a beat.
A bit offtopic, but does anypne feel kinda like this: My dream life would be to constantly move around every 3 months or so. Allways leaving people on a high note. Get personal friends, but not get so close it causes issues.
Not gonna lie, most people would want their friendships to last longer than 3 month. They are not gonna live you alone after you move to a different place. Friendship is a responsibility, please do not start friendships to opt out of after 3 months, you opting out is going to really upset and confuse people and even may even give them trust issues. It's better to work on yourself than just moving all the time. Healing must be possible for bpd, I have managed to heal a severe case if cptsd, there is therapy for bpd as well. Rather stay with your friends and heal.
From also using the 12 steps, this is step 6 &7. Treatment for BPD and other PD's often include the 12 steps in one way or another and it is positive and imperative. AA saved my life. While Christians members of the Fellowship keep circling the wagons (some of us are sicker than others), allowing non alcoholics/addicts into sacred closed meetings and actually breaking an imperative sense of safety, the literature and the steps remain relevant and necessary.
I want to walk down a different street but I feel like I start walking down a street thinking it's a new different one, and then suddenly realise at some point that it's the same one again. I don't know where to begin
I feel like I'm somewhere in chapter III. I'm still fucking up, but I'm choosing to _not_ fuck up more frequently. It is not (yet) frequent enough to get me out of the very, very deep hole I've dug for myself, but it has created a growing body of irrefutable evidence that I am inherently capable of making better choices and following through on them.
I find it difficult to stand up to my brother. He is the family in the head except he is always there. He saved my life twice, literally! I made a death-bed promise to my mother to take care of him no matter what! He uses my mental health against me, he has no interest in learning about my diagnosis or his so he has no idea how to work with me, he doesn't recognize emotions. Just today I came to the understanding that I am afraid of his angry outbursts even-though he has Never tried to hurt me physically! I know what I need to do, but how can I put him out and turn my back on him?! I'm not really looking for answers, I just have some really hard decisions to make.
Can I ask a question... I went to an event where there were celebrities and I met one who I was getting along with pretty then they complimented and it was like I disaccosicated. My eyes got bigger and all I remember is their eyes growing with worry and then looking down at their photo they signed says thank you and then telling them to have a good day. I couldn't take the compliment. And now people are telling me I am nice and it bothers me. I know this is a sign of trauma but I feel so bad cause it turned out to be a horrible end to a nice experience. How can I stop this from being a trigger again?
Wish people with bpd researched it as much as the people they harm around them. Never ever experienced so much mental damage which says alot about me. Need more videos for the people who have been damaged from people with BPD.
What could I do to get over the feeling of waking up everyday in the aftermath of the long term self destructive phase of my life, knowing I was held back from reaching the potential I threw from a immensely abusive?
write down how you can change the habit....GET UP......have a cuppa but time it to 15mins...then hop in shower. dress....and then walk just walk walk walk and focus your mind on only the nature around you..sometimes just that can get you going....BE A WARRIOR...NO SURRENDER! x
I don't fall in the hole. My whole life has been lived in that hole. Sometimes some light gets in. Sometimes I even have a flashlight. I catch glimpses of life on the sidewalk. If I ever made it there though I wouldn't have a clue how to live above ground.
So I think I have this. I thought I had cptsd but bpd does sound like me. I really fell out with my parents this week over reducing my medication and my poor Mum has told me she’s had enough. I feel awful that I’ve upset her so badly when she’s going through so much herself. I hate how selfish I am now. I can’t seem to control my behaviour however hard I try. What worked for other people here? I don’t know where to begin
Sometimes, I miss the old street though. I don’t feel like myself on the new one. Somehow, there’s some sense of security in that old hole, in the pain. I think because that’s where my emotions are. The emotions on the new street are so subdued and bland in comparison that it makes me feel unalive.
It's completely normal to feel that way. The familiarity of the old street can provide comfort, even if it comes with pain. Emotions can be complex, and sometimes we find ourselves longing for what we know.
Thank u so much. Yesterday I got so so drunk and gambled all my money and woke up this morning like wth is wrong with me, I have been doing so good but I always go back. But from this moment forward, I'm walking down a different street
I love him so much and my undiagnosed just left me for his ex in a final discard.i loved him so much and we had so much in common music production and faith but he suddenly lost his faith and refused to sing or play with me again.we had purpose together i m so sad empty .😢😢😢 i think about him all day long .am in a big pain ..he blocked my emails and everywhere. .i miss him so much though he splitted and saw me all black ..i still love him
Hey dr fox I hope the comment finds you well. I know you don’t have time to answer every question or be everyone’s therapist but I just have a question about A bpd partner leaving you. My girlfriend of 2 years has BPD and has been in therapy for 2 months now, recently she told me she couldn’t do this anymore and blocked my number and all my social media. Everything was seemingly fine and I try my best to set boundaries, support her, and love her the best I can. So ultimately my question is how do I know when to understand she genuinely doesn’t want to be with me vs. is splitting or having a psychotic break. Thanks for all your help this far
This is not an easy answer it I’d say talk with her and find out her triggers and issues and how you can be part of her growth and control of BPD. I wish you well.
The kindness with which you approach the BPD community is so incredible. Thank you for what you do
agree :)
Yes! I’ve found that a lot of videos on RUclips tend toward judgment towards us. It’s really sad and hurtful. But I love his videos and makes me feel comfortable and soothed.
I almost cried “I walked down a different street”
My splitting and unwarranted paranoia towards my husband’s intentions/behaviours is hurting and exhausting for the both of us. I’m desperate to heal this; I know I am capable of overcoming the instinct to see the negative or assume the worst❤ thank you so much for creating BPD focused content; you are truly saving lives.

Stop, Look, & Listen.
STOP, collaborate and listen.
Stop listening & SCREAM!!!
Both options as well. So true. LoL.
This makes so much sense. I'm going through a breakup and it's been really hard😢😢
sorry :(
Same :( be strong ❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏💜
💙💙💙 you will get through this

I don't know how many times I've said I've fallen in a hole and I'm trying to find my way out. Thank you for sharing this
You’re welcome. Stay the course. You’ll get out.
Dr. Fox thank you for this poem. I can see now from a birds eye view myself, falling into the same dam hole. This time the hole is too deep & I’ve been there for 1.5 years. Now I’m not sure if I want to get out… It feels safe here, but I hate myself for being a sleeping sloth. I sleep because I hate myself when awake. I’m 45 & I can’t get my life together.

It does get better, but don't be fooled by complacency and becoming stagnant in your self growth.
I hope u feel better soon. Love yourself because u are worth it and u deserve a happy life
Our safe place turns into our prison eventually.
I can relate. I’m about to turn 45 and been in this hole for over 2 years now. Sleep all the time, can’t eat, distanced myself from everyone. I have small glimmers of hope every now and then but it’s so hard to sustain so I slip back down again 😢
Your last sentence almost made me cry. Thank you for your videos and what you are doing here on youtube.
it really hurts more as you get older. I thought I was finally doing good. Relapsed, thought I solved it all.
Back to square one. Guess I'm still weak. I thought I'd be stronger by now.

Ive been binge watching your videos and they have helped me understand myself better in one week than i have in a lifetime!
Thank you

I love this one poem. I had an inpatient stint last year in June, and it was the first time I came across Nelson's work.
Dr. Fox, thank you for this poem. Thank you for believing in all of us who experience BPD. We can beat it….. with you on our side❤.
Hey, I received my bpd card deck today. I think these will be very useful for me. They're to the point, love that, will be good when upset and difficulty focusing on things. ❤
I've been working on your workbook, chapter 7 now! I feel so seen and understood, thank you thank you thank you!
I needed to hear that's bc I'm falling into the hole bc of my depression that came from Implusive behaviors so I know I'm seeking validation for my self worth though an ex unhealthy partner but hearing this means I gotta love myself and walk down a different path so I don't repeat history. Yep..

Wow! It does fit so well! I’m walking down that street still but I am no longer falling in the hole. I hope to soon find that other street and avoid that hole completely 😊
Beautiful empowering poem, beautiful empowering video and metaphor- thank you so much Dr Fox
Thank you Dr 🦊
Honestly the timing of finding this video is truly astounding. I’ve been deeply finding myself going through these exact cycles, and now becoming aware of the patterns… thank you.❤
Dr Fox, you are the very best !!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I wish you well.
Thanks for the encouragement Dr Fox. Now I have a poet to check out
Really great video, the poem is very apt to those of us struggling with this disorder. Hope we can reach the last stanza of the poem and walk down a different street.
I might be the first juan this time around

Was feeling really down and beating myself up. At the end you reminded us, we can beat it. I needed to be reminded
This is such a great analogy
Thank so much iam strangling with this dioder
I had to teach myself extreme discipline to learn to walk down a different street
That was very powerful, thank you 🙏
This is so helpful Dr Fox. Just what we needed. Thanks for sharing.. your compassion is very encouraging💓
The poetry thank-you so much doctor Fox ...❤ Your approach was different today, i loved it... Thank-you for all your efforts... If not for anyone i am gonna do it for you!!
Thank you for sharing this. Describes BPD recovery perfectly. T
What a great poem. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you. I wish you well.

I want to walk down a different street😢 I have been recently diagnosed and I am 42. It’s a miracle my husband hasn’t left me! Thank you
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you. I wish you well.
i loved this, thank you so much! 🙏
Saturday. The 8th of April 2, 023 AD
Greetings.
Dr. Fox,
It's been far too long since I have been here. I had never heard of the "BPD Poem" and found it to be an awesome tool.
The two GREATEST takeaways I gained from this particular vlog • Building Insight & • Adaptive Strategies
You ended by saying " You can BEAT BPD" what does that even mean exactly? Are you implying those of us whomever struggle with BPD can overcome it as if 👀 a chronic disease in remission 👀
he spoke out of turn. it cannot be beaten
I first read this when I was 15 years old I am now 40 and still love it and think of it often
I’m glad the video was helpful. Be well.
Totally relatable
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you. I wish you well.
WoW this was so powerful so happy to say I am in between chapter 4 & 5
I am so glad to hear that, and I wish you all the best.
Stunning.
I'm not sure why but connecting my problems to some really good writing helps. This video made me a bit misty. Thank you!
Dr. Fox !!! Love all your content! It is very helpful! Thank you very much ❤️
Perfeito, estou no cap 3, roendo unhas e sentindo um vazio no peito como tomar sorvete gelado rapidamente. Você é único nesse mundo, Dr. Fox, my favorite person in a good way. Thank You.
You can do it y’all. We gon get through this together. 🤘🏽
Great motivation
I think I'm going to learn to speak like you, very hopefull words.
I'm so stuck in chapter 2. It's like chapter three is within my reach, but I haven't gotten out of chapter two, yet. It's so frustrating and I keep repeatedly wasting years of my life in each hole I fall into. I loved the poem and wrote it down.

Yes yes yes yes love it
I want to walk down a different street but I feel like I start walking down a street thinking it's a new different one, and then suddenly realise at some point that it's the same one again. I don't know where to begin
Good start to insight. Try to find a mental health provider to help you build this awareness, then use strategies otp do it differently.
I feel like I'm somewhere in chapter III. I'm still fucking up, but I'm choosing to _not_ fuck up more frequently. It is not (yet) frequent enough to get me out of the very, very deep hole I've dug for myself, but it has created a growing body of irrefutable evidence that I am inherently capable of making better choices and following through on them.
I see holes everywhere, but still frequently fall in... Easier to get out than it used to be, just so tired of looking for the right street...
can u do a video on BPD and ODD?
Thank you Dr from David in lreland,,,,,,,Happy Easter
Love this ❤ TY
Dr Fox...you explain things so well...love the boost! you are brilliant! London girl x
P.S A young guy called Ren has got a ton of music about mental health..check him out..he sure has helped me x ❤
My wife and I are in London right now visiting from the US!
@@bcrwarlock1974 Hi Scott and wife welcome to London...Hope you are having a good time....may the sun shine all the way for you
I find it difficult to stand up to my brother. He is the family in the head except he is always there. He saved my life twice, literally!

Have you had any patients with BPD that show success on Rexulti? It has been very helpful for me
I don't fall in the hole. My whole life has been lived in that hole. Sometimes some light gets in. Sometimes I even have a flashlight. I catch glimpses of life on the sidewalk. If I ever made it there though I wouldn't have a clue how to live above ground.
So I think I have this. I thought I had cptsd but bpd does sound like me. I really fell out with my parents this week over reducing my medication and my poor Mum has told me she’s had enough. I feel awful that I’ve upset her so badly when she’s going through so much herself. I hate how selfish I am now. I can’t seem to control my behaviour however hard I try. What worked for other people here? I don’t know where to begin
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're facing. It's important to seek support and strategies that work for you.
I have giving up on myself
Never give up. Stay the course
Sometimes, I miss the old street though. I don’t feel like myself on the new one. Somehow, there’s some sense of security in that old hole, in the pain. I think because that’s where my emotions are. The emotions on the new street are so subdued and bland in comparison that it makes me feel unalive.
It's completely normal to feel that way. The familiarity of the old street can provide comfort, even if it comes with pain. Emotions can be complex, and sometimes we find ourselves longing for what we know.

Hey dr fox I hope the comment finds you well. I know you don’t have time to answer every question or be everyone’s therapist but I just have a question about A bpd partner leaving you. My girlfriend of 2 years has BPD and has been in therapy for 2 months now, recently she told me she couldn’t do this anymore and blocked my number and all my social media. Everything was seemingly fine and I try my best to set boundaries, support her, and love her the best I can. So ultimately my question is how do I know when to understand she genuinely doesn’t want to be with me vs. is splitting or having a psychotic break. Thanks for all your help this far
This is not an easy answer it I’d say talk with her and find out her triggers and issues and how you can be part of her growth and control of BPD. I wish you well.
@@DrDanielFox thank you much Dr fox

I'm sorry to hear that you've been going through a tough time. Remember that you're not alone and there are people who care about you. Hang in there!
This is me with 4 unplanned pregnancies from ages 29-41...
It's not my fault, it's my parents. But I don't want to forgive them.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
