    Hello,

    I’ve been feeling really stressed out and anxious lately, probably due to my finals and Grandmother being hospitalized. I have borderline personality disorder and for the past few months, I’ve been meditating, taking care of myself and on a journey to learn more about spirituality and myself. I’ve never felt better! But recently, it has been really hard for me to even try to be positive. I used to be able to see the better days ahead despite my bad days and negative thoughts but right now, the voices in my head are overwhelming me and I can’t seem to stop it… 🙁 I can’t help but think that I’ll be failing all of my exams, all of my friends hate me and i don’t know where this idea came from and it sounds silly but I’ve been really paranoid about someone tapping my phone and spying on me,… And I can’t help but feel that everyone including my best friend secretly hates me… i need some advice… Thank you..

    With love,

    Rachel

    Dear Rachel:

    I need to be away from the computer for the next fifteen hours or so. I hope other members answer you before I return. I read your short post and would like to suggest something that may be helpful to you. But I need more information. If you would like, can you share more about your current and past relationships with your parents? I will read and reply when I am back.

    Hello Anita,

    Sorry for the delayed response.

    My parents have been divorced since I was 3, I haven’t seen my dad since then so my relationship with him is basically non-existent. My relationship with my mom is pretty good, i guess… I’m the closest to her out of my siblings, she can get a little critical and stubborn at times but she is also kind and generous. At times, she is a little emotionally immature and while growing up, I often feel like a “mom” to her…

    With love,

    Rachel

    Dear Rachel:

    When your mother is “a little emotionally immature” (for example?), how does that make you feel?

    I wonder if when that happens, it stresses you out, makes you anxious.

    Hi Anita,

    She is someone who can’t handle stress very well, she gets very emotional and I would have to cheer her up and coddle her like a child… I can count all of the times while growing up when she either self harmed or attempted suicide right in front of my siblings and I.  She doesn’t do any of that now but every time she gets emotional, I get really stressed out to the point of anger…

    Dear Rachel:

    I can’t imagine anything more scary for a child than to see her mother attempt suicide. I got scared enough hearing my mother threaten to commit suicide. It is scary and enraging. A child needs calm, not terror, safety, not the threat of death.

    When he gets emotional now, what does she say and how does she behave?
