Advice to help friend with bpd during quarantne
One of my best friends has bdp, we used to live near each other which was very conveniant for me to support her, but now we live far and i know quarantine may be hard for her, but i don't know how to help from afar, any advice ?
Hi.
I also think that video calls would be helpful. As many people who have BPD, your friend might be experiencing some abandonement issues and it would be a great thing to just let her know that you are thinking about her and care about her and that you aren't just gone from her life (which is a possibility of what a person with BPD could have as a concern in such situation). Hope that helps

Thank you ! I already take care of interacting with her a lot on social medias but vidéo calls are a good idea

Hey!
I am borderline, currently as we're all under lockdown measures the dominant emotion for me is loneliness and a strong fear of abandonment (are people going to forget about me, will people lose interest in me if they can't meet up with me etc). I can imagine many borderline people are experiencing these fears to! Life can also feel a bit pointless and empty without things and plans for us to look forward to.
To combat this, my number one suggestion is regularly reminding your friend that you are loving and thinking of them from a distance. Reassure them that they are important to you and you're excited for the future when you can see one another again! There are loads of fun ways you can do this and trigger some positivity and excitement for them too. Try sending post cards or photos, or really anything via post as this is a lovely surprise and gives a little burst of joy.
Come up with creative ways to make video calls more fun, to help alleviate the feelings of loneliness. The other night my friend and I had a virtual wine-tasting date! It was great fun and made me feel a lot healthier to get dressed, put on some makeup and feel like we were on a night out together! (Alcohol may not be appropriate to your situation, so you could try dressing up in costumes, grabbing some nice glasses and making a mocktail/ decorating the background as if you are on holiday, having a virtual book club or dancing together).
Get creative in showing your love! The fact that you are posting here for advice shows you are a valuable and caring friend. Stay safe!

Thanks you for your ideas ! they all sound really funny, even though some are difficult to apply, i'll try to make plans for after quarantine (we already talked about partying and about birthday presents :) ) We also do online video games together when we can
