How do other mums cope with BPD after having a child? I was diagnosed at 19, now 24. Medication also effects feeling and tiredness.
I feel so guilty over my sons development (socially mostly) due to my mental health. He's 2 and 3 Months but clingy and shy, which I feel is completely my fault, we don't go out much and due to bpd and major social anxiety I naturally avoid socialising, and tbh I'm never approached by any other mums for conversation at e.g soft play, the park etc.
I even joined mummy social and mush but to no avail no one wants to talk to me (I openly stated I have bpd so they understand why I'm the way I am). I have no close family except my partners mum and honestly can barely get out the house unless walking partners mums dog or food shopping. I'm so lonely, but my concern is my son. I'd hate for him to be like me, always wondering why no one likes them. He's due to join nursery when he turns three and I'm hoping that'll boost his confidence and make plenty of friends.
Any tips, suggestions or advice? Success stories? And how did you make friends? Tia
