Help with BPD (lemmygrad.ml)

I have Borderline Personality Disorder and it has not been particularly good existing so far. As far as therapy goes, in my district (in Kerala), I am trying to find a solid therapist trained in DBT. Shit is exhausting, are there any practical way of dealing with this that doesn't involving forking over an obscene amount of money? I seem to have a lot of ADHD symptoms as well. Quite exhausting.

Adding fascist India shenanigans on top of it, I am really tired. Reading theory is helping and I understand that things are changeable but how do I not fall into doomerism? especially in a country where every month feels more fascistic than the last.

Any comrades with BPD or any other mental health struggles here? How do you cope?

I don't know much about treatment, other than dbt and shadow work, but there are free dbt worksheets online. I had some bookmarked, I'll look for them over the next few days.

Is it this one DBT Therapy Skills Workbook

I was planning to go through this one.

Probably. A quick glance it seems very Western - centric and if you're short on funds, it could mean you have to find alternatives for distraction.
