Mount Fuji, sentinel of Japan’s dreams, Rising with grace, where the sky meets streams. Snow-crowned monarch, serene and grand, A sacred silhouette upon the land.

if you can’t eat a whole meal, eat half. you ate, that’s what is important.
if you can’t get out of bed, try and sit up instead of lying down. it’ll be better for your back and your blood pressure.
if you can’t shower or have a bath today, try and brush your teeth and clean your ears. it’ll keep you a little cleaner, and we often forget those areas. 
if you can’t get dressed today, change underwear and use some deoderant. it’ll leave you a little fresher until you have the strength to change fully.
and remember, i’m very proud of you. your best will look different every day, and that’s okay.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

Something that comes up a lot in BPD, but also a number of other disorders, is impulse control and urges. 
It can be so hard to not give in. For example, when feeling angry, we might have an urge to scream at someone, say something hurtful, harm ourselves or any number of things. 
It’s really important to learn how to cope with harmful impulses and urges. 
One way of coping for me is the “not now, later” approach. With this approach, I tell myself that “Okay, you want to do that thing? That’s fine, but it has to be later.” I find this works for a lot of things because when I outright tell myself “no”, I find it harder to let go of the urge. By telling myself I can give into the urge, but do it later, I find I can ignore the urge in less discomfort and usually by the time later arrives (I like a sleep on it rule for later, depending on the situation), the urge has passed and I can move on. 
Some other things you can do are focus on distracting yourself whether that’s by activities you like, grounding techniques or just overall keeping busy. 
Remind yourself that you are in control. As hard as it is, you can choose not to act on your urge. It may feel impossible, but you can do it, and reminding yourself of that can help. 
If it helps you, you can journal about your feelings and urges. Sometimes writing them down can help us realize why the urge isn’t good to give into. With that said, you can also spend some time thinking about the why you shouldn’t do the thing you want to do. For example, you don’t want to yell at your friend because you know the feeling you’re experiencing is temporary and you don’t want to cause them unfair hurt which can also have lasting effects on your friendship. (With that said, if after you are calmer and you rationally think that cutting a friend off is better for your own mental health, then you should do that.)  
Also remind yourself the urge is temporary. And as time goes on, the urge should get less. This can help us because we are aware the discomfort we are in won’t last. If we feel like the discomfort won’t go away until we act on the urge, we are more likely to act on the urge to make it stop. Remind yourself that it will pass on its own. 
A few of these things fall under what is defined as Urge Surfing. The goal is to basically “ride the wave” until the urge passes, and over time, your brain will learn that it doesn’t need to react to urges.

If you see someone going somewhere in a wheelchair (or any other mobility aid for that matter) YOU should move for them. It is a lot easier for you to move than us. Sometimes even we can't move. Here we get a lot of snow and sometimes the only place I can physically move is the middle of the road. I've also gotten stuck on snowy sidewalks because people have refused to move for me. I'm so close to just running over people in my way, so please just move for us. Thank you
