Positive Affirmations for BPD Abandonment Issues

As someone struggling with abandonment issues in borderline personality disorder (BPD), I’ve begun using positive affirmations every day. Even though I don’t believe they’re all true right now, they are the positive beliefs I WANT to hold.

I use these affirmations as replacements for my old negative beliefs and thought patterns.

I wrote them down in my journal. And every day, I look in the mirror and repeat these affirmations to myself – sometimes multiple times a day. When I have a negative belief or thought that counters one of the affirmations, I stop myself, release it, and try to replace it with the more positive belief.

This is not easy and it doesn’t always work, but I’m determined to keep trying until I KNOW all these things are true.

I thought I would share them here for anyone else struggling with being alone, letting go of a favorite person, or otherwise dealing with feelings of abandonment due to BPD. They’ve been very helpful to me, so maybe they can help you too.
