ManoShala, a mental health and wellbeing company in collaboration with the BPD Humans community is conducting a session on 'Navigating BPD and Sex'.
About our collaborators: BPD Humans started as an initiative to share their personal journeys with BPD in May 2020. Milana and Maheema were lucky to be in the same college, pursuing the same course and sharing the BPD Diagnosis. They wanted to build a community for those who experience BPD since it can be a very lonely experience. The small Instagram page evolved into a Support Group guided by a mental health professional.
About the session: It will revolve around BPD and Sex discussing Hypersexuality, Impulsivity, Fear of abandonment, and Dissociation.
"Please keep white paper sheets, colors, pencils and pens by your side. You are free to discuss your experiences, coping mechanisms, vent, confess, share your grievances, etc, but abstain from intervening during a crisis or giving any advice because you are not trained for it, that is not the purpose of you being in the group, even if you are qualified, it can potentially make the situation worse for all of you, the person in crisis and other members. A Suicide First Responder will be present in case you feel triggered. Only twenty seats are open."
