Self Control

I am currently reading a book about borderline personality disorder. BPD. In this book, they share real life stories about people they have tried to help. One thing that comes to my mind. Is self control. None of the stories did I see anyone willing to control their anger or moods.

Me personally, I’ve had anger issues and the "woes me" syndrome. But I learned my lesson through correction from my Heavenly Father. He also used my kids to correct me. As a mom, our kids are gifts from God so we love them and don’t want to hurt them. It was my fear of sinning against God and ruining my relationship with my kids that helped correct my behavior.

There is no fear of consequence from those with BPD. That’s the biggest culprit right there.

The first step to recovering from anything whether it be addiction or attitude, is accountability. Stop pointing the finger and stop the victim mentality and "gird up your loins" like God would say and own up to your own behavior and make changes.
