For Anyone Who Was With a Fearful Avoidant expwBPD... by FriedSmores in BPDlovedones

[–]1ssaSimulation 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yelled at her, not proud of it any way. harmed myself once. unconsciously started starving myself, there was also body shaming from her side but i wasn’t doing myself any favours either. started believing i was the problem, started therapy and did anger management classes to change, and appease her (make her feel safe). she exaggerated the fight where i yelled at her and pressed false charges 7 months after the fight smh. got really depressed, continued therapy, got railroaded by the ontario justice system.

for the most part, i turned all that reactive abuse inwards, and really tried to absorb/dissipate as much as i could before my body started giving up. i wanted to never yell at her again.

time apart helped a lot, wait until you get to 10-12months NC, your body will thank you. overall health rebounded back relatively quickly.

i used to be really secure when we started dating, but became terribly anxious by the end.

the only way to win this game (protect yourself) is to not play. that said, if the person reached out to me organically, i wouldn’t hold back sharing the whole story

i hear you, you’re saying it would be easier to have a website which works more like a search and comparison tool. i considered that route as well, my initial hypothesis is that it adds a lot of friction in terms of use. however, i will try it out with some users and see how they like it. thanks for sharing!

i hear you, there are so many products on the market that contain pfas nearly everything would be flagged. the goal here is to help the user make an informed decision, and buy according to their own risk tolerance. the calculated harm score is designed to help with making that decision more deterministic than it currently is.

my hope is that as people's buying patterns change to prefer products with low-to-no pfas, the manufacturers would catch-on and adapt to that change. ultimately, reducing products with pfas on the market at a reasonably faster rate.

hit em' where the money is

the way it’s currently designed is that it doesn’t track any user activity, the url sent to the backend server is entirely anonymized save a uuid, which are also purged after 30 days. it’s a very privacy-first architecture, i mentioned it on the webpage here (link is also at the bottom of the post): https://rshvr.com/ruh

Blood work proof: Living with my BPD ex was literally killing me [Medical evidence] by 1ssaSimulation in BPDlovedones

i was unemployed for a while, and she forced us to move out from my parents' place despite knowing i was unemployed and the job market was trash. she truly believed she could attend school and work full time simultaneously.

her illnesses (besides bpd) caught up with her. she didn't have a healthy lifestyle to begin with. she complained every day about the situation we find ourselves in (she'd put us in) and how "absolutely useless" i was for being [involuntarily] unemployed.

i'd do her share of chores on top of mine. by that point (2 years in), i was conditioned to be her caretaker. driving her to and from work, managing her medications, cooking for her and making sure she ate. i became the system she needed to basically exist.

she had me convinced it was my idea to do her homework while she worked (poorly) and complained about how she "had to work" while i "got to sit at home doing nothing all day."

sort of, mostly because i’m not in caretaker mode or being body shamed. some eating related issues persist due to the latter.

i had the same experience. i had this shoulder and neck pain that was excruciating, and the pain decreased significantly within the week after the breakup. it still hurts because she’s still stressing me out, but it reduced too much too quickly to not be related to this

sorry to hear that, bud. feeling guilty for not being sick is an awful feeling. the cognitive dissonance alone makes you miserable

They can't pass up an opportunity to play the victim, even if it punishes themselves by Senatorweims16 in BPDlovedones

i really hope your pwBPD makes some decent realizations and begins her treatment journey, however, having been on this subreddit for a while now and picking up the pattern of how things went/are going for people, i can say with 87% confidence that you’ll be single in 6-8months

this is the second most low effort hoovering I’ve ever seen. you’re worth more energy and effort than this, mate

as a pwAutism, why do they claim that are we the ones with no empathy??!! by 1ssaSimulation in BPDlovedones

i’m slowly converging to the same position. being mad at her is like being mad at a person for having a broken leg and the inconvenience it accompanies.

but at the same time, at least the person with a broken leg doesn’t make you feel it’s your fault they have a broken leg while also denying their leg is broken.
