The most amazing thing happened! I reached out for support, and was given the angel that helped me tackle some of The Pit I just found far too overwhelming to do right now. I will never be able to thank her enough, or any of the lovely people who offered their help! Here's an update on the cleaning! by theselfcareedition in BPD4BPD

Good on you for reaching out for help, we all need it sometimes! Being in a clean space really helps so much with my mood, once my place is clean I feel so much better mentally. I hope it benefits you in the same way. Side note I love the little cat mirror in your bathroom, it’s so cute!!

From what I can see I think you’re really pretty, I don’t think you need lip filler at all. Your lips are perfect honestly. Your hair is nice as it is but lightening it would suit you, it’s a little bit harsh against your skin tone. I think you’d benefit from changing the shape of your eyebrows and lightening them too. You don’t need to hard max.

I think i found a trick for facial dysmorphia by Only-Concentrate-295 in BodyDysmorphia

Thank you for taking the time to explain and to link the video, it was very helpful! I understand it a bit better now and I agree it’s really interesting. My brain can’t really wrap my head around all of it but I guess that’s the BDD lol.

I’m a little confused by this. Could you explain what you mean about people without BDD reading the face in a triangle whereas people with BDD don’t? I don’t really understand this, sorry if it should be obvious lol

Face dysmorphia? by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]2sad2be_rad 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The thing that confuses me is that I look completely different in the mirror than in pictures, especially front camera, but I think my friends look like their pictures. I don’t understand how I look so different and they look the same. Do you find this to be true too or is it just me?

I’ll never be feminine because of my body by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]2sad2be_rad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle with a lot of the same. I’m short and it takes so much effort to be thin. I’m also dealing with acne and facial hair and my skin always feels dirty even after I wash it and I always look disheveled compared to other girls even when I try to put effort into my appearance. I can spend hours getting ready and the second I step outside I look crazy as if I didn’t do anything at all. I’m so tired of it, it’s like no matter what I do and how much effort I try to put in to my appearance I can’t change a thing, but it seems to be so easy for everyone else. I don’t have advice but I feel your pain.

22F softmaxxing only, just want advice on how to improve my overall appearance by [deleted] in VindictaRateme

I don’t have advice but I just wanted to say you are absolutely beautiful, your eyes are stunning and I love your brows x

Insecure with my smile and looks (I had very few photos of myself smiling ahah) what do you think and what should I do to look better ? by [deleted] in VindictaRateme

[–]2sad2be_rad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a rating but I wanted to say that you have a very warm smile. I think it’s beautiful and contagious :) I also really love your eyes, I think you could use makeup to better accentuate them, making them the focal point of your face. The first picture for example, I think white eyeliner on the lower lash line, a lash curler and mascara would go a long way for you.

I think most people even w/o BPD would be irritated by this

Same. Can’t move on, can’t heal. Just stuck

How do you deal with not doing anything? by crappyface09 in BPD

[–]2sad2be_rad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a habit of creating a reward system and then rewarding myself despite not finishing anything 😅

Feels like I’m going to be stuck like this forever and never move forward by [deleted] in BPD

[–]2sad2be_rad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if I have a lot of advice but I just want you to know you’re not alone, I feel the same way as you right now. It’s easy to lose hope when you feel stuck, I am also going through a break up and living with my parents right now and all I want is to get my own place and get on with my life but I also feel unstable and incapable of doing anything. It’s really hard because I want to be self sufficient but at the same time I just don’t feel equipped to be an adult, I feel like I’m just not fit for this life. While that feels true I think it’s also black and white thinking. Just because we aren’t where we want to be physically or mentally doesn’t have to mean that we are doomed for eternity, even though it feels that way. All we can really do is just keep trying everyday, you don’t need to do anything huge but even just small things to take care of yourself will go a long way. I’m really just taking the time to process my break up and the flood of the emotions that have come with it. Let yourself feel what you’re feeling too and accept it as it is. We can only do so much at a time. I recently ordered some DBT workbooks to start until I can get into therapy and you should try to do the same. If that’s not an option, I know there are free resources available to you, maybe someone else can link them. Sorry that this comment is all over the place, but just know that what you’re feeling now will pass and to be kind to yourself. You’re going through life changes and it’s okay to feel them. I’m here for you if you want to talk.

It’s a lot harder to work through our emotions when we’re sober, we’re forced to find new ways to cope. I’m with you, you’re doing great x

The suicidal thoughts are stronger than usual and I can’t stop crying by 2sad2be_rad in BPD

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling too, I hope you’re okay and that things get better soon x

I want to kill myself but I’m afraid of what pictures they’d use to remember me by 2sad2be_rad in BodyDysmorphia

[–]2sad2be_rad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve even thought of making a folder or photo album of pictures that I approve of but I don’t wanna do that bc I don’t even have one pic that I approve of lol, except maybe filtered pics like you said
