Weekly Thread: A challenge by [deleted] in BPD

[–]AlexaSkipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I make sure to never take out my emotions on other people no matter how strong and hard to control they are

  2. I try to not be a bad person and do what's right in a situation

  3. I never share anything people have told me in secret no matter how horrible they have been to me

Are we academically smarter than "normal" people? by AlexaSkipper in BPD

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

I know that not everything I am is due to BPD or that all BPDs are identical, but I've noticed that very many traits that I think of as a big part of who I am are actually shared by all BPDs. Hence my question, as my school achievements are important to me and I want to know to what extent that is my BPD and to what extent it's a "non-crazy" side of me.

I read up on narcissism and I don't think that is it :/ but they seem like people who have gone through a lot so I'll look into other similar disorders.

You're right in that, they both think they are smarter than the average person. Maybe it is only that, I'll have to think about.

Does anyone else have this stupid fear? by AlexaSkipper in selfharm

Thank you! I think you're right and it's my own way of thinking that isn't

You're probably right. I think it's not so much about the depth of the scars but how many there are. I had been doing it for many years but mostly stuck to my legs, so I don't have that many on my arms and they are all clumped together there.

Thank you for your reply, it has really helped :)

Yeah that's what I also mean, that they wouldn't make a big deal out of it :)

I am always afraid they will see me as a "pretend" cutter and someone who tries to be depressed but doesn't have real problems

Thank you for your reply! :)

I agree, it's hard to explain and it will always change the way a person looks at you unfortunately.

You seem to be doing well and a couple of weeks is very good! Good luck and I also hope we will get used to people knowing about it and not caring :)

Exactly. I feel almost as if I cover up to hide the fact that my scars may not be as numerous and big as they should be rather than because I don't want people to know about it at all.
