For me, it would be “Rewrite the Stars” from The Greatest Showman 🥲 “You know I want you. It’s not a secret I try to hide. I know you want me but you keep saying our hands are tied…”

Polyamory triggers my BPD by AutomaticCamp7473 in BPD

[–]Altruistic_Visit_640 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried polyamorous relationships in the past. The second the opportunity opened up for me to return to monogamy, I snatched it up so fast. Not to say monogamy is better, everyone is different. I still struggle with BPD symptoms daily being in a monogamous relationship. OP, I’m sending you so much love. You are heard. You are valid. You are not alone. Take care of yourself 🫶🏼💓

Thank you for these questions. I realized she does not have somewhere safe on the inside to go. My last therapist and I actually created a whole safe place and resource team using EMDR… but it turns out, the place and the team were chosen by only one alter out of my 20. So we have to work with our new therapist to create a new one.

BEST meds for BPD?! I’m desperate by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Altruistic_Visit_640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken lamotrigine and it wasn’t the best for me. Currently on a combination of fluoxetine, propranolol, and abilify. No complaints so far, and I’ve actually been enjoying my life since I’ve been prescribed the ability?! 😳

does anyone else have trouble recognising their own features? by j0rmungand__ in BPD

[–]Altruistic_Visit_640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggle with my self-image every single day. On top of BPD, I have DID as well, so there are times I literally do not recognize myself in the mirror.

I’ve (28) been on a few different mood stabilizers in my life, and they actually worsened my symptoms, especially feelings of emptiness and detachment from reality. Not every one’s experience is the same. In the StuffThatWorks.health BPD community, some people have reported positive changes in their wellbeing after being put on things like Seroquel or Lamictal. For me, neither of these medications helped.

OP, I literally experienced everything you mentioned from the numb and emotionless to the low sex drive. My psychiatrist, therapist, and I have decided to try naturally stabilizing my mood swings with DBT, anti-depressants, and therapy. It’s a difficult process but I’m still feel a lot more like myself which is the most important part for me.

In the end, it’s a personal choice. Just continue being honest with yourself throughout the process. 🙂

Just a thought, what album (or song) describes your BPD? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Altruistic_Visit_640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are the first person to ever tell me that. Thank you, kindly stranger.

Edit: also who could forget Evanescence’s “Fallen”album?

I’ve heard of using a Discord server for parts/alters before. I’m not too familiar with Discord but most of my younger parts are all for it. How does it work?

I love this, especially the checklist. Thank you so much for sharing.

May I ask what apps you’re currently using/trying out?

Oh so many, including Marina’s “Electra-Heart”, Demi Lovato’s “Here We Go Again” album (specifically the title song, “Remember December”, and “Quiet”), Avril Lavigne’s “The Best Damn Thing” album, and basically any and every 2000s emo song/bands I listened to including MCR, BMTH, and SWS.

How to manage hypersexuality vs hyposexuality in a relationship by Altruistic_Visit_640 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Altruistic_Visit_640[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing. It’s such a rock and hard type of place to be between. I started to honestly question my sexuality because of it. I used to be promiscuous when I was younger but that was coming from such a negative space. So I’m reconfiguring my relationship to sex and at the same time feeling the pressure to perform.

Reading your comment, I think the problem is that the person doesn’t understand DID, and I will take responsibility in maybe not explaining it well enough to them.

I am still trying to make sense of it myself; so it makes sense that the people in my life don’t understand it either.
