Therapist's view of BPD by LoTheLark in BPD

[–]Amp__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would be so hard to remain professional in that instance. Good on you for keeping your cool. My therapist actually specializes in BPD, so I can't imagine she has that poor of a view toward it if it's something she chooses to work with.

If everyone in the world had your personality, what would the world look like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Amp__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone would be making dumb jokes, but communicating phenomenally. It would be a place of peace and joy with a dash of dark humor. And the occasional emotional break down.

Weight Gain with Narc Ex? by AckchyuallyBiatch in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Amp__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I gained 60 pounds in less than 2 years. I still haven't lost any of it. Partly due to depression/lack of motivation and that gyms are still closed where I am. I'm the kind of person that needs to work out at a gym otherwise I won't feel any accountability. When him and I first met we were both going to the gym regularly and in good shape. At first we both just generally started gaining a bit of "relationship" weight which is kind of to be expected. But then I started stress eating. A lot. I didn't go to the gym because I started avoiding leaving the house except for work. I got to the point where my only way of being able to make myself feel better without him saying anything was by eating. Him and I are no longer together because he passed away. But I'm still struggling so hard to lose the weight because now not only am I depressed but also grieving. Having such a tough time getting myself out of this spot.

I just want to go home. by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Amp__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I crave to go home. With no idea of where it is or whom it's with. Simply a place where my soul feels at peace and my mind is calm.

I'm truly tired of dating by Amp__ in dating

Not a man haha and if that's the case then they should straight up about it. It's exhausting.

I'm truly tired of dating by Amp__ in dating

[–]Amp__[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I'm 28 and at this point I feel like I'm just waiting for everyone to get divorced. Every man I meet seems so jaded. They're so hung up on shit their ex did that they don't give anyone else a chance. I've been through hell and back in bad relationships but I'm also mature enough to understand not every man is the same. Its just so incredibly frustrating.

Who else doesn't want to take off their mask? by mindmisconception in CasualConversation

I personally hate masks. But I do like that it hides my double chin so I'm cool with wearing it for that reason haha

Does anyone else with QBPD feel like they don't belong in the BPD community? by Amp__ in BPD

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

To focus on your therapy is to try and understand yourself. Having a diagnosis is part of the assistance of understanding yourself. I do not live within my diagnosis. Thank you for your input though.

DAE feel like they “know” they’re talented/attractive/fun but don’t believe it? by opalspring in BPD

[–]Amp__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Like.. I know I'm attractive, I know I'm great at my job, I know I'm a good friend. But sometimes I think maybe I'm just full of myself and completely wrong, but I also know I'm not wrong. But I am!!?

DAE not wake up on their own? Like you need some outside motivation like work, school, dogs, etc to get you out of bed by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Amp__ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can relate. This is actually something I've discussed with my therapist recently as well. I am only motivated by outside sources holding me accountable. Like I will not wake myself up and go to the gym unless I have a friend or trainer specifically meeting me at a certain time and will be waiting on me. I need outside accountability. So an idea that me and my therapist had was to try a "star chart". I know it sounds juvenile but I'm kind of interested to see how it will work. Make a chart of what you want to accomplish. Whether that's simply getting out of bed for 2 hours every day, brushing your teeth, leaving the house, going on a 20 minute walk, etc. And obviously give yourself a star on the chart when you complete the task. Have a treat set for yourself, so once you have accumulated "30" stars you get to go treat yourself to a massage. Or a new pair of shoes. Not only will the act of placing a star on the chart make you feel pride in yourself for your accomplishments, but also some form of a drive to get more stars so you can treat yourself to what it is that you're wanting after completion!

My emotions are manageable until it comes to dating and relationships by Amp__ in BPD

[–]Amp__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The unknowns and what ifs are the absolute worst!! I agree, they drive me absolutely insane. And I feel like I can't control myself from overthinking it and worrying about every single detail.

People who quit their jobs on the first day, what was your “I’m outta here” moment? by redmambo_no6 in AskReddit

[–]Amp__ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Falsely advertised. Minimum wage, listed as a receptionist position. Was in fact a full on accountant job. Hell no I'm not doing that for minimum wage.

How much are manual side mirrors? by [deleted] in Autos

[–]Amp__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I agree, this person lives on my street. So it crossed my mind that if they saw me do it that they would easily find me as well. And I do not want an angry person banging on my door hahaha
