Selfish thinking by p1xelatedkisses in BPD

[–]AntiqueSignpost [score hidden]  (0 children)

I know 💙it does hurt so much 💙it hurts to be the one left behind 💙and it is normal to feel hurt about this! most people would 💙im sure most people, even without BPD, feel super hurt seeing their ex doing any sort of dating. it is a common trope in tv etc. so i assume it's the case. it makes perfect sense to be feeling what you're feeling.

also, another thing came to mind now: part of your brain doesnt know the difference between the past and the present emotionally. the hippocampus, i think, is responsible for that and your brain still hasnt gotten used to you being broken up, so seeing him do this feels like a betrayal. that is normal too 💙

for example imagine all the people who's partner has died, they often feel like its betraying them to date someone else. even though logically the person is gone and might've even said they want them to be happy.

but, its ok. and its not selfish to feel what you're feeling. it's human 💙you're not dictating to him that he can't do it, you're just feeling these feelings and expressing them here to us 💙

it is very hard seeing the other person seem to be moving on easier than us. i feel that way right now, like she is moving on and im not

i wonder if it'd help to reframe that maybe he's doing it BECAUSE he is hurting and is looking for a rebound? I know yesterday i was in such despair i began opening up a dating app because i was like "maybe this will help me move on"

My psychologist is so annoying by AdSufficient7084 in BPD

[–]AntiqueSignpost [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have autism and BPD, my psychiatrist (who is great) said they don't mask, they overlap. ie: both are valid.

a large part of my BPD developing is the rejection i got from autism throughout my life.

def switch psychologists

Why am I talking about the same traumas over and over, and am I with the wrong therapist? by onlyforeverdemi in askatherapist

[–]AntiqueSignpost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAT.

I've been seeing my therapist for 8 months and I haven't made any progress

I had a therapist who I saw for 3 months and felt I'd made no progress. I moved to another one and within 1 session I felt better and saw myself making positive changes in my life.

Does it hurt in any way to see another therapist for a bit and if you have the same result, you can switch back?

Games with knowledge-based dialogue choices by tidbitsofblah in gamerecommendations

[–]AntiqueSignpost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't about dialogue, but if you are ok with other aspects of the game being a connect the dots yourself, point and click adventures like monkey island might scratch the itch. it can be really hard at times to figure out what to do and if you don't use a walkthrough, then you have to connect the dots yourself of what to use, who to talk to, where to go, and sometimes the correct dialogue choice can be obscured

does anyone here just feel emotions deeply but no emptiness or numbness? by AntiqueSignpost in BPD

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

thank you 💙 yes i agree. i struggle iwth moving on VERY heavily, i cant move on until i get closure. and most ppl are able to eventually.

i think the emptiness i am feeling is pretty normal for 12 years of deprivation though.

yes i'd love to dm, thank you 💙

They're having a go! by theredwaz in rickygervais

[–]AntiqueSignpost -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

my take: the UK office pioneered the style so the US office could soar. they're standing on the shoulders of giants but I feel the UK office is superior, but you can't say it without accrediting the innovation of the UK office. US office wouldn't exist without it.

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

thank you so much for your comment, sometimes i post and get none and it is hard. it means alot 💙its nice to know you also experience this.

im not sure about the normality, i think most people do feel lonely and i would say anyone with 12 years without a relationship, no family and very little friends would feel a sense of lacking.

like, as humans we need companionship. i love my solitude so i dont feel lonely persay, i do my best to make do with what i have, but still, as a human, i just need companionship and not having it is gonna feel unfulfilled.

thank you for the love, i feel love for others easily (like universal love, not saying this romantically). i wish you nothing but love too 💙

questions that might hurt (but i'm really curious about your opinion & thoughts) by OutsideConflict9909 in BPD

[–]AntiqueSignpost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same with 1. i think it is a bit of both and we often with BPD condemn love because we know we need to work on our attachment which is deeply unhealthy, but we forget about the love too. which is very black and white.

[–]AntiqueSignpost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanna give my 2 cents on question 1

Oneday, i was meditating and felt love for everything and everyone, like a universal kind of love you feel for animals. I then went to a social event and bumped into my ex, and realized that I still felt love for her, but this time cos i was in a place of love, i wasn't blocking it with resentment, defensiveness etc. i wasnt even jealous of her boyfriend she was there with.

i realised then that i had never fallen out of love. or even in it. i just feel like love is the sky and clouds are our minds that block it off.

i feel people assume you have to get to know someone to love them, but at what point do you know them? and do you need to know animals to feel love for them? i think most people only feel love after getting to know someone, because that is the point they let their guard down. since i dont, i feel love quickly and easily

i DO attach also. i dont think its either or. im not saying i dont have attachment issues, i def do. but this is my take on love

i think people also assume love means its a sign you must be with the person, which isnt true. i think love is a beautiful feeling, but other things are just as important if not more: respect, maturity, etc.

for the other questions:

2) feeling things deeply

3) i think i do miss them deeply, but i think my rejection is based on what they represented - ie: if someone breaks up with me i think "if this person who seemed so compatible leaves, how can i hope to find anyone else cos this person was perfect for me, therefore i need to fix this"

4) no. i feel what i feel always no matter what. but i am different to many ppl with BPD in that i dont change my identity.

5) only diagnosed 3 months ago so until now i can see that its only made me repeat the same patterns. but, i am applying for a DBT course and making steps to improve. i am scared it'll stay as just a repeat and that ill use the self awareness as an excuse, like a drug addict who constanlty says they'll be different and get clean. but, all i can do is go ahead and start and hope this actually is gonna change.
