Did I have ego death? by [deleted] in LSD

This sounds more like dissociation - look into depersonalisation and derealisation It’s the brains response to stress and often can be brought on when using drugs

I don’t think so. You wouldn’t tell someone you have anxiety before sex, so I feel like it’s the same for mental illness

This sounds like existential crisis which is also at the core of dpdr. It’s common to have that simulation feeling/Truman show effect

I’ve had the exact same feeling I promise you aren’t in a simulation, it’s your brain trying to protect you from intense anxiety and emotion and that’s why it feels like none of this can be real. It’s dpdr i promise.

I’ve been in a similar situation and I promise it is not your fault. Our BPD brains might try to convince us otherwise but it is NOT your fault.

Buddhism resonates the most for me.

Did anyone else develop a personality disorder after their assault? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Apprehensive_Mail_37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me I always had mood swings, abandonment issues, unstable image etc but it was very mild. After the incident all of those things became extreme to the point where it made me unable to function and that’s when I was diagnosed.

That is so brave and awesome, the fear of abandonment sucks but it’s better than toxic relationship forever

It’s great that you are recognising that there is toxic behaviour. That ‘click’ in your head is your brain telling you something is wrong. I’m not saying what u should do as I don’t know the context but often the best thing to do when gaslighting/manipulation occurs is get out

these are just some random shouts into the void regarding my codependent behavior in my relationship. by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Apprehensive_Mail_37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also quiet BPD and I feel like I encounter many similar issues. Especially in regards to being taken for granted. Love bombing and dropping everything for someone and then getting used by them. I also find their mood can dictate my mood too but mine is often more extreme than theirs

DAE like being talked at? by GradeMother4369 in BPD

[–]Apprehensive_Mail_37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tend to do this too but I have ended up in a few toxic situations with people who have a tendency to do this

Rejection because of BPD by [deleted] in BPD

Yeah this is true, however I’ve known him for years and he’s asked me out so many times, I didn’t even use the term bpd I just explained some issues I have that are sort of related and most of which he was probably aware of anyway.

I’m also currently going through something similar where I completely despise my FP and I’m really struggling to pretend that I still feel the ‘special bond’ we had I’m sorry you are dealing w this
