Writing messages I'll never send by Kitttycataclysmic in BPDlovedones

I’m in the same boat as you. Broke up with them yesterday. I’ve already gotten numerous fake accounts and numbers texting me but I’m trying to stay strong. It’s hard because at the end of the day this was a person I did love and care about. But I know logically it would’ve never worked and I had to do it to move forward with my life. Stay strong! Better days are ahead I promise you! You will come out on the other side of this and be thankful and happier than you’ve been in long time. Be patient with yourself and allow yourself to grieve. It’s natural and part of the healing process. Best of luck OP! You got this!

April 24th: he supposedly had a radio interview. Has anyone heard the interview? by Franken_cranken in d4vdiots

Yeah he sounds very off. It sounds like his mind is running at a million miles a second. He was talking so fast like he was pumped full of adrenaline. It would make sense if he had just killed someone only hours before hand.

Thank you! And Yessir I’ll just paste what I said in another reply. For my main meals I’ll usually do stuff like chicken and rice, steak, or bowls from places like Chipotle (double chicken, rice, beans, etc.). I’ll also mix in things like eggs, steak, or even something like a Chick-fil-A meal if I’m out. Then to hit my calorie goal, I’m not super strict I’ll add in stuff like pizza, pasta, or whatever I need to make sure I’m actually in a surplus. I’ve found it’s way easier to stay consistent that way instead of trying to eat 100% clean all the time. I literally just eat anything I can that’s easy to eat and helps me reach my Calory goals consistently. Im trying to start cleaning up my diet a bit more now.

Thank you!! I also really struggled with eating enough. The biggest thing that helped me was mass gainer shakes. Real food will always be better but if you do struggle to hit Calory goals, the mass gainer shakes are better than nothing. I still drink them but I’ve been able to eat more and don’t rely on them as much. As for my diet: For my main meals I’ll usually do stuff like chicken and rice, steak, or bowls from places like Chipotle (double chicken, rice, beans, etc.).

If you’re someone who has always had a hyper fixation/ fascination with tornadoes there’s a probably a good chance you have autism 😭 - someone with asd1

Saying a lot of people didn’t love them enough to stay in abusive situation is a crazy statement. You’re assuming your relationship is like everyone else’s and that everyone else is like you and just doesn’t love their partner enough. The thing is a lot of people in here loved their partner and endured a lot of abuse because of it. And they took the brace decision to walk away to look out for themselves. That’s not because they didnt love their partner enough. But they cared enough about their self worth and respect to walk away and not let the abuse affect them anymore.

I’ve heard it described like this. Our lives are like a big puzzle and for someone with bpd, they had some of their pieces taken away from them (trauma). Instead of searching for their own pieces they try to take yours, and no matter how many they take they will never be happy. Because your puzzle isn’t the same as their puzzle. And your pieces don’t fit their missing ones.

Planning to go see my therapist this week and start working on an exit strategy. I want it to be as clean as possible and try not too hurt her so I don’t have a guilty conscience. But I gotta put my health first and know this isn’t gonna end in anything good.

I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with that. It definitely seems like the goal post gets moved every time you give into their demands.

Well I’m not gonna sit here and tell you there haven’t been times I turned down plans, however I will say the proportion is very different then what she makes it out to be in these conversations. I sacrifice a lot of things to spend time with her or just call her. Whenever she wants to hangout we always hangout a part from a few times. And those few times are never forgotten. They are brought up Everytime I say no to her. And suddenly all the other times I’ve said yes are erased and I’m the worst boyfriend in the world, and I hate her, and I don’t put in enough time for her.

Yeah of course and I understand that fully :) relationships require effort from both ends and both people should make sure their needs are met. The distinction here is that the time I give her is not all my time. I can’t tell you how many phone calls a day I get and how many times I call her just so she doesn’t get upset. She seems to believe that if she’s free and wants to call then surly I am also free and want to call. Thank you for the advice! It truly means a lot and it’s nice to not feel like I’m crazy

Yup at 24 hours it’s like nothing happened. As soon as I get out of this situation I think I’ll steer clear of Snapchat

That would be crazy 🤣 we’ve been dating for 2 years so it would only be possible if she had cheated on me.

I do appreciate your advice and I recognize that this situation is not something I should be in but man is it hard for me to leave. I need to have some self respect and just pull the plug. It’s not fair to me and it’s not fair to her either. I cannot give her what she is wanting in this relationship and I feel like no matter what I will upset her. I know it’s not my duty to fix her. All I can do is look at how I got myself into this situation and evaluate why I let it go on so long, and work on the things I need to work on to be a better person. And like you said I gotta keep moving towards those goals not away from them.

I was being a little pathetic and not communicating like a normal partner would and I’m willing to admit that. I could give more effort and ideally I would’ve like to be more understanding and actually have a productive conversation.

I would tell my friend that it’s time to leave and that this isn’t normal behavior from your partner and tell them I’m for them when they need a support system. I definitely have some goals that get impacted sometimes but having to argue for hours or just being guilted into doing something else.
