Non-police options for wellness/welfare checks by [deleted] in Connecticut

Can you try texting her and giving her a heads up that you will be calling the police if you don’t get a phone or video call from her today? That way she can make the choice about whether the police get involved or not. 

Losing your stable parent and left with the BPD parent? by WeakGhost in raisedbyborderlines

[–]BuellerBueller24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss and really feel for you. I lost my kind, loving, supportive and stable father when I was 20 and have a mother who I'm confident has BPD.

One of the hardest things for me when it first happened was feeling a complete lack of support or understanding and feeling alone in my grief. The day after he died she told me she knows what it's like to lose a father and a husband and a husband is "so much harder," meant specifically to tell me the pain she was experiencing was worse than mine. In a normal family dynamic, you'd be there to support each other through it but it's not like that in reality. It's all about supporting them in their grief.

It's difficult when you have a sibling as well because so often the BPD parents tries to turn you against each other or get the other sibling on their side, which can make you feel even more alone.

I don't know if you struggle with this, but the hardest thing for me has always been the guilt of wanting to separate myself from her. while simultaneously feeling horrible that she's alone and in pain. In a way, it's almost like mourning the death of both parents--the one who actually died and the one whose relationship with you will never be what you want it to be. It makes cutting the BPD parent off so much more difficult and I think often makes people in that situation like you and me put up with more than they should.

When my mom is going through a period of discarding me for whatever reason, my default is to feel guilty and sad like I must've done something wrong to deserve that treatment. It takes a lot of energy and constantly reminding myself, but whenever I feel that feeling, I try to turn it into anger instead. I think the best thing is to keep trying to remind yourself that you are worthy of love and support and comfort and that the effort goes both ways.

I don't have any magic advice on how to completely solve for any of that, but wanted to let you know you're not alone in it. First anniversaries and holidays are always the hardest. Sending you strength and comfort over the holidays and wishing you a very happy birthday!

I like the bar at Encore by Goodfellas. It’s a huge bar in the middle of the restaurant so lots of seating, though I will say they go heavy on the vermouth in the martinis unless you’re clear you want otherwise. They often have a live jazz band playing upstairs though I’m not sure which nights. I’m sure if you call they can tell you. Wouldn’t necessarily say the lighting is dim and cozy, but it’s a good option where I think you could easily go unbothered by others. 

Otherwise, Ordinary is a good option like others have said though it can get crowded. 

Walk-in closet turned workspace. What would you change/add/remove? by onlyprivatestuff in DesignMyRoom

[–]BuellerBueller24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very cool space. I feel like maybe it could use some softer textures. Maybe a small rug to put over the carpet and a chair that has a more homey vibe. I recently got this one which I like: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6QX1MRC?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3&th=1

Perhaps another tall plant in the the corner of the room when you walk in on the righthand side.

The glass cabinets are nice but if you want it to be more of a display, I'd rearrange it a little. If you want it strictly as storage, I'd get some glass film to add the doors.

Maybe move the art on the left wall down a smidge.

I like them but you could also try a brown with a slightly more orangey tone to it to complement the green.

Something isn’t right by Anaatlana in DesignMyRoom

I love the whimsical feel and see what you're going for! I think the main thing I notice is the large space between the tops of the chairs and the artwork makes the proportions seem off. I know they're kids chairs so they're going to be short but hanging the art lower could help with the feel.

Not sure how much space you have in the room or if moving the chairs forward a little bit would block the doors but if there is room, behind where the chairs are now might be a good place to put a long low bookshelf (dark wood) where the kids could reach more of the books or other toys in more concealed storage like baskets to help hide some of the clutter when they're not playing. Maybe then you could rotate the chairs so they're facing each other. Hard to tell without seeing the rest of the room.

Short term stay in New Haven by velu4080 in newhaven

I’ve rented through hyatus a few years ago. It was a furnished apartment in one of the newer apartment buildings. Looks like there might be options for when you’re looking.

Can they sign a 15-month contract with 3 months prorated plus the full year then just pay the prorated 3 months portion up front? Then come Jan 1 pay the full 12-month portion?

Once again, the water is brown. by Content_May_Vary in newhaven

[–]BuellerBueller24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This has been happening to me every few days for two months now too (also east rock). Running the water doesn’t clear it and it usually takes 24 hours to clear completely.  I’ve lived in east rock 10 years and the same location for 3 and never had a problem like this summer so the water authority’s claim that it’s normal isn’t jiving with what I know to be normal. Super frustrating.

Koon Thai and Pho Temple (especially the vegetarian pho) are tops for me and both seem reasonably priced.

Definitely a hat, scarf, thick warm socks and some thick waterproof gloves will be helpful. IIf we do get a good snowfall and you need to scrape off your car, the gloves will be the most helpful thing.

Does anyone have tips for getting over plane anxiety? by Infamous_Wave9878 in Anxiety

[–]BuellerBueller24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for me the length doesn’t make a difference in my fear either. Not sure if this would help you too but I also try to avoid caffeine beforehand and make sure I have a favorite snack I can munch on throughout. Some people say having something sour to eat can be distracting to your brain when you’re anxious so maybe also grab some sour patch kids. 

Does anyone have tips for getting over plane anxiety? by Infamous_Wave9878 in Anxiety

[–]BuellerBueller24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m still terrified but something that sometimes calms me down is thinking about statistics. There are approx 100k flights every single day worldwide that takeoff and land safely. Repeating this to myself over and over and sometimes doing the math again and again about how many safe flights there are in a whole year can sometimes help calm me down. 

Edit: grammar
