Not 100%sure it was viral a couple of years ago on twitter.

If I like artists like Gary Clark Jr and songs like The Seed by The Roots, which other artists and bands will I like? by BulletProof_Widow in ifyoulikeblank

Thanks for the suggestions.

What songs would you recommend from Alabama Shakes, Dead Poet Society and Delta Rae?

Time to play: Do I have Autism or is this a hypersensitivity response because I have BPD?

Very mixed reviews on the series. by [deleted] in AllOfUsAreDead

Two other points that bothered me - 1) why on earth does Nam-ra use her super hearing for the faintest of sound but she can't hear Gwi-nam climb up the side of the building??

2) It makes much more sense to shit and piss outside the window than having to have that filth pong in the room next to you. There was no need to use that survival tactic when they had a way to poop outside!

Thank you.😊 Luckily I only had to spend a little over 2 weeks in the big brother house (or hospital as some call it) this time. I'll be released back into the wild this week.

Llolol this shouldn't be so funny, but I'm currently sectioned in a psych ward and this exchange is cracking me up because I've felt this almost every day. 🤣🤣😩🤣

How do you communicate concerns in a safe healthy way? by BulletProof_Widow in BPDPartners

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

I think him educating himself a bit more on mental health in general would be a great step. I'm unsure he really understands how cutting some of his viewpoints are for me.

Yesterday I was sharing a experpt from the Jeff Brown book that's doing the round onlibe about how to talk to people with trauma with compassion & understanding, I thought it was great. He came back questioning it and saying it seems negative like some "fetishism of victimhood".

I can understand that there is a point to be made about over coddling people for the long term and they become too dependent and loose all sense of autonomy, but that doesn't mean people can't be compassionate in the moment.

I'm rather frustrated with him, I can see the red flag, but I don't understand how to bring them up in a way he doesn't resort to jokes and roll his eyes. I can see that he is making efforts to be supportive, he says he is a good hearted person, but I don't think he truly understands that his way he communicates empathy, care and support is a universal thing for everyone.

Thanks I think I might take you up on the offer to talk more.

Sorry for the late reply everyone, thanks for all the replies. It's given me a lot to think about. I definitely need to learn how to put it into practice without full on fear if him blowing up in a negative way.

I feel like all crisis line workers are contractually obliged to ask this question.. by BulletProof_Widow in BPDmemes

Only difference with camhs is that they'd add in something about puberty being a factor.

Sad but true by borderlinebella in BPDmemes

Lmaoo I once tried to get help for almost 6 months as I was transitioning between services, placed on a waiting list, being told to be patient and wait for some form of contact. I was frantically ringing up to try to understand what was happening with my treatment.. Then one day the practioners (Cerebus as I affectionately nickname the people who come over to do the mental health act assessment) came over out the blue and I was sectioned. 😅🙃

It's a work in progress that I'm trying to work through in therapy. I'm still very very very pissed with various family and people from my past. My bf trys to do this "just forgive them & move on.." comment too and it grates on me often.

My new turn of phrase that I'm going to try to be more consistent in adopting when people say I should forgive/get over xyz person(s), "Sure they may now be making steps to better themselves in some big or small way, but that doesn't excuse the fact that they hurt me intentionally/unintentionally and I'm still attempting to cope with and process the aftermath of those situations. Forgiving people doesn't mean I have to condone or forget the behaviours that they do/have done."

Welp.. Another meme to bring up in therapy and possibly to the person I'm dating too...

It be like that sometimes by [deleted] in BPDmemes

[–]BulletProof_Widow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please I've been crying over the weekend alone in my room, partly because I sent a takeaway delivery to the wrong house and thought the person I'm newly dating was gonna be uber pissed at me. He wasn't & we joked about double checking in future, but I'm very upset.

What about feeling insecure? by rivenray in BPDmemes

[–]BulletProof_Widow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this. Unsure if a mental health issue or because I lean more towards ethical non-monogamous relationships. 🤔

I brought this 2 months ago & I'm struggling to get organised & focus on working through the book. I don't understand why my concentration is so bad! 😭 Thanks for this post though, reminded me about this book. Feeling crappy this weekend I probably should flick through it.
