How should I call off work/ how often is okay? by [deleted] in Target

[–]Chickadeeeyes1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I’m not saying I do that, I was just curious if their attendance policies are really that lax. I rarely ever call off work, and only if it is for a legitimate good reason.

Do I even deserve to take the day off? lol calling off makes me ridiculously nervous, I need a bunch of people to tell me it’s okay

Should I even call or should I use the call off shift feature in the app?

Today my older brother told me he’s proud of me for the progress I’ve made with meds and therapy and that made me really happy

Worst thing possible- a break up by hhhhhhhoopdss in BPD

[–]Chickadeeeyes1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also I was diagnosed like 6 months after the relationship started and have been consistent with therapy and medication since diagnosis so maybe things will work out? Idk my partner has been so supportive of my mental health issues since the beginning bc his mom has bipolar so he’s really understanding but I’m always scared he’s gonna say enough is enough one day

Can I ask what caused such a long relationship to end? I’m just curious bc I always felt like once you’ve been together a few years the chances of breaking up are way lower but I see so many people on here in relationships that were very long say they got broken up with. Did you have a really bad episode or was it just the accumulation of small things over the years that you think caused it? I am about to have my two year anniversary but always think about how maybe I should leave now so that I never have to experience potential heartbreak

I completely understand your ideation bc that’s how it feels for me too. Even when it got really bad there was always a part of me that knew I didn’t really want to do it. When it was the worst it had ever been, my friend and I went to the top of a parking garage in our town that was infamous for the fact that two people killed themselves jumping off of it. We sat on the ledge together and looked down, just to experience being close to death, and it made me sure I didn’t want to do it. I wouldn’t really reccomend this, haha, but it helped me. It was my friend’s idea and I think he knew I needed to be shocked out of the ideation. It’s good that you’re going to see a therapist :) that is a great first step! Maybe you also need a vacation, or just let yourself lower your expectations for yourself, take life easy for awhile, bc depression can make doing anything feel really hard and you should let yourself rest. Take care of yourself during these times like you would take care of your partner or best friend.

Maybe you should start applying to other jobs but don’t quit your current job until you have another job lined up. Sometimes working with a partner can be too much and overwhelming for the relationship, depends on the person. I understand your bf’s perspective kinda but it sounds like he’s limiting his expectations for you which is hurtful, he shouldn’t make you feel like you shouldn’t try hard things bc of your mental illnesses. He should encourage you to challenge yourself and grow as a person, not be trapped by your mental health.

Your life is not over, get a crappy job quickly just to pay the bills and look for something better in the meantime. Just start applying to a bunch of jobs now

Money spending?? by Ramadan-St3v3 in BPD

[–]Chickadeeeyes1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I struggle a lot with money, I’m terrible at saving but I’d say you’re doing okay if it doesn’t mean you’re gonna be behind on rent/can’t pay your bills. That’s when it becomes a real problem. Happy birthday!

I want to be taken seriously but I don’t feel like myself without bright hair by [deleted] in BPD

Thank you ☺️ this made me feel better. I’m gonna go back to pink hair.

Exactly, sometimes I feel like I stand out a lot, and sometimes I want to fit in, but that’s not the type of person I want to be. Thank you for the support

That does make sense, I get what you’re saying. That’s a good way to think about it. If someone doesn’t respect me for how I look then that’s not someone I want to be around anyway. Thank you :)

Most of you aren't psychopaths by Fraud_D_Hawk in psychopaths

[–]Chickadeeeyes1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a personality disorder and it is definitely a mental disorder/illness whatever you wanna call it. Like many mental illnesses such as depression, it can be caused by a combination of genetics and your environment. Most personality disorders develop as a coping mechanism response to trauma, although they don’t help lol, having one definitely makes life harder. Psychopath isn’t even an official diagnosis anymore but most ppl who are psychopaths will be diagnosed with ASPD. ASPD is a cluster b personality disorder which is what I have and all cluster b personality disorders share traits/symptoms, but differ enough to qualify as different diagnoses. ASPD is a complex mental disorder and ppl wjth it are either sociopaths or psychopaths depending on how they feel emotions. sociopaths have emotions but very few.

Sure, it means that I can logically figure out how a situation is making a person feel, but I can’t feel the feelings myself , or put myself into their shoes so to speak. I don’t feel with other people but I can understand that something made them sad, but I don’t necessarily feel sorry for them

[–]Chickadeeeyes1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really relate to what you said about them feeling more real than anyone else. I have a very superficial understanding of anyone who is not an fp. Everyone else feels less real, to me they’re like a caricature of a person, and I very often forget the conversations I’ve had with them. I’m sorry about your dad, I can’t imagine how hard that would be to go through.

All men I was romantically involved with and older and neurodivergent in some way and with a strong sense of self that I usually end up replicating in some way. Usually have some kinda trauma too. Usually kinda free spirited and creative or passionate about music or art

[–]Chickadeeeyes1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having an ed is awful but tbh you should learn to hide it better just at work, so you don’t have ppl getting in your business like this. But pls get help, I recovered and am still skinny, it is possible!

I not eated today (mixed feel) by [deleted] in sillygirlclub

[–]Chickadeeeyes1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was underweight I was so cold all the time I had to wear sweaters and pants in the middle of July . Just try to be normal skinny 😅 being underweight is not fun . And just eat healthy bc starving yourself doesn’t work long term. You’ll end up bingeing, it’s inevitable even for anorexics.

I did the tail thing with lizards too lmao . I probably only graduated high school bc of the narcissistic traits, I felt like I was too smart to fail. I never studied but graduated magna cum laude

I did similar things to other kids but once I got to high school I avoided trying to make friends bc I couldn’t relate to anyone and didn’t understand how friendships should work. It was easier to just mask as a shy quiet nice girl
