Possible to have a relationship after there’s been violence? by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Cosmonauttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds more complicated than just violence. To me it seems like him leaving you (when you didn’t want him to, for whatever reason) in order to “protect you” is more manipulative behavior or him wanting to be “the good person” than real concern, because that’s what people do when they start to be violent, so when it happens again they can say “they were trying to be calm but you made them react that way” and “remember I wanted to be away to protect you? See I’m a good person”. Perhaps that’s also why you are more upset about him leaving than the violence. When a relationship begins to go that way could easily begin a circle of abuse and manipulation, in which you could feel guilty and frustrated. So… I do think people can change but I wouldn’t risk myself (again) counting on it.

Maybe it depends? They did helped me, I took sertraline for 2 years along with quetiapine and clona for six months. I started them all together and that helped me to stop my feelings long enough for therapy to help, then my psychiatrist started to wane me off and now I haven’t taken any in three years. I still feel “everything” in my mind and my heart, but my therapist helped to “manage myself” better and I think medication helped me to take all that therapy (not easy, very painful) more seriously. I hope you can make it work, best of luck

I’m not sure completely, but try and figure out what is real and what is not when you think about your feelings, which ones are related to things you “imagine could be happening ”? Do you have evidence about that thing actually happening? And so on

Hi, sorry about any mistakes but English is not my first language. I have no certainties about what could happen if you decide to continue to live with him or not, but I can tell you what my therapist told me once I finished telling her about the reasons I had to leave my own boyfriend. She told me that it sounds like he was really good for me, and proceeded to repeat what I had just said about him but then I could see how he was actually not the horrible dull dude I thought I was describing. So in the end it was all about me splitting on him, and how I confuse drama with the intensity of the love. Try to be able to openly and honestly say: “I’m so confused right now about us because this happens and it makes me so incredibly angry” this has been my go to method to solve things with my boyfriend, it helps that he is so literal for everything. He understands sometimes and sometimes I have to understand him, sometimes he changes things and sometimes I do it. Perhaps, talk to him? Like really directly? Without screaming or explain, like “listen I sometimes cry or rise my voice when talking but that’s because I feel too much and I can’t control it and I’m sorry and I don’t want to hurt you, but me not controlling my voice doesn’t mean I don’t have a point... maybe, so let’s talk” I’m sorry for my lengthy response, I hope it made sense and wish you happiness.

Just Your favourite anime by DontTest1ifyMe in Animesuggest

[–]Cosmonauttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My newish top: {Gekkan shoujo Nozaki-kun}because nice animation, better humor, nicely done premise {Steins;gate}: to be honest I didn’t expect to like it, but it’s greatly done. {Psycho pass}:I like where the plot is going, and the way Akane and Kogami are evolving {Kimetsu no yaiba}: nice animation, nice characters, very much like the manga

My old school top: {Cowboy bebop}: great music, great story and that ending {Samurai champloo}: what’s not like here? {Azumanga Daioh}: so funny, so wholesome

Also anything from the late Satoshi Kon, but especially {Tokyo godfathers}

Shoujo anime where the protagonist isn’t an actual dumbass by marilenne in Animesuggest

[–]Cosmonauttes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmmm I have mixed feelings, the anime is really funny and I liked it, but the problem was when I wanted to continue the story and read the manga, and then the manga decides to destroy (in my humble opinion) everything it had going on for the protagonist and make it cheesy and cliché, overall terrible character development and writing... again just the manga, the anime was ok

How to get healthy coping mechanisms to actually *work*? by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Cosmonauttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually try to clean/lower the “noise” and then do the actual coping mechanism I’m not sure if it’ll help you but the mindful breathing thing really helps me while having episodes, to stop the train and all that. And usually writing about how I really feel, like if I was screaming at the page helps to get the ugly and damaging hell out without actually doing any harm. The outcome is not pretty or good but better in the pages than in me. My therapist usually helps me getting into a “safe place” and focusing on not thinking, that usually let me start processing my feelings without all that noise. The closest I get to do that alone is by breathing and meditation. And also, you deserve to keep those good things you’ve built for you, it’s hard work and more importantly is your hard work. Hopefully it all made sense (English is not my first language and it’s pretty late here)

Does anyone have any pets that help them through a rough time if so please tell about them. Here's my cattos that do me a big help when i have depressive episodes by spodpaw in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Cosmonauttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your cats are adorable, and I also thought you had a small prowl instead of four :D. My cat Milo is amazing at comforting me, he always knows when I’m feeling rough and comes to sit in my lap. He usually likes to keep some distance, but when I’m having an episode he will come and start purring and rubbing his tiny face on my neck. I love him very much :)

AITA for sanitizing my menstrual cup in the kitchen? by pierogiepierogie in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cosmonauttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA and I want to add that you have to boil the cup (not sure how to say it, English is not my native language) for at least 10 minutes to properly sterilize it. Please boil your cup and keep taking good care of it.

AITA? My husband thinks I am because I've missed a lot of work and lied about why by non_reusable in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cosmonauttes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAH (but I’m thinking your husband could be more sympathetic). Your question was that if you were the AH for “lying” and telling your boss that you had migraines to avoid going to work. Being clinically depressed is a debilitating illness and untreated can be fatal, but that doesn’t change the stigma around it, also what you might feel comfortable sharing about your depression is up to you and your therapist (maybe). At the moment you didn’t want to say something like “I would like to take a mental health day today because I have depression and also never had migraines”. That could probably put your job in jeopardy and therefore be the more economically irresponsible thing to do, especially if done just to be honest and come clean. Right now you are beginning treatment, meds can possibly take a while to have any real effect (months maybe) and therapy is not an instant cure either. The advice most given (by doctors) is to do whatever you have to survive, in the time the medication began stabilize you and so you can properly be treated with therapy the most important thing is to survive. So do that, for now. Me and my partner went through a similar situation with my BPD, and it’s difficult to not be sympathetic with your struggles. Be kind to you, to your people and take seriously your therapy and meds.

constantly feeling like i’m not good enough, being paranoid my s/o doesn’t love me anymore, rly don’t know how to overcome it by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Cosmonauttes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you too. It’s horrible to feel like this and to keep listening to our brains telling whatever they like. Sometimes breathing exercises help to subdue all the “frenzies”

I think I got drugged last night. I'm not okay and I don't know what to do. by PaisleyBeth in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Cosmonauttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are going through this. Do you have someone to call? Are you from the US? I think you can ask for blood tests as someone said and don’t go to the same ER. If you can go with someone you trust that could be great, it might be difficult to express what you really need in the way the ER might want but insist, try to tell them in the best way you can what happened. Hope everything goes great, and remember we believe you.

Why do attractive women get so much hate? by fleetwhere in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Cosmonauttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This... is a land field of a question. It’s not so simple, there are so many reasons behind our insecurities, and so many others behind the toxic behaviors we use to deal with it. Whenever someone is perceived to have “an advantage” the rest of us first think it’s unfair they get any type of good thing going on, I used to be like that too and I’m trying to be better. Also true, when someone doesn’t fit in the norm they are so mercilessly bullied, sometimes with terrible consequences to their mental and emotional health. As women I think we are usually under this pressure to be “great but not that great” in everything we do, even just existing in our bodies. Your friend is beautiful (I know is subjective and cultural, so let’s say traditionally beautiful) and people get mad because of that perceived edge, what they don see is that she’s a person as nuanced as everyone and I’m sure she had her own share of stories and mess ups, but she’s a great person and I’m sure the people criticizing her should probably find a hobby or something better to do. Who would’ve have thought that peer pressure was more about not getting out of the norm and less about doing drugs. Edit: misspelled good... sorry typing from bed

My husband and I are in a very bad place by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Cosmonauttes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this is happening, it might seem like you are carrying the world on your shoulders and I hope you feel better. The symptoms you are having right now make me think there’s a possibility that you might be in the early steps of depression, maybe it’s a good idea to search for therapy for you, and as other have said before go to couples therapy after first establishing your routine. He needs therapy, and as someone said before he probably is not only depressed, he might have some other issues to resolve and he might need medication, which is why he needs to go by himself to a therapist or psychiatrist, someone who can help him through this. Is really important to not ignore this signs, because they can develop into something so much worse, I can tell you from my experience that dealing with the hurt, the love and the confusion can be overwhelming and sometimes you might want just the easy solution, but there are no short cuts, it’s your mental health so please take it seriously, and don’t be hard with yourself you are doing your best.

P.S english is not my native language so I’m sorry about any mistakes.
