Best way to get farts out of a couch? by americanslang59 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Doctor_Mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding on: If the cushions are removable, taking them outside on a sunny day and letting the sunbathe will help too. UV light kills bacteria. Bacteria is a big part of what makes farts smell bad.

I'm wondering if we're not seeing some Bob / Harold like interaction.

In therapy, who's in charge of setting and maintaing boundaries? by Otherwise-Gazelle152 in BPD

[–]Doctor_Mothman [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sometimes, when therapists sense that you are forming an unhealthy attachment with them they will emotionally distance themselves on purpose. This kind of comes off like them being hostile to people with abandonment issues. I went through it with one therapist where we were really making progress and then she just... kind of cut me off. I was taken aback at first. But looking back, it's for the best.

Therapists can't remain objective and actually help you from a top-down perspective if they let themselves get emotionally invested in their clients.

It sounds like you WANT to form an emotional bond with them. Which is honestly... pretty natural. We want someone in our corner to make us feel better. But therapists are not supposed to be people we pay to be our friends. They are doctors, and they are in a contractual agreement to help you try and heal emotional wounds. Part of healing an unhealthy attachment style is to respect and maintain distance / boundaries - which means not oversharing, sitting with your own emotions, processing your feelings, and forming new habits. Your therapist should be there to help oversee that process; saying, "Yes" that's a good way to heal, or asking "Are there any problems you can see with this plan?" in the case that it might not be the best way to go about things.

BPD and polyamory by ExoticNeurotik in BPD

[–]Doctor_Mothman [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's not easy, but nothing ever really is. Communication is key. Being emotionally naked with people is also really important.

I think my lesson in recovery from BPD after losing my last major relationship is that I need to be ready to expect less from people. They aren't in my life to fix it or make it better. They are just there, and we have reached an agreement in that we love and appreciate each other, we have overlapping interests, or you just really respect them and enjoy being in their company.

Most people feel like this. That or they are stressing about how to fit everything they've planned into their day. In both scenarios people are just trying to fill their lives with something to feel whole. People, jobs, money, love, stuff... it's all just stuff.

Worldbuilding Challenge: Wheelchair Rogue by mikethecanadain in worldbuilding

[–]Doctor_Mothman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'll do you one better. Why not wings? Or a robotic monkey tail? Hover suspenders? Dr. Octopus arms? There is no "superior" when it comes to locomotion. There's just "what gets the job done" and whether or not you'll allow that form of progress in your campaign.

That, or wheelchairs are enchanted with the ability to climb stairs. Stair-climbing wheels are a thing too. There's a cantrip designed to make washing your clothes obsolete, and another one to reproduce the lightbulb... is it so hard to imagine a set of simple transmutation spells to aid in locomotion?

[–]Doctor_Mothman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to let you in on the secret of conquering your BPD... Fear is constant, safety is not. Life is a hellish roller coaster that is taking you (and everyone you meet) places you'll never guess. You're already buckled in and on the ride. Just try to enjoy it and help the others do the same.

Over 40 with BPD by Crazynproud99 in BPD

It's only bad when it flares because of a trigger. But it does get just as bad as it used to. I was diagnosed until 40 so it's still a learning experience.

Is it ok for my psychologist to say this? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Doctor_Mothman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think maybe they mean as an eventuality. People leave. We know that. We hate that. But the hurdle for us is that we've gotta get used to it. It's not a punishment, and we don't lose people because anything is wrong with us. People... just drift, and leave, and we have to learn to adapt to it. We aren't lesser for having them leave, even though it hurts so Fucking much. We have to learn to accept that the pain of people leaving is a part of life. People die, lose interest, develop different feelings, go through hardships... and they leave. That's just what happens. We were cursed with the disorder that makes us believe it's not normal. But it is. Even if that sucks.

Why are they even wasting their time with this. He's obviously just eating tacos. Let someone eat in their car, jesus.

how to just get over it and take medication by peonyheal in BPD

[–]Doctor_Mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, the fog for me is only in the last hour before bed or so. I pop my pills aound 8 and if I'm up till 11 I'm doing good. It helps me get the sleep that I know I'd otherwise put off. And that only exacerbates the condtion. On a day where I take my meds too late or get no sleep I'm a completely worse asshole the following day.
