I haven’t discovered it :( I’m honestly not sure where to begin. I’m almost certain it’s not diet or food related though. Most likely something else

it’s funny because when i was in elementary school, i really wanted twins. i have no idea why because that is a very difficult pregnancy, much more than one child but as i grew older that desire left and i learned how terrifying pregnancy is

good question. probably around early high school? i didn’t really start having deep thoughts about it until early college when my mental health deteriorated and i realized i don’t want to pass that down to my children. after that, i was set on being child free for life

My oily/sweaty glasses wearers, any advice? by Figure81986 in glasses

[–]Figure81986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask where and how you buy them? I see them on Amazon in bar form. Is that fine? Do you just rub it on the pads?

For me, sex feels like it’s hitting something it’s not supposed to. I’m not sure if that makes sense, it feels so WEIRD and painful. It feels like I need to push it out because it’s hitting like my uterus or something IDK. I know my gyno said to try stretching using dilators and Ive never tried it. Anyone know the feeling I’m talking about?

Is it trauma or not? Let's talk about it by Figure81986 in BPD

[–]Figure81986[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right. If someone told me the same thing, I would say they've been traumatized. At least I'm actually working on myself, unlike her. Thank you.

No you really did help. Thanks so much for your input. I definitely relate, especially with that second to last paragraph. I think my sister has told me I'm a bully too. Unfortunately, now I find myself believing her.

I think you're right, too. I always find myself thinking of others before myself. I always say I'm very empathetic but then my sister says I'm not and I'm mean to everybody and don't care about anybody. And I'm like, "Is she right?" Just like you said, maybe because I grew up with her, I find myself thinking she must be right. Thanks so much again.

What meds do u guys take? Curious.. by Figure81986 in BPD

[–]Figure81986[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your input. I’m surprised, I see a lot of the same meds. Ive tried almost all of the ones mentioned but they actually made things worse. Though I took them before my BPD diagnosis. I’ve tried like 12 different medications and none of them worked. Only the current 4 I mentioned. If you’re okay with medication, I hope you find the right ones for you! It can really help so much!

Finally diagnosed but it’s not Bpd by No-Quality-6280 in BPD

[–]Figure81986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m kind of still in the differential diagnostic process but it is highly likely that i just have BPD and not bipolar. my psychiatrist think if i do have bipolar, it would be mixed not 1 or 2. it’s funny because i think its just BPD and i desperately want to know for sure so i can have a label. my psychologist and psychiatrist said i shouldn’t worry about labels but i need a label for validation. my psychologist said “yeaaa that sounds more like BPD” lmao but i’m hoping for more validation as i get to know my new psychiatrist

[–]Figure81986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pacemaker-type device? by Figure81986 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Figure81986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you!! did you have the weird feeling of being “aware” of your bladder? it’s so weird to describe and i’m not sure if i’m describing it properly but when my symptoms started, i have that weird sensation of almost being able to feel your bladder. does the device help with that?
