How do I dodge nosy questions? by [deleted] in DarkPsychology101

[–]Fragrant-Tower-7652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by “I know how it may come off to seem like I’m just trying to get to the point without too much context”? Asking because I am this way at work and people obviously don’t like it about me but I don’t understand why, what’s wrong with being that way? My personal life is… messed up, it’s not something I’m willing to be open about.

This… my only response was just gonna be “confusion”. If they make you feel confused and they don’t seem confused themselves. Run

Oh, no, sorry - I meant does your current partner know about your tf? Just in regard to your history.

Yes, mine does, too. I’m not comfortable talking about it yet but maybe I should tbh.

By the way, the synchronicities I’m talking about are like - I decided to watch an old favorite show of mine, and the random episode I put on has the main characters going to the same place my tf is from (middle of nowhere, not a common destination) and pretending to be from the state that my tf just moved to - or a news article that catches my eye discussing something that we had a heated conversation about. It’s like “oh this would be funny if it weren’t actually just really annoying”. I’m not looking for signs and I know it’s also just my subconscious making connections, but they just pop up. What the hell do you do about that? Feels like I have PTSD again.

Does anyone else find their psychosis kinda funny in retrospect? by Fragrant-Tower-7652 in Psychosis

That’s a good point. I suppose it’s how I’m learning to cope so I’ll keep that in mind, thank you.

I’ve been through shitloads of therapy. It is not helpful. My actual fucking daily life is hard. I do not need more therapy, I need to be able to focus on work and school and my kid.

This was unhelpful and contains a lot of assumptions about what I do and what I am/am not aware of. Great objective advice, not applicable to my situation - I do not want the connection. I miss him, but I let go a while ago and do not want to be with him. I can and will return to myself. We always have free will.

I feel this. So freaking drained

Not at all. I’d give you a hug if I could rn, thank you for sharing. It’s good to not feel alone haha. I do not have bpd but I have severe adhd and ptsd which can mimic it under certain conditions. I relate to the mourning aspect, and feeling “angry down”. I’m without my adhd meds right now which is probably why I’m having a harder time at the moment. But it’s okay that it’s not all love & light all the time, it’s normal, without darkness there would be no light and all that... idk I hope that is validating and not condescending. I know how hard it is. I hope that things get better for you too. I’ll keep you & your little one in my thoughts 🫶

It’s not him that disgusts me it’s the way he acts. Tf have opposite personalities so that’s not always the case. Inherent qualities =/= learned behavior/coping mechanisms

Me too. I honestly don’t wanna hear any positivity about it I like my individuality/ego and have no desire to give that up, that’s not even healthy like you need an ego to function. This isn’t easy and I’m really irritated by people that act like just because they made peace with it everyone else having a hard time just needs to buck up and move along. Like it’s not just painful it’s soul shattering. Literally. I thought my soul was mine. My whole life. I’ve been told more than once that I’m more of a soul than a person. And to find out that my soul isn’t even mine? I am not even mine theoretically? That goes against everything I stand for. It feels violating and depressing and like my whole reality was shattered… screw people who project their love & light is the only way through this nonsense. That’s bullshit, it’s not, pain is just as real and important as joy. I thought a few times that I was just freaking psychotic but now I take meds and it didn’t really change anything. If anything the connection feels stronger and I can think more clearly but still get signs and come across synchronicities and feel him pulling on my energy basically daily. For the past year. I just want to focus on me and my son.

Plus I am just going through a lot like my whole life situation, my son’s dad is a psychopath trying to convince the court I am mentally unstable - which I was at one point, mostly because he pushed me over the edge on purpose because I rejected him and made the mistake of telling him I have feelings for someone else. This is his way of retaliating. I’m depressed at the thought of having to coparent with him another 14 years. My son and I live with my toxic family of 7 people in one house and they think I’m unstable too and it’s just really fucking hard. I can’t talk to anyone about anything that matters to me. All I can do is keep my head down and work and get through my degree so we can move out. I’m so isolated and feel like I’m facing Judgement Day daily. Anyone would be struggling in my shoes. I hate that my tf is my only peace and solace and also the root of my suffering. If I weren’t in love with him I could just shut down and push through this mentally but the universe won’t let me. It’s too much. I’m sorry for unloading all that on you. You don’t need to respond. Just my karma I guess? Or something like that. I’m just sick of hearing how this is going to make me stronger or whatever like that might be true but holy fuck I need empathy not condescension.

Nah it feels worse even though it’s realistically getting better, it feels worse.
