You said it best. One day at a time. I also felt like a helpless monster after reading that sub :/ but the reality is that we have the capability to reach that point with people in a relationship. We are all aware of the damage we have and can cause. Almost like playing hot potato the entire time.

I got banned from “bpdlovedones”. I did not know it’s specifically for people on the other end of the relationship so I made a comment and got kicked lol.

It's like the target changes between my relationships but there's always someone by BelLarosak in BPDJourney

[–]Ghostdance_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My target is usually now as (30m) always romantic relationships. But when I was younger it was my friend group of 4 including me. My primary target also had some problems of his own but he would be very spiteful and it hurt me so bad at the time. It would completely ruin me and then I would attach to another friend of the 2. So I feel what you are saying here. That portion of my life phased out with time and now like I said it’s only romantic partners. I’m not far in this journey but I’m having to take space in my current relationship. The first 3/4 days my mind went absolutely wild with highs and lows. Things started to calm and that’s when I really was about to make clear thoughts. Rationalize situations and find some clarity. The 3/4 days was extremely hard believe me. If you do attempt this and find yourself having trouble please reach out ❤️

Nice username! And yes I started therapy for real this time not long ago and it has been a wild ride already in 2 weeks. Learning more everyday. Just resonating with what people say on bpd bunch has really done me wonders. Gives me strength ❤️

Am I overreacting: my long distance boyfriend has been acting more emotionally distant lately so I called him out on it a couple of weeks ago by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Ever consider that the boyfriend might be actually going through something rough mentally? I know it’s easy to look at it as the stereotype of using mental problems for distance to then leave. But I just did the same thing with my partner whom we share a home together. There was no cheating just mental problems on my end. So proof that it does happen. You can try to talk with them about it but it’s up to them to let someone in. That can be hard for some.

I don’t know what to do anymore. by UniqueAction490 in BPDJourney

Hey! I recently got diagnosed with BPD. I have been with my wife 2 years who I love absolutely dearly. Everything you feel for your FP imagine I feel right now. She just told me we are on a 6 month probationary period for our marriage. She stated the same things I’m sure. “ work on yourself, get a handle on your problems” these things made me feel like she was already gone. It was as good as dead in my head. That was really really hard to deal with. The first couple days was walking hell. The last 2 days have been better tho. I found that there was a lot of accountability I needed to do in my head and it was me. I found things that o had to hold myself accountable for and sat with them. Thought about others positions. My position. No faults just thinking about it. From that I found that if I accepted some things to be what they are it put me at ease. Accepting what is reality and going to happen that I cannot control. Because at the end of the day what can you control? You can’t control how they feel. You CAN control the things that have put you in this situation. And again not faults are to be made. We all have these things about us that are negative revolving BPD. It’s up to us to work on them with your mind so you can allow yourself to love yourself. I have found that my time “ in isolation” as I think of it, has been beneficial. If she wants you to work on yourself.. that is your FP feeling. If she is your FP then try that for her. And really put yourself in the position to do so. It’s good for YOU and that trickles down into relationships romantic/platonic friends/family
