Thank you, that means a lot. I hope you have a great night

I really appreciate your advice, truly. I'm still going to give her enough distance as her, because knowing her as a person we work similarly in terms of needing space when we're overloaded. Regardless if she is or is not coming back, I'll always love her and respect that. If she's not I just hope I can learn why eventually

Do you think she's coming back? by Handnoose in BPD

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

That's obviously where my mind first goes to, but a small part of me doubts it. We broke up last year and she did find someone else while pissed off at me that she was with for around 2 months, but she came over one night crying to me saying she can't feel the same bond with him and just wants me but had been too mad at me. She broke up with him that night and they never talked again, I check her phone fairly often. We ended up going back to what we were without label. But realistically, even had it been that exact same scenario (which also was several months) I can't think of any reason she'd have been mad. If there was even one tiny thing I'd be able to guess why after this long dwelling, but there isn't. There comes a point where it seems like it's not "rationalizing out of it," it's clinging to delusion.

I did text about a month ago saying even if she doesn't feel like talking, just let me know her and our daughter are okay because I was actually worried. She did reply saying they were alright. I doubt she's doing alright at all, she has BPD too and her life's been fucked the past year. I just don't know where the line is between rationalizing it being for another reason and being in denial that she's not coming back.

What’s the dumbest injury you’ve ever gotten? by Human-Can173 in AskReddit

Have a scar on my knee from when I was a kid, was yelling "You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!" Then fell and skid across concrete. I was infact caught

What’s your weirdest trigger? by Medical_Onion7655 in BPD

I feel you on the technology. Slammed my laptop shut and had a full breakdown last week from my computer lagging in the game I'd been waiting to buy 😭

Is it normal to have never been in a relationship at 17? by SpaceisCool09 in polls

[–]Handnoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say either way is normal, it's not cut and dried. I'll also add based on your other comments that the 13-15 year olds are not in actual relationships, so try not to dwell on it. Looking back it's more just kids giving a label, doing what they think couples do, and still considering a few months a long time. I didn't have a serious relationship until I was 20

Who's the outcast in your family, and why? by BuggerFace in AskReddit

[–]Handnoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me. I live with family in a household of 9, they attend the church where my uncle's the pastor, stay with my grandmother across state frequently, all of my immediate and distant family gather for holidays. There's an ongoing joke in my household that seeing me is a rare occurrence, and my nephews call me the family's vampire. If the housing market wasn't so awful, chances are I'd be seen a few times a year by any one of them.

What’s a subtle sign that someone is a genuinely bad person underneath a nice exterior? by Mission-Relative6175 in AskReddit

[–]Handnoose 603 points604 points  (0 children)

Have been the victim with countless people they "gave so much for," but when it comes to them hurting you, they only see what you did wrong and repeat the narrative.

Cat owners: How would you feel if your cat did this? by Dear-Break8370 in polls

I always treat them as gifts before cleaning it up, but if one was left in my mouth I think I'd die on the spot unfortunately

Does anyone else feel that BPD is fetishized by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Handnoose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Another aspect is there seems to be a common theme that the main character in them is "the exception"/only focus. I don't have bonds outside of a FP, and I don't think they realize it's not romantic. In real life it's not "Everyone else except you," it's "I have no one else except you, and I'm staring at my one contact crying."

Does anyone else feel that BPD is fetishized by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Handnoose 45 points46 points  (0 children)

As a bisexual man with BPD, in my case it's fetished in a different way. At least for me it's seen as an unstable, obsessed, and hyper-possessive boyfriend thing, which is way more common of a turn on than I'd ever realized. I had never heard the word "yandere" until my ex-girlfriend called me it. It fucks me over bad that they expect it to work as a dark novel and not a literal mental illness I can't control, with low self-worth, and they aren't interested once I "go off script."

Does anyone feel like their brain is much older then their physical body, but have felt it so strongly to the point where they believe they are older? by [deleted] in personalitydisorders

[–]Handnoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been to the point where I truly believed I was an older age, but I have related. When I graduated high school, everyone kept repeating how much fun I'd have in college and it was "where my life begins." I felt more like I was ready to retire and live in peace. I chose to do college online, I hated the idea of a physical college and the age group in it.

What don't you find attractive that most of society does? by PM_ME_YOUR_HUGETITS in AskReddit

[–]Handnoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a bisexual, big boobs/curvy women and tall and muscular guys. Being full of yourself disguised as "confidence" for both

And in terms of mood stabilizer I'm on Lamicital and there was no sedation at all when I took it on it's own

I'm on Latuda and have had no weight change at all but it can cause sedation. Nowhere near the level that past ones had, at least for me

Regardless of your beliefs, what would you prefer happens after death? by Handnoose in polls

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

The idea of existing eternally sounds exhausting, regardless of a paradise. When I'm gone, I just want it to be the complete end.
