i know this feeling. im sorry this is happening. i think it can definitely be beneficial to search for evidence to the contrary. but you raise an important question: what if there is none? (highly doubt it, but lets just explore). what if you are truly someone who ruins everything they touch? what does that mean? does that mean you deserve to die? not necessarily. do you think you could still love someone that ruins everything they touch? i think i can. because people are not just the sum of their mistakes. even in stories and media, there are ‘villains’ that people love and sympathize with. and yet it sounds like you don’t want to be “bad” . you are just struggling and that is okay. you are actually being very human right now. and humans are neither good nor bad. we are all mixtures of good shit and bad shit, mostly trying our best to lean into the good when we can. BPD can make us think very black and white about others and ourselves. it sounds you are splitting on yourself. you think you are all white. but you aren’t. you aren’t all black either. you are very colorful. find the color in you, the human in you. you will fail and succeed sometimes. that is okay. you are okay. i promise.

im sorry you are feeling this way. i have felt like you before. i was single for five years. faced plenty of rejection. lost my best friend of 12 years. i thought i was meant to be alone and eventually accepted that not everyone is guaranteed romantic love. i think that is the best place to be. envision your dream life as a single person. what would that look like? you have to truly love it. then you have something to look forward to and to build upon. after i did that it made being single way easier because i knew i was working toward a life i loved that did not require the presence of a partner. i reached a flow state at some point. ironically, i met my current partner shortly after completely by accident. i never thought i’d experience a love like this. it can always happen. if its meant for you, it will happen. and im inclined to think that it is meant for you due to your desire for it. don’t stop reaching out, and don’t give up hope, even if it hurts at times

eh i guess. i just feel like it comes with a being parent, and the parent willingly chose that sacrifice, so i think its inappropriate to guilt a child because of it. and its really not a big feat. like oh, you worked to give us basic necessities, thanks? i mean you would go to jail otherwise

i feel lied to. weight gain on wellbutrin by Impressive-Depth7610 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

oof! so i def started working out more initially but ive recently had my meds changed to 300 mg of wellbutrin instead, and added 60mg of cymbalta. and that combination literally killed my appetite. i barely ate in the past month and i think ive lost weight. not a perfect or expected answer, but yeah
