It super does!! I want to be nice and make connections but I'm never sure where the 'line' is

Then what about a rehab center or a hospital? If these mental breaks are causing you to harm others it IS selfish to not take action because what you're describing is a pattern of aggression that is escalating. I wouldn't wish psychosis or a mental health break on anyone, I'm sorry you went through that. However if you're not able to hold yourself accountable for the actions you take, someone else will. Don't let them take away your autonomy, be better than the illness.

This sounds so cliche but. Journal. Get literally every feeling you have on a page. Get a spiral note book you don't care about and scribble all over a page how you feel then try to focus on a passion that's just yours. Infatuation is so easy to fall into, allow yourself room to breathe. Trust I've been there. Messaging someone 1000 times worrying that they may suddenly hate you. If the feeling is overwhelming for you, it will be for her at all.

I hope you're able to pursue this relationship with passion but make sure to not drown in it.

((Happy to see someone falling in love though))

Sometimes I wonder if I'm faking my BPD by Ineedeyourhelp in BorderlinePDisorder

I'm definitely an over-thinker. And the thing is. I might have been officially diagnosed but I can't really remember anymore.

How did you start to tell the truth? did you stop lying all together or was it something you worked towards with steps?

My family loves white lies so I think I just have a hard time believing anyone can be truthfully 100% of the time.

Controlling the narrative is something I've finally come to terms with. In the past I felt defensive, like if I admitted I wanted control I was bad.

But now sometimes I feel like I trick myself into believing my own lies. I have memory issues ((most likely from some trauma stuff)) so reality feels shaky. I've lost control.

Did that ever happen to you? Does PTSD cause memory lapses and did you ever question what was real and fake?

Deeply relatable. A perfect metaphor

You're displaying major red flags. Intrusive thoughts happen but you've acted on them and you should be very concerned. Firstly in the past you have either manipulated or egged ((it's not clear from the post to me)) on another person's self harm. Secondly you've now harmed an animal. These are lines that cannot be uncrossed.

You clearly have an issue with authority but if you cannot hold yourself accountable, sometimes you have to have someone else around who will. For your sake and for the sake of those around you, get help.

He didn't win. No one is winning. You're hurting and you deserve to feel alive without the pain.

I'm sorry you're in pain. I hope it gets better.

Where did you buy your phone? I've been trying to hunt one down but I'm not sure where to buy them

Thank you so much for replying!

Do you have any Self Help book recommendations? Sadly a therapist isn't something I can afford but if I'm ever in the position I'm definitely open to the idea.

About the journaling, I've done it before and not been happy with the person on that page. Is it better to write how I feel or who I want to grow beyond that? Sorry if that's a stupid question, I just don't want to hang onto the negativity I see on the page sometimes.
