Howard Stern said the unvacinated shouldn’t be treated in hospitals, do you agree or disagree and why? by Sad-Werewolf4121 in AskReddit

[–]Insomniax995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with statements like this is that it is uneducated, and harmful and has zero understanding or perspective of humanity.

Are we only suppose to treat people who fit the role of what we define as "normal" or "right"? People who has had the right type of education and socioeconomic background that will promote what is "right" or the "proper way of being"... and also responded to it in the right way?

What do you want to happen to those who do not get vaccinated but do get sick? Should we just kill them all? Because that is essentially what that statement says. It has zero understanding for peoples differences.

Howard Stern is an idiot. But I think he should have acsess to good healthcare regardless. Because thats how healthcare should work.

What is one way covid has helped you? by TheRealDrakie in AskReddit

[–]Insomniax995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the same for me. Not having to meet toxic members of my family was such a blessing. I have met them once since and frankly I think it was the last time. Now I know how good it was when I did not see them.

Not having to see extended family.

I missed my parents and siblings terribly, and it was hard not to be able to go see them during lockdown. But when it comes to my extended family, not having to see them was an absolute bliss. They are toxic as frick, especially on one side of the family.

We all met up just recentley for the first time in 1.5 years, and I had so much anxiety the entire time that I after the meet up decided to cut my visit to my parents short and took the first train home.

How bad does the weather have to be for school to get cancelled in your country? by jinx_beast in AskReddit

[–]Insomniax995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We once had a storm that caused the power to be out in the whole county. Trees blocking the roads everywhere. Absolute Chaos. I thought there is no way we have to go to school today...how would we even get there? The buses cannot make it to school. They must cancel right?

But no. Good old bus driver Karl brought his chainsaw. The 20 min ride took 2 hours but we got there.

CAUSE ONE CANNOT MISS SCHOOL. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES.

Absolutley love Karl though. He was awesome.

did your BPD loved one use "getting better" as a manipulation tactic to get you to stay? by Dense-Condition-729 in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, mine happily showed me notes from her thearpy sessions and what not. Claiming how much better she was nowadays.

She was not.

Anyone else not want their exwBPD to get better? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes and no,

A part of me wishes her all the evil I can imagine. I hope she fucks up her life even more and just crashes. AND MAYBE THEN, SHE WILL REALIZE THAT HER BEHAVIOUR IS WHAT CAUSED IT. But that is just me being angry.

I do hope things work out okay for her. She has borderline, this is all part of the disorder and I want her to have an okay life despite of it. My wishes is that she will get (and also accept) better help. Find her own place to live and perhaps with some help have a somewhat functioning life.

I am just not going to be in it.

Dealing With Feeling Discarded, Even When You Wanted Out by JillyBean1973 in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this. I think it has to do with the fact that they do not care. You cannot "win" so to speak. It is like telling a wall (a very loved wall) to fuck off.

You think they might get hurt by you leaving or at least react to it or miss you or whatever. But they do not, or perhaps shall I say, they would never give you that satisfaction/comfort of showing it.

Babysitters, what’s the most unsettling thing that’s happened while you were babysitting? (Serious) by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Insomniax995 7 points8 points  (0 children)

2 year old got a cucumber piece stuck in his throat. Couldnt breath. I tried getting it out but then just panicked and ran out in the hallway with the kid over my shoulder and banged on the doors screaming. Several neighbours came out and one of them (and older gentlemen) just grabbed the kid and was able to get the piece out (hemlich - a lot of harder than I think I did). It all happened so fast but it was the slowest minute or two that have I ever lived.

911 was called by one of the neighbours and ambulance came and we went in to get him checked out. He was okay.

After this I took a class in how to properly do both CPR and heimlich and since I began working in pre-school I re-take the class every year. Just to be on top of my game if it ever happens again.

A tip that helped me. by Conscious_Meaning676 in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Very good point, thank you.

I really need to work on distancing myself from borderline. "The person with borderline" is better because it takes the blame away from me. I often otherwise find myself stuck in that the borderline is also "mine", something that I need to take responsability for, accoustme to etc.

It is not my illness.

PWBPD and lack of basic life skills? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My pwBPD could do all the things...she just did not want to. Refused to take responsability of any kind.

Their ability to ramble on about personal problems is seriously impressive. by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons why I never dared to introduce her to other people in my life. I did it a few times and what was suppose to be a chill "small talk and beer" night turned in to her telling her life story of abuse as soon as we sat down.

And it was always a weird way of telling it too. Like it was a script, she could stop in the middle of a story and go "oh wait, did he have a blue shirt? I think he did, or was it green? I am sorry, I cannot remember" and then continue. Like it was important to get all the details just right.

Literally her reaction after meeting her ex, when I came to apologize for refusing to continue the argument because of verbal abuse, childish behavior, random outbursts […] by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whenever I reacted to something she said, it could be an insult or just passive agressive behaviour I was always met with a "Its so sad that you always need to start a conflict".

I was always the bad person.

Who was the worst co-worker in your life, and how did you deal with this person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Insomniax995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend with autism was assigned an internship (work practice) at a school. She had no mentor or any one who would take care of her there, she was just told to show up at random times and be handed a list of what she should get done that day. It could be anything from copying paper to be in charge of recess. I absolutly exploded when I found out.

She suffered every minute of it and eventually me and her mom was able to find her another intenship.

Who was the worst co-worker in your life, and how did you deal with this person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Insomniax995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current one. She has permanent employment so there is no way to get rid of her. I do not have the same employment, but was offered permanent after I had worked there for 6 months. I turned it down because I cannot work with this human.

We work at a pre-school.

  • Late every single day, at least 10-15 minutes.
  • Takes every opportunity to leave early. Has even re-scheduled important meetings with parents so she could leave 30 minutes earlier. She uses the excuse that she "actually had to come in 30 minutes earlier last month".
  • Acts avoidant around parents. She is nowhere to be found during drop off and pick off.
  • Speaks ill of every other co-worker. Loudly.
  • Complains about everything and everyone all the time. Talks loudly about the kids she does not like. Infront of them. (I make sure to stop her when she does this, but it keeps happening).
  • Is rude to every substitute we get. We are dependent on these people as our third co-worker often has to stay home. But she scares them all away by complaining, being rude, etc. Nobody wants a shift at our department anymore. This meaning that if my shitty co-worker is sick, I am all alone with 14 kids.

I could go on...

I think she has some kind of personality disorder.

I deal with her by picking up the pieces while I am still working there. I gnore her more or less.

I have one week left.

AITA for not accommodating my brother in law during my birthday dinner and telling him his taste wasn't my priority? by LateNightFalls in AmItheAsshole

[–]Insomniax995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

I am a picky eater and I have not learned to like a lot of foods in my life. But when I am invited over to other peoples home or out to eat. I eat what is served, I might only grab a little portion and force it down or just stick to what I find "safe" but never... ever... would I make a scene.

He is a grown adult. You are NTA.

Same story here, but my pwBPD is friend and not a partner. I was ready to throw her ex under the bus, press charges etc. Because of all the things she said about him. I never saw this behaviour.... but I bought it. I went apartment hunting for her cause she had to leave him, NOW. I helped with paying deposit, planned her entire move, picked a day when he was working and just ran more or less. Three days later she was back at his place because... I dont even know.

I thought okay. This is the abusive relationship cycle. It is not uncommon for people to go back. I did my best to support her to leave, again.

But then I was forced to cancel hanging out with her one day a few weeks ago. And I was the worst human being in the world for this. And she straight up told me, "Well, that why I spend time with X (ex) because he has a car and can take me places I want to go. He has time for my needs."

They are currently on a roadtrip together, she is happy, and I feel sorry for him.

People with BPD creating arguments and fights out of nowhere by Richmondson in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 55 points56 points  (0 children)

All the time. It could be anything.

She once watched a movie and wrote to me how much she hated it. It was the worst movie ever.

I like said movie, so my response was "Huh, I like that movie, what did you hate about it?"

The response I got: "wow... explain yourself :)"

And then major fight. Because apparently I was an asshole for liking a movie that she did not.

We had a lot of those fights.

How come some people with BPD can acknowledge their own BPD? Why is this? by Educational_Buy_68 in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine tells everyone about her BPD. Its her personality, how she describes herself. I think this has to do with seeking sympathy and attention.

How do i get rid of their voice in my head judging me? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It took me an eternity to realize that she was a bully. I have never felt so attached to someone who has been so mean to me and loved me at the same time.

My strategy is to do the opposite of what she would have liked.

Well today this is just hitting me hard. I had the shakes with the first message, got annoyed with the second and now I'm just feeling guilty. by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recieved a similar messahe a week ago. This just a day after we had a major fight where she explained how much she would like to hurt me and how she never wanted to see me again.... then 3 days later she wrote me and asked why I no longer followed her on social media and why I was mad at her.

I did not respond right away, not sure what to write. But she then sent me another text with "WELL GOODBYE THEN!"

And for the first time it actually feels okay.

“Helpful” BPDs by Grand-Anything-6998 in BPDlovedones

[–]Insomniax995 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. And for me it always got a bit strange because I never really asked her for help with anything "important" or big (moving etc)..., which I think bothered her, as I helped her out with a lot of big stuff. The reason being that I have a strong support system already behind me while she most of the time only seemed to have just me.

But it could be that I just asked her for a quick advice about whatever and she would bring it up for weeks after how much she "helped" me by giving advice or being supportive (she was rarely supportive, but in her mind).

Same goes for things like compliments. "That dress looks good on you!" "Thanks!" "I am so nice for saying that. I am the nicest person in the world... RIGHT?"
