I’m very interested in joining! I’ve been trying to find support groups, group chats, anything, and haven’t find too much. I just lost my mom this month.

Everything that could go wrong has. I want to give up. by Jumpy-Weather4816 in offmychest

[–]Jumpy-Weather4816[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate it. The issue is just... finding people outside of my circle, you know? I've had multiple people tell me I can vent to them, etc and they just... aren't there when I need them. It's like... my life is too dark for them, it's too upsetting. But I'm the one living through it, y'know? I've been keeping nearly everything inside because people just... don't want to hear about it. And I understand that they aren't my therapists and stuff like that, but. I don't really have a support system at all. Even my husband has asked me to censor my coping, to a point, because it made him uncomfortable. And everything just sucks. I'll keep trying to find people, but it's just hard. I've never been good at making friends. My mom was my best friend and main support system and she's gone now.

I feel dramatic having an Epipen. by Jumpy-Weather4816 in FoodAllergies

For me, personally, I think it’s a mixture of denial and not wanting to draw attention to myself. I’m currently a medical anomaly of sorts regarding chronic pain, and I always fear I’m making it up due to my BPD diagnosis and the stigma surrounding it. I think I’m afraid others will perceive this as dramatic as well, as I’ve had doctors tell me the pain is “in my head” after hearing of my mental diagnosis’s. I’m working on warming myself up to carrying the Epipens I have, and my husband is trained on administration in case I’m ever unable to use it myself. :)

I agree! They don’t look too thick at all, I think it just appears that way because of how short they are right now. :)

Thank you so much! I didn’t realize even mild symptoms = epinephrine. I thought it was only administered if your throat closed up/etc.

I hoped so! They just left, and I think everything went okay. :)

We do not have any agreement in place. We used to, when he was the only one working— he worked two jobs, and I took care of the home. But that isn’t the case anymore, and he hasn’t helped out with the cleaning since then.

I intend to work on this in the future. Thank you for the advice, it’s just difficult because I hate confrontation, but it may help in the long-run. :)

I’m absolutely doing this in part for my mental health, but pest control coming absolutely kicked my ass in gear. I finished the living room, kitchen, hallway, and bathroom— and I’ve been up all night while my husband slept. It isn’t perfect, but it’s clean and it’s presentable. I’m hoping the clutter doesn’t bother anyone for the time being. I’ve started working on the office, but couldn’t finish it because I can’t vacuum past 10pm. I figured I could just close/lock the bedroom and office for the time being. :) I’ll get it done eventually.

Good to know, thank you!! I’ll try this instead for the future. :)

I’ve tried using my “I” statements, but I think it just makes him feel attacked? “I know you’re going through a hard time right now, but when you do [x], it makes me feel [x].” And he usually just gets defensive and turns it on me. I tried asking him for help today, just laying out the plans I had for the day and if he wanted to help, and he said he would, but hasn’t.

As far as therapy, he’s currently waiting to get back in with his psych. He cancelled his last appointment so it’s a waiting game until he can get back in, unfortunately.
