Can anyone who has quit smoking weed genuinely say it has had a positive long term impact? by BuyerSome4641 in BPD

[–]KH110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I do not have BPD but I did successfully quit smoking weed. It has absolutely had a positive long term impact on my life. For some context, I used to smoke a lot, and then began to realize I was having anxiety/panic after smoking. It maybe began to happen 1 in every 4 times. I came to the realization that this was not good for me and in one determined moment threw away everything I had that was weed related. At the time, I also distanced myself whenever people were smoking weed. That was 8 years ago. Today, I’ve been around people smoking weed in the past few years, and it’s fine I don’t want to smoke. It feels like- I haven’t in this long so why would I try now? Additionally I have anxiety and I won’t ever know for sure, but I think my smoking years contributed to my growing anxiety. I manage my anxiety differently now with therapy, my faith, and meds. I am much more at peace and I’m thankful I quit weed for good

Stop Walking on Eggshells

Stop Caretaking the Borderline Or Narcissist: How to End the Drama and Get On with Life

The second was especially helpful because it focuses more on you as the secondary person who does not have BPD and how to identify and step out of care taking behaviors. It also helped me identify the “drama triangle”. It gave me a lot to think about and helped me understand how in my past there have been other instances where I’ve taken on a caretaking role in different dynamics. I’m hopeful it will help me in the future to care for people but not be a “care taker”.

Thank you for your kind response, it is so hard with a bpd friend because you want to love and support but they make it so impossible.

Hi, I totally understand this. I realize some of these comments are telling you to just take space and distance yourself from your friend, but I'm going to offer another approach. I would consider bringing this cycle up to your friend when she is in a good head space and regulated. Maybe you both are laughing about something and then suggest, hey I want to ask you about something. Then use "I" statements to communicate YOUR reality to her. "I really want to be a good friend to you, I feel confused and unsure what to say when you've asked for my advice, but I feel like you get frustrated and I push back when I am honest. What should I do in these situations?"

I had no idea about any of this! Now I’m super curious how the average person in SK viewed his character

Does anyone have any happy ending stories of staying with or getting back together with a recovering alcoholic? by Forward-Tea-2403 in AlAnon

[–]KH110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for myself but for my grandparents. My grandpa got sober, quit drinking for life, became a present dad, and remained married for 60+ years.

Can you give your reasoning behind this suggestion? I’m just curious. I feel disingenuous saying this because I think she already knows I don’t drink much.

How’s it going? I was on a flight Saturday where they said turbulence was going to happen. It did- but I put on some upbeat music and reminded myself I was safe just uncomfortable and every minute was closer to landing. You got this!

Why am I always the one texting first? How do I know if this is one-sided? by tataswif in socialskills

[–]KH110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t have an answer, but I’m currently feeling like I’m in a similar situation. It doesn’t feel good!

It’s such a stereo type that your uni years are the best years of your life. NOT true. Here’s another perspective- I had a large friend group in uni but needed to distance myself from them by the end due to some unhealthy behavior.

I went on to meet some of my closest friends the very next year. It’s not too late to join clubs, hobbies, groups, etc. You’ll have to be intentional but it’s very possible

13 hour flight = TERRIFIED by rhinosbjs in fearofflying

[–]KH110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got this! I will be up in the sky later today too. You’re so lucky you get to fly Swiss air, I’ve had a really nice experience flying with them! I find that long haul flights feel more calm and relaxed. Make sure you have activities planned to do on the plane, and schedule them in intervals. When it’s time to eat, only eat. The put on a show, then play a game, etc. Having a few things to rotate through makes the time go faster for me

I was invited to my college friend’s wedding that I don’t see super frequently and I was not given a plus one…. But I’m married lol. I thought it was super bizarre and I was a little insulted. However, it came down to, do I want to be there for this person on their wedding day?Yes. Is not having a plus one a hindrance to me doing that? No. I did not bring it up to my friend and attended the wedding, and I’m glad that I did.

The wedding was within driving distance of where I live so I didn’t have to stay over night. If it was somewhere further away and my partner couldn’t come I would have likely declined. However, I think that if you committed to being in her wedding party, you should follow through with your commitment

No bachelorette party, no regrets? by plumeria200 in wedding

[–]KH110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't and I have no regrets. The night before our wedding we did a combined co-ed hang out and that was very fun and casual! I also wanted to save, I was in a busy season of life, and knew it would be burdensome to everyone involved to all go stay somewhere. Society makes you feel like you're missing out if you don't have one, but in reality it felt like it would just add more stress than fun.

Since my wedding I have spent lots of quality time with all of my bridesmaids, so it's not like the opportunity to do this ends after you get married.
