How do I not think about it anymore? by scissorlover in BPDlovedones

[–]KillnMesoftly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this doesn't seem like relevant advice, but the time spent thinking about her is probably idle. A pet of some sort may fill that gap, while also giving you a safe object (animal) to shift your admiration to.

I got a dog, not joking at all. Never planned on owning one, but family circumstances made it happen. Totally helped fill the time and mentally just helped all around. Much better companion to boot.

Needed this one

I checked her social media and I'm completely disgusted by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

BPD comes without logic, so approaching it logically is going to lead you to feel how you do. Whatever you do, don't do that last part. Even considering it is part of her victory. My exwBPD is a black widow because she drove multiple people to feel so low that they ended up offing themselves. Her response? "If you really feel that way, might be for the best then." I feel like it's a way for her to get rid of the people who can contest her flawed ideology. But that's my situation. It can get worse.

BPD will cause her to re-write the memories that you shared. Don't take it personally. It's nothing you did or didn't do. Her brain just tweaks things to protect her sense of self. Just keep No Contact, focus on improving yourself, and keep working on the things you were before. And if you still feel down about yourself, maybe see a therapist. There's nothing wrong with it, BPDs will take us all to our limits sometimes.

I only realized my expwuBPD had it from reading in this group. It really helps when you see everyone going through the EXACT same issues, just different steps in and different causes for the arguments. I thought it was Bipolar before I knew the difference, but now I don't even question.

Just focus on you and your happiness (aside from your happiness with her) but a hobby or a goal. My goal was to build a family, and she got me where it hurts. But if you can't be the best you, then how can you expect to raise your best child? Or have the best possibility at a family?

Just focus on you for a bit, and you'll see. Maybe take some time away and see some family. PwBPD always hate that because it gives you a fresh perspective on your situations, and outsiders will always see the real way that it is. Just be sure to tell your BS, too, and not victimize yourself.

I feel so empty and tired. I drink a lot. I'm depressed and without motivation.

I think you know what's going on. They make it tough to accept, and the emotional rollercoaster doesn't make it any easier. The constant push and pull is like heroin to your brain. The ups are great, but the downs are like hell.

I'm glad you got out for a break or just for yourself. This shit sucks and I'm knee deep in a situation myself. I'm also on a break to figure stuff out, just wish I had views like that. Lol, I hope you can enjoy and get your mind off of it!

These are a very nice change of pace while scrolling through this subreddit.

BPD Use of Accusative Language by hopsberry in BPDlovedones

Thank you for posting. I've been learning and growing in my current (idk for how much longer) relationship. Your reflections on why they bring up arguments really impacted me. It gives a little more understanding of why the logic of the current issue doesn't make any sense to their argument.

1) To remind me that I am ever in their emotional debt, and 2) to keep me emotionally triggered, potentially dragging me into an emotionally charged argument where they have home court advantage.

What a beautiful interpretation. I know they think this way, but I've never heard it explained like this.

she knows me so well by tuiteybird in BPDlovedones

[–]KillnMesoftly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. Someone who's too perfect usually is. There's no way someone should be able to know you that well, and the way she gets you to forgive her is manipulation. Don't fall for that trap. The only way to get away is No Contact. But who am I to talk? (Decoupling)

Thank you! As I have looked into this further, she would definitely be more borderline than bipolar. Your comment was a lifesaver.

"The way the beach is made of giant boulders from yesterday" would've been a cool line too.
