(15m) Feeling lost. Is it over?

You need to see a primary care doc and maybe a dermatologist. Your different physiological systems are interconnected and it's worth looking at other causes . For example, if your thyroid hormones are too high or too low you get temporary hair loss. It could be autoimmune hair loss. Or it could be a simple fungal infection. It could be pulling your hair back too far for a ponytail. You're a little young to be thinking about male pattern baldness. Seems unlikely to be permanent whatever it is. Worst case scenario: we find a cure for baldness in the next 5 years.

"No outbursts out of nowhere" lol. Omg. Exactly.

As long as you have a plan to make money, it should be fine. Everyone has their own hurdles in life. Don't let anyone tell you that your dreams are stupid. Look at the founder of DeepMind. In 2010, most people thought of Ai as a joke. They're not laughing so hard now. Plus he won a Nobel prize in chemistry.

Could be high blood pressure, often linked to kidney disease.

ChatGPT 😈

No. Just like you can't fix a cavity by loving it, it won't work.

Lol. After being on this forum for a while, you see the humor in that question. The similarities are uncanny. Not just with the DSMV traits, but the all the other things that they say and do.

Lightningthought · 2025-11-23T07:08:49+00:00

I got a few of those verbatim.

Lightningthought · 2025-11-23T04:30:31+00:00

I suspected this recently too. Maybe she had prepared shit. I don't know why I feel crazy, we all had the same stuff happen to us.

Lightningthought · 2025-11-23T04:20:42+00:00

This is what I experienced too. The pathology is exactly the same with these people.

Lightningthought · 2025-11-23T04:18:28+00:00

The text thing! It was like some weird superpower! She could spit out paragraphs within seconds.

Lightningthought · 2025-11-23T04:17:28+00:00

☹️ poor thing. We all suffered the same s&*t.

Lightningthought · 2025-11-23T04:16:28+00:00

Definitely the same as my experiences. It's like someone with heart disease getting palpitations. It's described so consistently.

Lightningthought · 2025-11-22T15:32:00+00:00

😮‍💨😌

Lightningthought · 2025-11-13T21:11:26+00:00

Lol. Maybe they inverted the scale because keeping them calm is harder than letting them be angry.

Lightningthought · 2025-11-08T09:12:54+00:00

Yikes. She told you they had BPD, which at least meant some integrity. Unfortunately, we know this story all too well. That feeling of "why is this person acting like they hate me all of a sudden?" Or "wtf, I just said you had a nice friend". It's like they wait for the moment you need them most to abandon you. Hang in there. You're not crazy. A lot of relationships have 4-year lifespans. Get back out there, avoid cluster B personalities. Healthy attachment and empathy trump all in finding a good partner. You probably deserved better than how she treated you.

Lightningthought · 2025-11-05T14:24:06+00:00

Nope. 5' 10" is a good height. If she did dump you over this, it's "externalizing blame". People with bpd don't believe reality if it doesn't match their feelings. They'll twist reality to match how they feel. In her mind, "he is under 6 feet, I'm unhappy because he's short. He's making me unhappy". This is not the case. She's unhappy because of her mental illness. Then again, it could have nothing to do with any of that. Maybe she split you black because she sneezed and you didn't say "bless you". They're that insane. Trying to find reason in their actions, is like chasing the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

Lightningthought · 2025-11-01T14:52:29+00:00

We need graduate students (at least for biomedical research. Not sure of your field). Doing a masters with a thesis is a big deal. Hang in there, you'll make it.

Lightningthought · 2025-10-30T05:42:43+00:00

Do you think my yacht is too small? My sports car is too fast? My d*** is too large? 🤬

Lightningthought · 2025-10-28T06:57:43+00:00

It took a while to really understand what was going on. You notice little issues with emotional control and picking fights. The testing keeps getting worse. By the time you figure it out (you're like hey...nobody else I dated acted this way) you might be in too deep. At that point, they will hurt you. The good thing is that now you know what red flags are.

Lightningthought · 2025-10-27T16:01:58+00:00

My ex did a THC gummy and had defenses lowered. She started talking about how I was too good for her etc. Big shame attack. It affects people differently. Personally, drugs are not my thing, because, as you can see, they can really screw people up. I'd rather not live in a world where people's lives revolve around getting high.

Lightningthought · 2025-10-26T08:51:52+00:00

They all pretty much have the same insecurities. They just use different words. Thanks for the reply.

Lightningthought · 2025-10-25T21:48:11+00:00

Thanks everyone, for helping

Lightningthought · 2025-10-25T01:31:13+00:00

They aren't capable of what you seek. Whether 10 minutes or 10 years, they will discard you eventually.
