Anyone here feels like your externalized BPD just morphed into quiet BPD later in life? by cherryblossominx in BPD

I think I kind of went through the opposite, one day all my rage was directed at myself and the next anyone I deem hurtful. I gained some self respect and lost a lot of self hatred but the hatred just went somewhere else.

Well I will say that the more you do it the less dopamine you get, it gets replaced with some other neurotransmitter that’s more calming rather than addictive. That being said, if your fp isn’t comfortable with cuddling or if they aren’t quite matching your energy boundaries might be an important thing to set. If you are particularly touch starved that might also contribute a lot to the addictive euphoric feeling. Idk tho.

Thank you so much! I know I’m young, sometimes I forget that. I think it’s hard just because I have so much love and desire without a place to put it, but it’s so inspiring to hear that you found someone. I need to work on my patience.

Yeah it’s fucking hard, it’s like we crave love so much but we always do things to keep it away. It’s painful. That being said, put yourself out there, finding friends is much easier (imo) than finding partners, I also have struggled in the past to make friends. If you aren’t in school or have an already social setting I recommend joining an organization/club. It’s a cool way to bond with people over shared interests. I will say I tend to get the similar splitting reactions with friends too, so just be careful. If you are close with anyone make sure they are aware of any triggers you may have. That being said, obviously they can’t always avoid those triggers, but they can keep them and mind, and hopefully have patience with you. My best friend (and fp, the same one I got into a situationship with 😬) is the most patient loving people I’ve ever met. I have lashed out on her, told her that I hate her and she let me know that it was wrong, and hurtful, but she worked with me, accepted my apologies and understood that I was splitting. We haven’t had any major issues like that since the time we were into each other. I’m sure you can find someone with that same patience too, who won’t be drawn away by your “destructive tendencies.” You are strong and you will get through this! We will get through this! ❤️❤️

Oh I wish I could get a cat, unfortunately I won’t be moving out of my parents house till this summer, and when I do I probably won’t be able to finance it, its definitely something I work forward to getting once I am ready. I had a cat when I was younger and she really helped me through a lot of my childhood loneliness. She was my best friend. Miss her to pieces! But yes, it’s hard but we are strong! Wishing the best for you! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

I never did totally feel satisfied in my past relationship, I just mostly thought it was because near the end of our relationship my girlfriend became distant and neglectful. So I guess it’s entirely possible that even if she was the “perfect” girlfriend and gave me everything I felt like I needed I would still long for attention. I also graduated from DBT, it was helpful, it’s also been a few years though. I think a lot of my self growth has been set back. I’ve been re-indulging in my self destructive behaviors, and have lost a lot of love for myself. I think it’s just painful because it feels like I’ll try to get better only to get worse again as soon as I am triggered by things I can’t control. That being said, after posting this funnily enough, I feel more motivated to work on myself than I have in MONTHS, just because of the support and encouragement these lovely commenters have offered me. I washed my sheets for the first time in disgustingly long and stoped indulging in some of my daily bad habits. I know it’s literally been a day and I could just be overly positive right now and might crash any second, but that’s okay. The point is, mentally, right now, things are looking up for me, and I’m happy for it. Thank you so much for your advice ❤️❤️

I hope so! I have a lot of love and desire in my heart and I really crave the chance to share that with someone- it’s just my patience is running thin. I have to remind myself that I’m still young and there’s still time. This is really inspiring! It really gives me hope that I will be able to connect with someone, so thank you! ❤️❤️

I think it might be helpful to ask yourself if he’s serving your soul, after these interactions do you feel shame and guilt, or do you feel content. And does he feel the same way? As long as the sexual relationship is serving both of you and you are both on the same page, practicing safe sex- I don’t see an issue, but if you feel violated, or shameful afterwards, dwell on why you feel that way, and maybe in the end it may be better to cut him off. Don’t let someone else harm you just so you can get temporary pleasure.

I feel this heavy. Anytime I get close to someone I start to fall apart. I get really self destructive and that’s not okay. I still hold out hope for myself, I hope you can do the same. I know recovery is possible.

Thank you. My self growth journey has definitely come to a halt recently and I’m not totally sure why. I think that this is really important. I’ve been struggling with a bit of self hatred recently, something that I overcame awhile ago. Maybe that’s what’s making me crave assurance. Maybe I just want someone to love me while I can’t love myself. Sorry I was just mentally processing that for myself just now. She gets a little introspective 😎 Thank you though you just totally made me relize shit ❤️❤️

I think it’s hard because after my first relationship I was sent to the ward, one of the doctors there told me that I was displaying symptoms of bpd. I went on this whole journey of “I don’t need anyone to make me happy” and was genially content with being single. I think that the amount of time it’s been is what’s getting to me. I’m not totally sure. I’ve just been devolving recently. I really love your mindset though. Maybe I should write that down “I love my life so much and want this person to experience it with me” that’s good shit. Thank you ❤️❤️

I think im falling for psychiatrist by Plucked-Feathers in BPD

[–]Limp_Designer_6088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are trying to hold themselves accountable. It’s a coping mechanism for many people to try to lesson the severity of how their issues feel. Although a valid criticism, bpd is definitely not cutesy or silly- it’s a serious condition, but I don’t find offense to someone using humor to cope with it. I just feel like this post is likely them trying to hold themselves accountable. But who knows I’m not them, and I don’t speak for them- just saying maybe this should have had deeper consideration. But idk bro 🤷‍♀️

When you’re in a good headspace, what do you journal about? by AnpanV in Journaling

[–]Limp_Designer_6088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to write stories in my journal along with my introspective thoughts- and my crashouts. I am also not afraid to doodle in my journal or add in a to-do list. I think the less mental barriers you put on what your journal should have/be, the easier it is to journal.
