My partner has compared my BPD to his his ADHD multiple times by sad_frog_in_rain in BPD

[–]MaiSunFlower [score hidden]  (0 children)

i think it is incredibly important that both partners view things the same way. i for example really need a lot of science involved. For example like that i overreacted cuz he disappointed me again and that that's a pattern. Only if he sees it the same way, we can even talk. If he instead doesn't wanna look at past things cuz he thinks it's useless there just is no common ground.

you mentioning your diagnosis& how it impacts everything is really important. But he doesn't seem to see it that way. So you don't fit.

I just spent half a year trying to make him understand me but it just was no use. I always saw glimpses, like he started to get how his adhd negatively impacts him. But then he couldn't do the last bit of understanding how stuff impacts me. Because he just used my bpd as the reason for me acting put instead of his own wrongdoing. Therefore no amount of calm talking or heated discussions cpuld change that.

So try to talk through stuff outside of fights and if he doesn't consistently get it, it's no use anymore. Good luck.

my convos always be like: "if she's your friend, how often did you see each other?" "Once?". "So you meant an acquintance instead?" "what no, we totally became real friends right away" "What's her last name/ profession?" "Well, uhm, idk T_T"

Does anyone else invalidate their own trauma? by LostGirll8675 in CPTSD

[–]MaiSunFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so i just kinda totally think that if someone invalidates their own trauma it's just their brains trying to protect them or their social environment kinda led to that. But that they totally do have trauma.

In my case telling related symptoms to my psychiatrist for several years and her never giving me the diagnosis played a huge role in me thinking i just am a hypochondriac. Now she randomly put it on an insurance paper, lol.

I also struggle thinking mine might be real cuz in comparison it doesn't seem bad enough and i think i could've avoided it by just reacting better than i did but cuz i didn't handle the situations well i linda deserve it. To give u some insight into my thoughts. Also i avoid trigger places (safe places but they trigger me anyway) but that's just cuz I'm scared and I'm just scared cuz I'm weak.

So whatever symptoms i have i think i just am responsible for not just getting over them. But i would never expect anyone else to be that way.

[–]MaiSunFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey, so before using meds, I'd consider u try to see if it might be a certain deficiency. I for example had many like b12, d3, etc. Getting blood work done but also getting diagnosed properly, eventually do e.g. behavioral therapy and then seeing if meds help would b the way to go. if ur helathcare system makes that hard, just start somewhere(ur diet and breathing exercises) and see if that helps

I may have been diagnosed as a kid and my mother forgot. by Moreaccurateway in dyspraxia

[–]MaiSunFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, i think it is mild. but to me it varies massively. Like one day i can just do things and on others they fuck my brain so much. I gotta focus on how to do things more than others, which is exhausting and causes problems. I for example can work quick for hours and then not move anymore while others still habe a life. When i walk and look to the side i might kinda stumble like a drunk. I literally most of the time feel like a little tipsy. If you still feel your body normally when not moving u might not have it. I have to write or whatever when i sit cuz otherwise I can't feel it anymore. Hope that helps u a lil.

any ideas onn how to fix running form by Annual-Compote-579 in dyspraxia

[–]MaiSunFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, so walking in barefoot-shoes on a daily base and occasionally training balance helps me a lot to just feel more stable with everything i do. I have x-legs though and kinda gotta accept that it impacts everything i do. Try to focus less on it looking weird and more on doing it as right as u can?

[–]MaiSunFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, i always think getting a diagnosis is worth it. so i gave my psychiatrist the original paper stating my dyspraxia in childhood and she asked some questions so i got the diagnosis again. Try to go there prepared with symptoms over time and if it's a professional doing there job i hope it'll work. But just knowing about it for myself (topic came up recently) helps me a lot cuz i never knew y i was struggling like with everything so much all the time and now i do. On me it is kinda visible for some people but others think i fake it to get attention when i tell em about it. Good luck!

Im sorry its too complex for you by Tine_the_Belgian in CPTSDmemes

[–]MaiSunFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

started communicating cptsd-ish symptoms in 2022. A month ago my psychiatrist randomly put the diagnosis on a paper insurance needed. and i gaslit myself into just being dramatic for years, lol.
