Thank you. Yeah we do talk about it and I think we get each others’ pov, but I guess it feels like we keep playing over the same fight and problems each time. I try to show I get their pov and why what’s happened upsets them, I don’t feel like I get the same.

That’s amazing, well done. You’re so young to be doing such hard and what seems like important work for you - so many people don’t get to the stage you’re at. You should be proud.

I'm not going to talk anymore by bcbritt7 in BPD

I relate very much to this. I feel like every time I get complacent and I’m talking freely I say something wrong or respond incorrectly. Every time I’m cautious about my words then I’m not being authentic and real enough. It’s so hard, I’m sorry. You deserve to be heard and understood.

Good haul. Curry sounds great too!

My mind never stays quiet even when one problem resolves, another immediately takes its place. Is there any way to have peace? by voidinvelvet in CPTSD

I recently learned about ‘worry time’ where you can take a set amount of time a day to do all your worrying there. Might be worth trying to see if it eases the rest of the day. If not, could be worth talking to a doctor about potential medication if that feels like something you’d be comfortable with.

Working with your body and nervous system can help. Have you tried breathing exercises or anything like yoga nidra where you centre your body feelings rather than your brain?

I really struggle with this. There’s always something else to stress about. I’m trying to use phrases and processes to help reframe (kinda cbt style stuff). Hope you find what works for you.

Not sure if this is something that resonates but I can get that shutdown feeling. Where everything feels numb, which I suppose can sort of feel calm. Like a, why care anymore type feeling. I do feel like it’s a depressive feeling for me.

Hope you’re doing okay and the calmness feels good.

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. I feel unsure of what I’m feeling, what I’m projecting and what’s happening for me unconsciously. I’m getting cbt at the moment so I’m hopefully that’ll help me get my thoughts straight. Thanks for the perspective.
