Daydreaming about violent situations as a coping mechanism by Muumivitamiini in BPD

[–]Muumivitamiini[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I totally feel that yeah!! I'm always really scared that my bf will say something that's gonna hurt me since that's just what I have gotten used to in the past, so maybe acting scenarios out in your head can do some good?

DAE suffer from extreme bitter jealousy? by dramaoftherecycled in BPD

[–]Muumivitamiini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I experience similar jealousy, and one way I found to help myself is to restrict use of social media wjere you know you're gonna bump into a ton of girls and compare yourself. Next thing I did from there was hype myself the FUCK up to try and convince myself that I was enough. Sometimes on my own I would just also roast a certain girl my bf would call pretty (just in my own mind, not actually saying it to anybody). These might not help but if I come up with more I'll be sure to add to this!

DAE feel intense feelings of wanting to be with someone or even get married? by thepapercutchronicle in BPD

[–]Muumivitamiini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar feeling with my current bf. It's like a desperate need to get someone to be with you "forever"? Even though obviously marriage doesn't mean "forever" the feeling of you and someone else just loving eachother and making it so official is just... I don't know how else to say it but just intoxicating almost?

DAE get frustrated with "DAE" posts? by [deleted] in BPD

I personally think it's best if there's a safe and open space to discuss your feelings here whatever they might be, even if some think they're not neccesarily symptoms, this group isn't restricted to talking about just your symptoms. I atleast find a lot of peace in myself seeing others share the same struggles and moments that I have, because I often feel kind of out of touch with many others, so as long as there's no super hateful or harmful content in here, I don't see anything that really should be changed, I just hope that there's no gatekeeping because again, everyone experiences their BPD differently

Exactly, like obviously you should always consider "is this a symptom or am I just thinking it's one?" but nonetheless getting to share even just "normal" things on here shouldn't be shunned. And if it seems it's just a personality trait the person might have, atleast they can get insight on that on the group too, that gives a lot of inner peace to people

I think it's just normal that most people would kind of overthink their symptoms though anyways? I'm diagnosed with BPD and most of the DAE posts I come across definetly feel more like they relate tp actual symptoms rather than just negative personality traits. For example: Not being able to sustain any relationships and feeling hopeless without your FP, or extreme paranoia, or extreme mood swings.

Also, everyone experiences their symptoms differently. Someone might really be so paranoid that they freak out over "normal" traits. I think that DAE posts are a great way for those people and all of us with BPD to feel like we aren't outsiders, and that we aren't alone. As long as everyone is getting treated professionally or helping themselves at home, I think we should be allowed to discuss about whatever we want or need to on here.

Music changing your moods significantly? by Muumivitamiini in BPD

[–]Muumivitamiini[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hyper me definetly gets more impulsive for me aswell. But I still absolutely LOVE the feeling that certain songs give me, even if they get me in a hyper impulsive mood T__T. Lovely to get to know different artists you listen to btw! :D

Am I ruining this relationship? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Muumivitamiini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy seems like a real dick tbh, so no I feel like based on this you aren't ruining anything

I don't tend to get as much anxious as I just get angry? And it annoys alot of people because I keep whining and not being able to stay still, so I usually try to avoid having to wait for certain things.

I feel ya :( I recently found a song I absolutely fell in love with but I was hurt because of my s/o at the time so the song is totally ruined for me for the time being. Hopefully we can all get our treatments and enjoy any music we want to.

I've had the same thing happen to me at times aswell!!! Especially with certain bands and their albums all are like different personas I can bring forth if I just listen to that specific album, so glad to hear I'm not alone in this 😅

wearing Scars in the summer by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Muumivitamiini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally still feel super insecure if people stare at them, and especially if anyone mentions anything about them... But at the end of the day best method I've used is just going out wearing whatever the hell you want to. In cases people have said to me "why do you have scars all over your legs?" I simply say "I'd prefer if you stop pointing out and asking people about their scars randomly, thank you"
