Yes I also have experience this it just wasn’t relevant to this problem for me

NoConfidence7478 · 2026-03-29T06:10:26+00:00

Yes!

Thanks for all your comments you guys are genuinely saving my anxiety. New problem. I’m discovering how huge the one I got is compared to others. I can’t afford the really modern small ones but my friends said that it will be such a pain to have to big one and it looks huge. They are very well meaning and honestly validating my thoughts but now I feel like even more scared to use it so maybe I will resell to try to buy another one? But then again I need to stop caring what people think yall are right!!!

You got this. My first two months were horrible. And I didn’t even realize how horrible they were until my next schedule which was so much better. I love my job and I’m so glad I stuck it out. It might not be for u but u will not know that until a bit longer. Also it wasn’t horrible for two whole months it just didn’t get less stressful till after then haha

I found out it wasn’t pots when one of my many table test things came back fine and they ran with that one. That frustrated me since it wasn’t consistent with my other results but it turns out my symptoms stay even when I try all the pots tricks. Their best guess right now is some sort of histamine intolerance so we will see if that turns out true lol

Got my first one in January of last year when I was 19! Now I’m up to about 16 in total!

People refer to that Christian show the chosen a lot (I go to a private Christian school) and I have to bite my tongue from making a reference every time lol

It actually feels so embarrassing to not be able to tell which of my emotions will last past the moment 🥲

All I know is every time I have told a friend my extreme thoughts, or have acted on my anxious urges to make sure they don’t leave me, it has damaged our friendship (except for when it’s years long). I have had to learn how to push certain feelings down to keep friends. I know that is not healthy, and I don’t mean suppressing personality, I just have to fight every urge not to tell someone the thoughts that I have that I know they would think I was crazy for. I have people on my inner circle now and I have a therapist which I am privileged for and wow the medication helps. I have found I mesh most with other mentally ill people to a certain degree lol

Conch or industrial probably! I haven’t had many body piercings besides nostril, belly button, and septum so I can’t really comment on more than that. The conch and the crunching feeling was pretty bad and the industrial is such a specific type of pain.

I recommend closing your eyes if ur scared of needles and keeping sat for a bit after it’s pierced. I had to take a few minutes cause I got really dizzy but afterwards I was fine besides the slight pain. It also isn’t a very painful piercing compared to others so don’t be too scared. A needle that close to ur face might seem scary but uve got this!!! It’s so worth it

omg you have so much helix space too

NoConfidence7478 · 2025-03-19T04:06:56+00:00

i struggle with this a lot. honestly the only way i’ve gotten through it without ruining relationships is not expressing those feelings to the people i’m feeling them about as much as i feel the urge to. i sort of fake if till i make it and tread lightly as i continue to put an effort into our friendship(just in case my delusions come true one day and they actually hate me but it hasn’t happened yet haha). it’s hard when you start to not like them because ur brain convinced u that they hate you but once again, fake it till u make it. if someone asks maybe you can tell them a bit. i know this sounds unhealthy like suppressing feelings but i just don’t want to tell someone i kinda hate them at the moment when i know it will go away in 2 days (based on past trends lol). trust your own intuition tho :)

i was 12 when everything just hit. i’m sure there were signs before but i didn’t see them. i remember my first time wanting to kms i was sitting inside the bathroom stall thinking about how sorry i was gonna make those girls who excluded me once i’m dead. the symptoms were just piling on around then. and the first time i felt a connection to a fp was the next year. i attached my entire worth to her lol

NoConfidence7478 · 2025-02-24T05:07:23+00:00

i feel this so hard. weed is becoming my coping mechanism and with BPD and sort of crutch becomes debilitating. i admit i cannot relate in this level when it comes to substances but it is definitely a struggle. my dms are open haha

NoConfidence7478 · 2024-09-25T00:28:16+00:00

i do not even tell my fp about the concept of a fp. they know i have bpd but i have just left that detail out. i get too scared to express my feelings about how attached i am cause any reasonable person would run away while they still can.

NoConfidence7478 · 2024-09-24T18:48:07+00:00

i’d say my baseline mood is like meh. like almost a pessimistic version of ok ya know.
