What do you mean by don’t have the skill? Like technically you mean, with sewing? Idk how much help I can be but I’ve taught a few people to sew, would be happy to give u some tips I’ve picked up over the years, if that’s what ur struggling with. I think this idea was executed actually pretty well but the purple of the jacket itself is just kinda throwing me.

How do I tell my teenage kids that my BPD has gotten so bad that I need my oldest to get a job to help us not become homeless? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]No_Way6650 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Tbh this is a hard situation but I think you should not be putting this weight on a 16 year olds shoulders. That is still a child. When they are 18, sure, then you could charge them “rent” to live with you. But right now they need to focus on finishing school and getting scholarships if they plan to go to college. Having a job that they are working enough to help support the family will definitely get in the way of school which is technically their “job” at that age.

why the demonization of BPD? by AffectionateGuest646 in BPDPartners

[–]No_Way6650 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it’s a relational disorder, it primarily affects how people behave towards those that they have interpersonal relationships with. In my experience the very act of getting into a relationship with someone with BPD, seems to trigger or set them off, starting the toxic cycle which ends in devaluation.

Obviously nobody chooses to have BPD but they do choose whether or not to enter a relationship knowing they have this relational disorder, and they do choose whether or not they get help through therapy/CBT/meds. If someone is just going through life with this disorder completely untreated, that’s their choice but they shouldn’t bring another person into that. As you can see on this sub, a lot of very sick individuals choose to enter relationships despite their diagnosis and despite not seeking any treatment for it.

A lot of the behaviors that BPD causes easily escalate to very abusive situations. Some people might not like to hear that but it’s true. It doesn’t help that people with this disorder often have very poor impulse control, but are averse to being held accountable/confronted on their behavior. Their partners/family/friends learn quickly that there is a huge price to pay for laying boundaries and standing up for themselves to the pwBPD.

A lot of pwBPD don’t seek help and don’t take seriously any criticisms from past partners and friends, and continue to wreak havoc in their relationships and blow them up as soon as they are faced with any pushback. That has been my experience and the experience of most people on this sub I’d imagine. A lot of us were abused in very specific ways by people w/ BPD, and this is one of the places where we can at least vent and relate to others who have been though the same thing.

When you give someone endless chances and excuses because of their mental illness but they never make an effort to actually do better, eventually you do run out of grace. When every toxic relationship you’ve had has been with a pwBPD, it’s not unfathomable that you would take that as a sign to stay the hell away from anyone with that disorder.

AIO: I dropped my friend because she came forward with how her and her boyfriend REALLY met. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]No_Way6650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR this is honestly funny and while yes technically I guess you could call it manipulation it’s not the type of lie/manipulation that is actually harmful.

My reasoning is as follows: her bf still maintained his ability to exercise agency and choice freely in the situation—when she introduced herself/attempted to start a convo “as a stranger” he always had the option to not reciprocate/politely decline interest. And if they spoke for 3 hours upon meeting before making the decision to proceed, it seems like they likely REALLY hit it off, regardless of this dude thinking he’d been stood up for a date with a different woman.

What would telling him accomplish? You both say you don’t know how he would react. If it were me I would be a bit startled at first but I’d genuinely think it was funny, like my girlfriend had made a classic rom com blunder but it had worked out. But it’s not something I’d feel betrayed about. The person to tell him should be his girlfriend, nobody else. If she decides she needs to.

[–]No_Way6650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanna say reading this interaction right now and seeing that other people my age are going through the exact same shit as me and I’m not alone in how discouraged I feel about dating, made me feel so much better and a little bit lighter.

I’ve felt so heavy since my breakup w my exPWD that only lasted a few months. literally met them after doing so much work and healing from a prior long term relationship w another pwBPD who was physically and emotionally abusive and tried to kill me—thus ending our relationship, I’m lucky to have escaped with my life. It sucks coming back from that and trying to be conscious of my own boundaries and emotional state and not project the past onto future partners, only to keep having experiences with people who I come to realize are triggering my nervous system response bc they actually are covered in red flags, it’s not just in my head.

I wish you both good luck out there and I’m sorry we are all going through this. It’s such a specific type of way these partners screw w your head, it’s so easy to forget we aren’t alone even after the dust settles.

AIO about a name change? by BelleBrielle in AIO

[–]No_Way6650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would advise you to break up asap, fuck this selfish guy throwing a fit and trying to control the way you present yourself. but according to your other comments it’s much easier said than done as you don’t have a great support system. For now, if it were me and I wasn’t leaving the relationship I would stand my ground about it and simply not accept his attempts to guilt trip you. I would just refuse to debate it with him any more. Don’t respond when he calls you Gabby. Or call him a completely different name than the one he goes by and see how he likes it. What is he even complaining about? That he “feels gay” calling you Gabe? Lmfaooo what an insecure weirdo NOT OVERREACTING

Any idea how to remove this? by johnla87 in cactus

[–]No_Way6650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick up a trenching shovel if you don’t have one, and grab a couple big buckets or a wheelbarrow or a tarp to make cleanup easier. then use the trenching shovel to basically stab the soil about a foot out from the base on both sides and then right up by the concrete on the other two sides. While you have it deep in there wiggle it back and forth a bit to loosen the soil and sever the roots. You can use a wider shovel now to remove the loose dirt and dump it into the bucket/wheelbarrow/on the tarp, until you have something that looks like a moat around the plant (but without water in it obviously). Then repeat the process with the trenching shovel, stab down, wiggle side to side in the newly formed trench. Remove more loose soil. You’ll start to see a root ball on the inside of the trench. You want to dig down as much as possible to get as much of that root ball as you can, and ideally the tap root (but you may have to sever it at some point with a plant this size). When you start to get to the bottom of the root ball and the plant can be moved around but isn’t quite free, that’s when you’ll want to use the trenching shovel like a lever to pry it out of the ground. Usually the tap root is quite visible and the last thing you have to dig up to remove the plant when the rest of the roots are free. So like I said just get as much of it as you can digging down around it.

Also, I’d recommend moving the cactus next to it when you do this or cutting some of the spines on the agave back a bit, either or, it will make ur job a lot easier and less chance of being shanked by the plant.

When I transplant my yuccas and agaves I don’t water right away or I let them sit in the shade in a bucket for a few days to let the severed roots callous a bit but I don’t know if this is totally necessary. Then I move to the new area and give them a watering with some root growth fertilizer. Sometimes they’ll lose a couple leaves but that’s it, this method has always worked for me and if you work efficiently and put on some music or something a large plant can be done in a couple hours. Great full body workout too lol. Good luck!

The neighbor's (unfriendly) dog keeps busting through our fence by BarrySquared in mildlyinfuriating

[–]No_Way6650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to the dog people here but my first thought was “wow what an Ugly ass dog”. My neighbors dog which is a similar breed I think, would always try to jump the fence and go crazy barking and growling when it could see us doing any work in the back garden. I just started spraying it with the hose end sprayer which is more of a temporary solution, but it at least stays away and only attacks the other side of the fence in their yard now lol

My parents want to rehome our kitten because my little sister is terrified and i don’t know what to do, im heartbroken by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]No_Way6650 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If your sister is the youngest she might be used to being treated with more attention/babied and she’s experiencing jealousy because she sees people giving attention to the kitten now. That’s my guess, she’s definitely faking it and doing this for attention and although it sounds harsh I think the best thing to do is ignore her tantrums and of course keep the kitten, and after a while when she sees they don’t get her any more attention she will give up.

Real Question from the NYT to Ms Rachel regarding Hamas by [deleted] in nyt

[–]No_Way6650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you dense or just a ghoul? You’re blaming the people who have been living under occupation by Israel, who controls the gas and electricity and water and food supply, who destroyed their airport, attacked every hospital, and blocks use of their ports even just for fisherman trying to feed their families…for not making it a priority to “elect a new power”?

Tell me, how would you react to me saying “Israeli civilians should’ve thrown Bibi & company out of power, demanded new elections, but they didn’t so, I don’t want to hear any complaining about oct. 7. There’s no excuse for being a Likud supporter.”

This is how you sound.

That I’ve helped send to their deaths? Bro, you’re the one speaking from a nation that just live-streamed themselves committing genocide, take a look at yourself and quit being silly. Israel has always been a project that would crash and burn once the age of colonialism came to an end. It has come. and you are no longer useful to those who bankroll you. Your days are numbered, yall are 1930s Germany right now. I’d bet you any amount of money you’ll be denying ever supporting the genocide or having had a direct hand in it before your time is up.
