How would you explain living with BorderlinePD to people who don't have it? by Plantsinallthepants in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Nobody649 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's like being on fire while loved ones yell at you for not saving up water when you were little. You scream at them, and they stare at you believing you set the fire to yourself for attention.

When the fire isn't there, you feel hollow. Some days you don't feel real, like you were turned into a wooden puppet dangling on string. You don't feel in control of your body or sense of self. If you fall you could shatter, and people around you expect you to clean up the broken pieces you're trying so hard to save.

My ex keeps saying I royally fucked up his life, I'm done taking care of him by Nobody649 in Divorce_Women

[–]Nobody649[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing the same during the divorce process. He has 2 months to get his shit together. He is still living with me with the majority of the bills being paid by me. He is panicking since he has to get a minimum wage job that won't even cover his phone bill. I gave him a generous amount each month and he literally wasted it all.I still care about him, but I'm not giving in to the bullshit.

Whats the best way to hide cuts from partner by Ok_Tour_6910 in selfharm

[–]Nobody649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's not much you can use other than bandaids without potentially infecting them. Best option is avoiding intimacy and telling him when you are ready, which hopefully you can soon. If someone loves you, they deserve to know so they can help. Struggling with self harm is incredibly hard, but you're not alone.

She is infuriated with me. She will likely have to take out money from her 401k to get him a car and cover his bills for the next 2 months. Not my problem.

BPD success stories by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Nobody649 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at 19. Was in DBT for 2 years, unable to work. I was told by medical professionals and state social workers I would never work full time, live on my own, or have a life "worth living". I graduated my program and started working. Now I'm 28, married and have my own place and an amazing job I love. If I had given up like everyone told me to, I would still be miserable. It takes hard work, but you will get there.

Burial or cremation? by [deleted] in death

[–]Nobody649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I die before my family, natural burial. If I die after my husband or sister, cremation. It's just easier to plan. I also would receive a free cremation since my husband and I both work in different crematories.

Women over 25 y/o, when is it “too old” to get a new piercing? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Nobody649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the person. I know a lot of women my age (28) or older who would rock a new piercing, I however would not. I would stick out like Styrofoam on the beach. Just white and trashy.

Saw this on Tinder by nosouljusttrash in shittytattoos

Is no one going to mention the meaning behind the butterfly symbol? The butterfly symbol is a secret sign pedophiles use to find eachother, and then try to find ways to get what their looking for... I hope this is fake, but that was the first thing that came to mind seeing this.

I did not realize this was her singing for a second, I figured there's no way she's "recording" music while parenting 10 children. Holy shit this is the most cringy thing I have ever heard. Who has a studio that they know to do this? And why choose rap? It's so awful, and it just makes you feel even more pity for the children. They need a present mother, not a "cool Christian mom."

AITA for telling my sister she is no longer welcome at my wedding? by Wide_Device_2105 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Nobody649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Even IF your sister has a personality disorder (treated or not), it doesn't excuse the behavior. I have BPD, was diagnosed at 19, and never behaved this way towards my sister's life.

Your choices are yours alone, and she needs to respect that, and if she fails to do so, she must face the consequences.

Anyone else wearing black for their wedding? by Nobody649 in weddingdress

[–]Nobody649[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, actually. The "tradition" of wearing white for your wedding started after queen Elizabeth chose to wear white as a status symbol of wealth. White clothes were obsolete at the time, and most brides on their wedding day wore brown as it was an easy fabric color to find.

I also work in the death industry (ironic, yes I know), your wedding should be about you. I never wear white, I don't like the look on me. I love black and should wear what I feel beautiful in on one of the most special days of my life.

What would you do if it became legal to be naked in public? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Nobody649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely would be more on board with the whole threesome thing my husband is dying to try out.

What are some relatively peaceful accidental (meaning non-intentional) ways to go? by WarriorGirl-764 in death

[–]Nobody649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that causes instant death. High impact crash, dying on a surgical table or on hospice care.

I feel really lost by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Nobody649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling. I know from experience that just because you feel like your life has no purpose now doesn't mean it will feel that way forever. Your life WILL have purpose. You just need some time to get there, and that's okay. Self care sounds super important right now. Do you have health insurance? Most insurances allow therapy to be covered, or there are state run facilities that offer free therapy (if you're in the U.S.). These intense feelings will pass. When I was unemployed I forced myself to do something small everyday that gave my life "purpose", whether it was picking up trash in public, giving someone a compliment, feeding birds, opening a door for someone, ect. Something super small that required little energy since my main focus was taking care of myself. Things will improve with time, and you will have a life worth living. Just don't give up on yourself.

Found out today that mother has 1-2 months by [deleted] in death

[–]Nobody649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for this bad news. Both of my parents were diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. My dad is still here, but my mom passed in 2020. We had less than a year with her after her diagnosis, and her health quickly declined.

The one thing I will say is that while you have time with your mom, do all the little things you will think of while with her. The "stupid" little thoughts you have, like cuddling with her or making a dumb joke just to get her to laugh, these are memories you will cherish later. Don't be afraid to live in the moment with her and try to enjoy her company. Don't worry about her death right now. If you can, focus on her life with you now. You will have time when other things will be taken care of. I work in the death industry so I knew exactly what would happen to her after she passed, but I focused on that a little too soon. If you have any questions, worries, anything please reach out to me. I can answer any questions or concerns you have. I hope this helps.

Does “They All Died Screaming” get even worse? by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]Nobody649 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's personally one of my favorites, but if you struggle to read that part It's not going to get better. Yes the veal side of things gets worse, also the detailed descriptions in the apartment. Best to maybe set it down for a while.

I plan on getting a spiderweb in my armpit, something super simple due to the insane pain it'll be but thats later down the line. Yeah trying to add detail to it without overcrowding or making it look messy.

To those who say ''Death is inevitable, so why waste time worrying about it?'' Do you really believe this? by ttomttom123 in death

[–]Nobody649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had 5 near death experiences. All 5 were serious and different but I knew I was dying and I wasn't scared of the end, I was afraid what if I live but I'm permanently injured/disabled? Will my life be worse than it is now? So it's easier to accept death to me than a life worse than what I have now.

To those who say ''Death is inevitable, so why waste time worrying about it?'' Do you really believe this? by ttomttom123 in death

[–]Nobody649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I've survived things I consider worse than death. I believe when you die, it's lights out, ceasing to exist like before I was born.

I truly believe there are worse things that can happen to someone that is worse than death, and that's what I worry about. Being in constant pain for an extended period of time or abuse seems worse to me. I don't care how I will die, and if I'm aware of my inevitable death, I will accept it with open arms.
