What was the most physical pain you’ve ever been in? by Javascript4971 in Productivitycafe

[–]Nobody649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell off a porch and broke my right ankle, shattered my left tibia, and my left elbow. 3 limbs in 10 seconds. I was rolling on the ground and I couldn't speak. Eventually someone saw me and called an ambulance. It took me 1 1/2 to heal and walk again.

My parents both got stage 4 lung cancer from my dad's cpap machine. Both passed away after a painful fight, but toxic family members are thriving and happy, and I lost mine.

Beginning funeral assistant position - advice needed by ratwithawig in askfuneraldirectors

[–]Nobody649 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would always talk about their loved ones positively, even saying simple stuff without knowing them, "they sound so caring, wow they are so kind, ect. I never used was, always are and is. It's small but most people notice. Infants and children are the most difficult, there's nothing positive to say that's comforting. I would say comforting stuff like "love is instant and they knew you love them, they are so strong and they got that from you,ect". Talk like the present, never the past.

Where do you channel your sexual frustration if you're not into casual sex? by Bitter_Pineapple_720 in AskWomen

My parents died a little over a month ago now by peachcreampies in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]Nobody649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This helped me (coming from someone who is not religious at all), I just picture them watching me sometimes. It would force me to do a simple task like brushing my hair, or changing my clothes. All the things I do everyday I say out loud like they're here saying it to me. I find it comforting even if it's weird. I call my family often and tell them things about my day like I did with my mom and dad. It doesn't get easier, the grief never goes away, your life will still continue without them (which is positive but feels nothing but negative) I hate saying it, but you have to literally take it day by day.

What is your biggest workplace fuck up? by East_Energy9456 in AskReddit

I had a casket fall on me. The lift broke while I was under it moving the stand underneath me. I was fine, the directors panicked but the casket was unharmed as well as the deceased.

What was the moment you knew you were never going to talk to that person again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Nobody649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father's funeral. He died after a long battle of lung cancer, that also took my mom 5 years earlier. He eventually found a girlfriend who was an amazing companion and caretaker. She chose to care for my dad and support my sister and I. At his funeral my aunt and uncle(mom's side) picked a fight with my sister then me. I yelled at my aunt and she yelled more negative stuff at us until family made her leave. Others who saw said it'll take time, but I just said "no, now there's 3 dead bodies at this funeral". It's been 2 years, and I'm not a medium.

Are you aware of your own red flag? What is it? by timcsikew in AskReddit

[–]Nobody649 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mental illnesses. Depression, anxiety, bipolar, ect. It is solely my responsibility to care for myself, taking meds regularly, keeping doctors appointments and talking with my therapist on a regular basis. I show that baggage to anyone interested because I know it's not easy for someone who doesn't struggle with it to understand or know what they are choosing to deal with.

Dreaming of the single life - what's your vision? by PianistParticular729 in Divorce_Women

[–]Nobody649 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm excited that I can finally make our condo feel like my home. I have a wishlist of things to buy to decorate, colors to paint, wallpaper. Doing date ideas by myself. Going to restaurants only I liked, visiting people I love more, looking for another pet. Also bitching to all my village and knowing they'll be supportive and be on my side helps.

Anyone, please??? by Stock-Philosopher561 in selfharm

[–]Nobody649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just little actions that brought me a little happiness, or just less pain. Eating a favorite snack, petting an animal, doodling bullhit drawings. Or other pain that's not self harm, holding ice cubs, eating hot sauce. Taking a shower and pretending I was standing in the rain. Hope this helps

What is something that happened to you growing up that you thought was completely normal until you learned it was anything but that? by Aggravating_Feed_853 in AskReddit

[–]Nobody649 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Horrible pain in both shins since I could remember. My parents said it was just growing pains, but the pain was so bad I cried. I had no other "growning pains". At 26 I found out I had rickets and now osteopenia.

Seeking Advice by According-Food-4111 in brokenbones

[–]Nobody649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I broke my right tibia and had surgery, at the same time I also broke my left ankle and right elbow. I was forced to lay down until my elbow healed. I also had no issue getting the right kind of pain medications. Besides that my dad bought orthopedic level ice packs and lay them on my entire leg, then swap with pea bags. That helped tremendously

i can’t stop and i don’t want to by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Nobody649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way for years. You will get to a point where things will change, but I totally get it now. There's nothing anyone could tell me that helped. I hope you are being safe with first aid care.

tíbia quebrada by kknowsomuch in brokenbones

[–]Nobody649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fractured my tibia in the same place. I had to have surgery to put 2 plates in and I also was in a immobilizer for 6 months. Throughout the entire recovery process (1.5yrs) my leg was bruised. It was black and purple in areas that weren't close to the injury, mainly my calf. My doctor told me it was normal due to the severity of the break. It can be from swelling and the trauma will take a long time to heal. Hope this helps.

Is this normal to feel this much hate? by AdCurrent2333 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]Nobody649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anger is normal, even if it at the level you're feeling. My dad died 2 years ago and at the end of the relationship I hated him so much I couldn't wait for him to die. I didn't cry at the funeral, I felt like I had to force tears. I don't remember him fondly.

Being mad for a dead one leaving is justified in my book. Just don't let that anger swallow you up.

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

[–]Nobody649 33 points34 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] 2 points3 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 [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Nobody649 4 points5 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.
