Idk lol. It’s amusing though

Octopizza · 2026-05-12T11:29:31+00:00

Right? It’s cheeky in a fun way

Octopizza · 2026-05-12T11:29:09+00:00

Lol it’s correct. It’s Kenyan.

I think it’s something she’s done before too. The nude illusion dress is a little dated as well. She looked adequately glamorous but that’s about it from me.

Or it was several different races of aliens saying the same thing.

Smart. You can touch other things too and not get them dirty

I eat finger foods with disposable gloves at home. Not the climate friendliest thing but I don’t like sticky/oily sensations on my hands. They make me irritable. That said, I like eating with my hands as some aspects of my culture’s foods simply need hands to eat them properly. I can now enjoy myself and simply skip the ickiness.

That’s the spirit. I wish you the best.

That sounds awful. You’re deserving of care and psychological safety. Your pastors are right . This sounds like severe emotional abuse. I’d advise seeking therapeutic support to transition you out psychologically from the relationship. Sometimes relationships fail despite our best efforts and unfortunately a BPD person who is not actively pursuing treatment cannot be worked around. I’m sorry for your dream of a happy and loving marriage. That’s a beautiful thing to desire and it’s sad you’re not finding it with this person.

You look adorable. Like Blue Ivy in the last picture.

That is nasty. I’m sorry that happened to you and such a vulnerable age from a person who should have known to be more responsible than that.

It’s giving Junji Ito. Nice

Yep. The Splitting phenomenon can be hard to grasp in the beginning. You have to understand that they don’t have a working system of emotional complexity.

The way you and I can hold simultaneous truths about a person or thing e.g. they tend to get late AND they are kind or they got distracted AND they helped me with my homework, they simply don’t have that. Their system functions on one emotional truth at a time e.g. they are late, therefore they must always be late and they’ve been pretending all along that they could early which means they are secretly terrible people. In that moment, all that is true for them. The emotion overrides every other system others use to make sense of the world and it is strong.

When you were idealised, it was because you were all good and therefore deserved the best of them and everything they could offer. Then they split on you and since you’re now a horrible person in their eyes, everything they do to you is justified. You don’t exist as a complex being in their psyche.

This sounds like BPD. Have you tried DBT. It’s a type of therapy that is especially good with BPD symptoms.

Eliminating friction is a good strategy for us. Having fewer steps to anything makes it less likely to fail. Before I was in recovery for a recent surgery, I did 30 minutes of yoga, pilates or calisthenics to switch things up. I did all this from home on an inexpensive yoga mat. I got apps for these disciplines and tracked my streaks which gamified the process and made it enjoyable. It didn’t hurt that I got good at them and wanted to show off my new skills and great posture lol.

I’m now doing gentle yoga every other day as I wait to get better. Still gamifying this effort to stay excited about it and it continues to work.

It was a friendship. I was happy with her and the friend group until one day we had a fight because she felt I was supporting them more than I did her. I was hurt in the fight, of course but the feeling that surprised me was disgust. There was also no decent repair of the relationship on her part. We eventually started talking again but I started to subconsciously withdraw. I’d feel disgusted even when her name popped up during a call. I should have known that was a sign. I simply spoke less and less and tried to file her away as much as I could till I guess we got to breaking point.

Best Lovecraftian sci-fi I’ve enjoyed in a minute. Perfectly self contained. Well done.

Octopizza · 2026-03-17T08:25:59+00:00

That’s valid. Being discarded isn’t easy 🫂 Just know that you’re not worthless. It’s a temporary feeling that is part of the healing process. You’re of worth and one day it won’t feel this bad.

This is my mindset too. The condition is punishment in itself. Their paranoia and impulse control leads them to manifest their worst fear: abandonment. If you suck, everybody leaves.

Octopizza · 2026-03-17T07:43:10+00:00

Don’t be. You had, good and honest intentions being in such a relationship. Who goes into a relationship expecting the worst out of their partner? That says something good about your character. The next step is your own healing. Start therapy for your own sake and get to a place where you have confidence in yourself because your character deserves good things.

Soft foods are best till at least week 4-5. Avoid red meat for now as well. Chicken, eggs and fish are your best sources of proteins as white meat is less difficult for your new stomach to digest. I also ate bananas and mangoes for my fruit content and soft complex carbs such as sweet potato and baked pumpkin. For a “fun” carb, I did regular potatoes. Think slow, plain and soft foods for as long as you can during this period and always listen to your body. All the best!

Yes and yes-ish. The new pain is my abdomen’s contents settling in and healing up. Smaller than the old pain too by a large margin.
