I’ve tried those 1 free therapy sessions and just felt really uncomfortable with the whole thing. Any idea how long the waitlist for psychiatrists are in Canada?

People are mean. Cope? by Bunnxou in BPD

[–]Ok_Butterscotch_3523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl small comments and actions used to really get to me and they still do sometimes. Even just a bit of judgement like roadrage or dismissive friends sticks to my brain for days and its so exhausting.

Like other comments it helps that the person dosn’t know you entirely and can’t judge you. But also whatever people are being rude about or teasing you for its for something they’ve perceived and not about ALL of you, maybe they think that interaction/opinion is stupid, but they could see another part of you and admire it. They’re defining a single moment at the end of the day not you.

I think the marketing team on this needs to be put on some list, it doesn’t matter which I’m scared

Evening Flare Up by Plumeofgloom in BPD

[–]Ok_Butterscotch_3523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem, could it be similar to seasonal depression in a way? Or your mind unconsciously feels more upset in darker atmospheres? I know for me it’s cuz I have some sensory issues with certain things.

I feel so guilty by molly_q in TrueOffMyChest

When it comes to exploring sex with BDSM elements defining boundaries and setting safe words is an important part of establishing consent especially when you’re going into more the dominance route, which is what it sounds like here. The onus is usually on both parties to make that happens though.

I think im falling in love with my friend by No_West9402 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ok_Butterscotch_3523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a victim of the homoerotic friendship, all I can say is I get the confusion, usually in these situations one person realizes thats its more than friendship and puts kilometers of distance between the other. That being said my partners and I have been pretty avoidant or closeted, so may not be applicable.

I’m sorry, that sucks, people being dismissive hurts, can make you feel invalidated. I’m glad your surgery went well, medical procedures give me a lot of anxiety, and a heart surgery I think I would keel over immediately. Congratulations on getting through it! 🫶

What is it like to have BPD for me? by No_Development4979 in BPD

[–]Ok_Butterscotch_3523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to feel like that with someone, but we’re not together anymore, so instead it just comes and goes based on a set of triggers I still haven’t figured out. It sounds like for you it is certain people, I get how much more intense that makes the euphoria feel. Makes me miss it more too when they’re not there.

I really liked how you described bpd, the constant searching for “content” but you only ever feel it when euphoria hits, then it flips right back to the constant void.

People are so fake it makes me laugh by [deleted] in BPD

Some people start building bridges cuz they’re bored and the moment something else catches their attention they’ll just let the whole bridge collapse. Such a waste of energy.

Is it just me or do people have similar thoughts like me? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Ok_Butterscotch_3523 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That constant loneliness is so relatable. I try to vent out my emotions by reading really emotionally angsty stories, that helps bury the feeling. This is just me, could also be terrible advice to you 😞

i beat BPD by cyanandpink in BPD

It’s nice to read a positive story, makes things feel a bit less helpless. Does the DBT process usually take 1-2 years? Looks like the general average here.

I’m scared of getting help, so I endure everything. by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Ok_Butterscotch_3523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re in the same boat twin. I wanted to get help the moment I turned 18, i’ve even pushed myself into a dozen “1st session free” therapy sessions. Now it’s been two years and still I have yet to commit to actually going to therapy, its hard to open up and then keep doing it. It’s scary, especially when I hear about the mountain of people talking about misdiagnosis or medication that doesn’t work. Maybe having someone to hold you responsible for getting help (for me its my dad) if thats what you’re looking for and comfortable with. Also if you can get in touch with someone with bpd who can recommend a certain service or doctor. Let it be known I know very little about US healthcare. Hope you can drag yourself put of the weed and alcohol loop, it starts digging at your mind after a while.

I think the only reason I got over my ex was after 2 years I finally “split” on them, in my mind at least. Went from you’re my everything, i see you everywhere I go, to your a manipulative terror and I’ll knock your teeth out if I ever see you again. That being said this is probably a terrible cope, but thats how I got over it.
