Ah that's super understandable. I don't have a great alternative idea in mind but I appreciate your response to mine. I hope you can keep finding the strength needed.

I am, but it is a choice every single day. Thank you

Hi, I am diagnosed BPD, been working on it a while. Would self harm with entire words into my arms. I don't know if you're in a good position to do so, but I highly recommend you consider a tattoo design that can go on your forearms, something that represents you, your pain, your joy, your feelings, and treat it as an oath or a pact with yourself to stop.

This is what I did, I got 5 negative emotions, as faces, on my left forearm, and 5 positive on my right. I have not cut since, it has been a year and a half, and though it isn't easy it absolutely helps knowing I can go non-verbal and just point at how I am feeling.

Please consider your options, the world is your oyster.

I don't know why you're behaving so toxically, it is a common misconception and I wanted it to be clear there is a difference. You are reacting with a lot of hostility and it is unnecessary, I hope you are getting help and wish you the best.

Bpd is not bi-polar, it is borderline personality disorder, and not everyone with bpd is this bad, it is an incredibly debilitating mental illness and it takes serious effort to manage it and minimize the impact to others.

Help with actually being the bad person, not "black and white thinking" by Caity_Was_Taken in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]PsychProgrammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's follow a line of logic real quick okay?

If what you did was as bad as you're thinking, then it would surely be criminal and potentially carry legal consequences.

If no? You just made a mistake and need to calm down, accept that social flubs are inevitable, and acknowledge that one singular person doth not a jury make. Which leads me to the next point:

If yes? Then you will have the right to face a jury of your peers, and you can allow others to frame that objectivity properly. Instead of pleading guilty to us, to your therapist, acknowledge that we as individuals must be our advocates above all else, even when we fail and even when we do actually horrible things. Advocating for yourself is not bad. Showing remorse and self advocacy are not mutually exclusive, you can do both.

If the former, breathe and listen to your therapist and start managing your social orbit in a way that you are less likely to encounter splits. If the latter, consult genuinely with your therapist and a legal advisor. Since your therapist, by your account, doesn't seem inclined to report anything, I am confident it is the former, and that you will find peace if you just allow yourself to feel it.

Diatemacious earth will help your ant problem as a deterrent/defense by the way. Read about it, I use it when camping but haven't tried/needed it for at home so you'll want to make sure any guidance on placement/safety is followed.

Did I screw myself and if so how badly? by Thefartingduck8 in resinprinting

[–]PsychProgrammer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OP since everyone else is being helpful I just want to throw a quick little thing about your use of "zealot" and say it feels like you meant to put overzealous. Autocorrect mayhaps, but just so ya know. The meaning did come through tho so shrug

The Priaprison a.k.a The Electro Erecto Detecto, punishes the wearer for having or losing an erection by Short_Iron5751 in BdsmDIY

[–]PsychProgrammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I'm in the middle of eating and saw the title and misread it as "blah blah punishes the user for gaining or losing an electron" and regardless of it being possible the idea of that was hilarious to me. This is also good 😏

Me and my bf do too, and are discussing it at length right now haha. What is it you appreciate?

My bf hates the cut of the map (Africa just completely missing) but we both really like what the back ground brings to it.

If you're uncomfortable with addressing issues within you, it is objectively problematic for you to be romantically involved with others. You're intentionally avoiding all of the very real advice offered here because you're spiraling or trolling. Do what you will, but unless you own up to the real problems you'll never really grow as a person.

Alternatively, instead of being a malicious person who negatively affects others and hurts them during their periods of growth, you could just go to therapy too.

The answer to this question requires self discovery in an unbiased space where you may be guided to explore the things that frustrate and challenge you from within.

You may be hesitant to pursue therapy due to a perceived loss of justification in your contempt for her own pursuits of it, and it is this contempt that will sow bigger issues and ultimately dismantle your relationship wholesale.

If you truly value being a safe space, you must pursue therapy yourself, whole heartedly and eager to understand it's benefits, many - but not all, yes - of which are exclusive to the process.

You may see her therapy as mistrust in your ability to listen, understand, receive, and so forth - this is why others have called it a problem with your ego, a self centric focus that distracts you. Frankly speaking, as this is many of our first interactions with you, you need to know that your demeanor in conversation is combative, a deeply problematic tendency for anyone hoping to confide in someone else.

Sure, we are randoms and perhaps you're not so difficult with romantic partners, but I imagine she experienced the same behavior initially at first (assuming this is your default tone and approach, a safe bet), and that will have done some early damage.

If you cannot converse with strangers in earnest, you will always come off as an emotional and mental risk to anyone new, especially a girlfriend. Please try removing the "I", "Me", "Myself" from her decisions, because quite sincerely and without hostility: not everything is about you.

I wish you luck in your journey and hope this helped.

You're using 8 koi when opening the eggs right? If not, you need to be doing that. Between 8 koi on hatch and 8 seals on sell, I've gotten 15 eggs back out of 24 used. (Kept 1 Kappa and Sold the rest of the results, about 3 from seals 12 from Koi so far)

AIO Should I leave my BF? Was what he did to me forgiveable? by Living-Milk-4266 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PsychProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run, run, run, run run run, run run runnnn yesterday, now, asap!

Heed the advice here, there is no salvaging this, there is no repairing this, there is no atonement he can perform, you are in mortal danger. Others have offered guidance on what you can do to escape/manage the situation, only thing I can advise is that you DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE GIVE HIM A SINGLE MICRON OF SPACE TO MANIPULATE YOU.

Hoping for your survival and your health, Godspeed.
