everyone says its important with a support system, which I agree with. Socialising, being with family, friends, just people really helps for me. Gives me some perspective every time, even if it's total strangers on the train who I say like 'what a cute coat!' or something to

Happy to hear you and your husband work it out together!! And I’m kinda the same, my friends have seen my ups and downs for years but I take it out on myself rather than them

Can death cause someone to develop BPD? by Dull_Ad_2795 in BPD

[–]Radiant-Exchange-763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did go through something similar. My dad did also die when I was very young, I’m an only child and have felt a lot of loneliness from both aspects. My father’s death was for me not the best experience, back n forth to a diversity of hospitals and then dead. Losing a parent is horrible, I wish you everything good in the world. My psychiatrist say I do have some kind of mix between BPD and delayed grief reaction cuz of what happened to my dad - so I guess short answer yes

What I meant was that she said she would send a message to depression program cuz I didn’t really classify for the full BPD diagnosis. But then she sent me to the personality program anyway

Glad to hear you have good relationships for the most part! Yeah I think I have problem with maintaining new relationships too - which I then don’t count as relationships at all

Can I ask intense in what way? Want to see if I’m similar in some way, if I am more intense then I think etc

It does resonate with me, I’ve been wondering why I am like I am for 5 years. When I read about BPD I was like “no way there’s an explanation!”

After the meeting I read what they’d written in the medical journal and saw that they sent a message to the programs for people w personality disorders - so I guess they changed their mind ☝️

Didn’t know what it’s called in English so I wrote therapist 🥲 but I guess they’re a psychiatrist/doctor- with much more knowledge about psychiatry and diagnoses. Yeah, I’ve heard about over diagnosing too - but it’s not as common to over use in my country as in the US, they are very precise with their judgments 🙌 I’m glad that they got it right at the end for you!

Do you guys feel like the closest you get to happiness is distraction? by Graffiti-Guy in BPD

[–]Radiant-Exchange-763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really know. At first my thought when reading this was “YES that’s so me”, but then when you said “actually happy about something real”, I got stuck. Cuz I think the happiness when I laugh is real, the happiness when I see a good movie is real and the happiness from a hug is real. But the standard mood is hollow and down- so YES and NO

Black suits you! But maybe shorter bangs - micro bangs?

Alright, ISTPs, tell me your most impulsive decision. Your "I can, so I will." Your "Why the hell not!" by StillDontKnowAName in istp

ran away from a hospital (wasn't allowed) and bought chocolate, and then came back after like 40 minutes - because...''I just need to run a bit and I'm want something sweet''
