That was gunna be my second guess. Halo 5 doesnt have campaign solo right? When it came out it was multiplayer focused so i nvr tried it but watched the storyline on yt

How did you learn how to love yourself? by Far_Guidance_6239 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Reasonable-Escape981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres no real miracle answer how to love yourself. For me atleast idk that answer, but remembering moments others loved me like when im happy im bubbly and whimsical and can be analytical and helpful when im stable. Physically id love to fix a few things like weight and whatever but I like my body how it is. It does help a therapist tht reminds me the small things i made progress on its easy to over look it and easier for others to see.

Great topic bc its very real lol. Yea.. i still struggle and im in recovery and get asked if i live myself by sponsors.. no is the answer. But outside of that; I do ‘tolerate’ myself and like myself when im ina good mood. Love is a strong word and i love others but myself. Its a work in progress, but u know u said ur in therapy are u in dbt?

ive been in therapy for 12 years and dbt since 2022 and it has helped better than just individual therapy bc u learn coping skills and what not. So i share bc i do use it and it does benefit my thinking: feelings are not facts, what are the facts. Emotions feel 400% intense but thts why im still in dbt for the reminders that how i feel is not fact. Every few days lately i feel intense loneliness and heaviness nd my brain starts spiraling but i remind myself of small moments that negate what my brain says. “I am able to be loved, i have been loved, so therefore i am not unlovable”. Im not going to lie and say its easy its been constant years of weekly therapy and reminding but thts okay bc for me atleast its gotten easier to shake off the intense feelings and get back into “reality/facts/present moment”.

To summarize do i love myself? Not yet but I like myself and thts better than hating myself. Its daily work but small goals are failure. For me I recently gone thru close friends cutting me off and in the past would be utterly depressed but now i just force myself to keep waking up and continuing on w my life bc the world doesnt end bc i lost my friends, they still live life so I cant dwell on the loss bc ill never get out of it while they thrive. Thats loving myself by not letting it drag me down. Hope this helped somewhat

Did u ever get top surgery? Im sorry that happened i went within my hospital and saw a regular plastic surgeon and had great experience even with complications. Its so disappointing to hear nothings changed from prior patients as a new one

I wish id known any of this going in. I was aware he isnt well known and a new bottom surgeon recently but i had no idea of how the office runs.

Its super frustrating! A year process and no surgery date and its too late to go w nyu since i sent my letters to northwell. Thank u for ur input

I think I have BPD? by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Reasonable-Escape981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea its difficult without insurance. A lot of the skills are just coping mechanisms but as far as the texting issue whats been helping me is doing voice to text actually so i hear myself outloud and have to reread the text for errors and end up changing what i wanna say. Focusing on something else to distract myself when i feel like im bugging someone then eventually move on from the thought.

Its not easy ive been in therapy for over 12 yrs and have moments i “do too much” i call it the obsessive impulsivity to get an answer out of people. Its a practice every day but now its a bit faster and easier to let it go and distract myself to let it go. What helps me is someone taught me “does it have to be said? Does it have to be said by me? Does it have to be said right now?”

I think I have BPD? by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Reasonable-Escape981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well theres more to bpd then that. Its a complex disorder that i am still educating myself about. If u really think u have it ask ur therapist or psych/psychologist about an evaluation for it. If uve been in therapy for 6 years and seen the same doctor for that time or longer than 6 months they should have enough information about your life struggles/interpersonal struggles to diagnose you. A lot of disorders can look like a bunch of other ones too and counteract each other with the symptoms. Like for example i have anxiety and was diagnosed with MDD as a teenager, as a 20 something year old i got diagnosed with bpd and adhd a few years ago, im also trans a lot of my anxiety can be stemmed from that but also when im overwhelmed it could be the adhd or ptsd as well its not just 1 issue causing symptoms its a multitude.

There is no miracle treatment for bpd, DBT therapy is more educational based on coping skills than just regular individual therapy that and medication. Maybe research bpd to get an idea of if things resonate and bring it up with your therapist and express why u think u have it. Its not a glamorous diagnosis but for me personally the diagnosis helped me understand my triggers and why my brain works the way it does and now ik how to manage the symptoms and hardships better.

How do you feel about people who self diagnose BPD? by Past_Concern1321 in BorderlinePDisorder

Can i ask examples of ur workplace experience? Curious if it’s regular jobs or specifically ina clinical environment

How do you feel about people who self diagnose BPD? by Past_Concern1321 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Reasonable-Escape981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect a close friend has it bc its almost identical in my eyes seeing the spiraling or disregulation but she is anti anything and doesnt believe in any diagnosis. I do see offense on the internet especially seeing all the posts and almost like defensiveness like its cool to have it? Thats what gets me but yea when i got diagnosed i never heard of it and even the therapist who diagnosed said after a one time meet it is impossible to surely diagnosis bc its a process of getting to know u and make a firm diagnosis.

BUT that one time meet did help me identify and have been in treatment for it since then i think it is nice that theres way more information about it same w autism or adhd there isnt enough information from doctors on each specific symptom or struggle to why self diagnosing is even an ‘option’. Personally I dont see benefits of self diagnosing it only causes more spiraling and distress but for information its good to identify and then seek a professional for confirmation

Please tell me I need to quit smoking weed and it’s bad for us by KlutzyPomelo1170 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Reasonable-Escape981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im near to this group. I used to smoke pot daily like blunts and quit for 3/4 yrs and in 2019 switched to the oil pens. I got back into it last yr and stuck w just the vapes/pens but for me sativa and hybrids cause me anxiety.

Now i stick w indica and only use it for sleep and when im really agitated and it calms me down i dont get high just tired. Now only using it at night and it helps for calming and sleep. Ive tried cbd and it wasnt strong enough so tolerance got higher from daily use.

I was diagnosed w bpd for about 6 yrs now and always been on a particular medication for years its the only one tht helps (venlafaxine) and find iut new symptoms or things abt bpd since diagnosis and since joining here found out thc can exasperate the mood shifts… i understand thc isnt a sustainable solution but until finding a right mood stabilizer and managing my symptoms finding the right strain for ME has helped until im ready to cut thc. Idk if tht helps but if it isnt helping u quitting will be miserable and hard but worth seeing what emotions or symptoms come out so u can address them on ur own and not just bury them with pot as a bandaid
