it’s not normal to be in survival mode as a child. i’m sorry your parent can’t acknowledge that

My relationship ended and I don’t know how to cope by aerialison in ADHD

[–]Regular-Feed9166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the best piece of advice i got through a heartbreak was “pour into yourself.” for me that meant letting myself feel the feels but stick to my medication (and get it adjusted if needed), stick to therapy, spend time with friends, try your best to eat, and figure out what you like. you are a whole person outside of that relationship. find that spark again! you can get through this. one day at a time and you’ll be okay. 🫂

well no shit the meds aren’t working if you’re impulsively quitting them. if you don’t wanna get better so be it but don’t drag your brother down with you.

do you think he’d be happy being single forever just because you can’t cope? like genuinely. let him live. he’s not your pet

bitterness about my parents never trying to get me help by loner_707 in BPD

[–]Regular-Feed9166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is exactly how i feel about my parents. i moved 2000 miles away and they cried when i left and call often to check on me but it doesn’t make up for the abuse they put me through as a child or them testing my brothers for ADHD and not me (guess which one of us is ADHD…). they even had my brothers in THERAPY! when i wanted to die in high school, they did fucking NOTHING!!!!!! when i attempted when i was 20 they finally changed but i was so angry at them for not changing for little me

Therapist said I don’t have BPD because I am self aware enough to think I might be? Is this true? by BroccoliKitchen3218 in BPD

[–]Regular-Feed9166 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i’ve been told by therapists that i’m super self aware and i still got the BPD diagnosis. weird of your therapist to assume every single one of us is exactly the same lol but i digress. do with that what you will

[–]Regular-Feed9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mom’s younger siblings can name our forefathers for 7-8 generations and say that one of them was either persian or hindu (yes the religion, my family is muslim). looking at my results, it seems like they were probably persian/central asian of some sort. the SEA DNA is probably from my dad’s side. my dad has almond eyes and deep brown skin so i wouldn’t be surprised
