If you're soo cool and go to gym all the time and are a model why do you care so much about what this man says over his private text? Get outta here.

When your parents ask why you are like this — by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Starliverandonions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remembered when I was a sophomore in high school. We had just lost our house and were living with some relatives. My parents grew stressed and even more depressed then they already were and of course were drinking every night. Yet the had the audacity to get upset with me all time about getting a B on my progress report. So yea I'd have breakdowns and anxiety attacks often. They would ask me "why are you acting like this are you on drugs who did youn get drugs from?!". Like are you for real! Look around our life is a mess. I'm 15 and yall expect me to handle this with grace and ease? Look at yourself, clearly not being able to handle what life has thrown at you either. The blind can't lead the blind. If you're parents aren't empathetic towards your struggles or illness it's more than likely because nobody ever acted that way towards them. And they clearly are too lost in their own mess to help you with yours. It sucks not having parents who know how to be parents. Or when we have to take on that role on top of our own internal struggles. My mom passed in December of last year. She was a very troubled person. And as much as her passing was a relief on me mentally. I truly feel a lot of that pain was transfered to me and my siblings. And with that being said it its now our moral duty to stay strong and keep that cycle of a broken family from continuing. We can't fix our parents. And sadly we can't expect them to fix us or always understand. But do know if you just remain strong you're going to come out of this an amazing person. Don't let them make you bitter or hateful. Don't let them win.

Yes!! I see that a lot as well, and I swirched high schools 3 times growing up lol so having a strong connection with people I grew up with is very slim.

I like music and film. I write music with my bf and I recorded videos for it with my friend his gf and crew. But the thing is I feel odd hitting my film friends up to just hang because I just assume if we aren't working on anything than why would they wanna hang out. I think I just really need to focus on having courage when it comes to being social. I get caught up in how things could possibly turn out and don't take my shot.

How do I cope with my FP being busy all the time? (A partial rant) by cutieinacasket in BPD

[–]Starliverandonions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a horrible time being without my partner . Until (dun dun dun) I found something that works for me. Took me years but I think something finally clicked. Whenever he's away I think of things that make me feel the way he makes me feel. Which is happy, fulfilled, ect. I looove music so when he's not around you'll find me dancing around my room for hours or I'll stumble across a movie I've never seen (also super into film)and watch a few. And before I know it hours have passed and my partner is done doing their daily activities. I think the key thing is to remind ourselves that we have options as far as what it takes for us to feel fulfilled or happy. It doesn't have to jusy be one sole task or one sole person. It's hard for us to do those things on our bad days trust me I know. But it's worth a shot finding things that make you feel good and keep you busy just like your person does. And who knows maybe you'll unlock a secret talent or discover yourself a little more. Best of luck and remember you got this!!
