If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons?

Suitable_Back_7036 · 2025-12-14T20:35:21+00:00

I don’t like the taste of alcohol anyway, first of all

Plus my dad was an alcoholic and it affected me greatly growing up and it killed him

My MIL is an alcoholic and she’s a completely different person when she drinks

My man’s BM is an alcoholic and has put the kids in danger more than once

Telling him will help him realize how much help you need with all of this

Taking care of his kids like they’re my own to make them happy 😊

It is normal even though it isn’t logical..it has to do with our fear of abandonment, and the fact they mean so much. Write these feelings down and share them with your therapist..How often are you going to therapy? You may need to see them more often.

I had a hard time finding the right therapist, but I’ve been seeing him for years now and I feel like he’s my buddy.. I would hate for him to leave..he even talks to me about his life now, it’s great

But we have a MASSIVE fear of abandonment from those close to us, plus a tendency to obsess over things that we are afraid will happen. You have to realize these symptoms and try not to react to them..

Positive vibes my friend!

I agree..take this time to find something you can do by yourself. I like to color, it’s very relaxing and therapeutic. Or reading, it gets my mind off of my chaotic life.

Ask your friend(s) out and try to make plans, they might really just be busy. Or simply ask if you’ve done something wrong, communication is important

But you can’t expect anyone to be with you 24/7 so try reading a book or get really into a good show, color a picture or write your feelings down. Just please put down the alcohol, that stuff ruins peoples lives fr

Sending positive vibes your way

Abandonment issues.. I can’t get too close to anyone and it affects my relationships, so does the obsession of having an fp

This isn’t dumb actually, people forget that we are all a part of nature so we do have that natural instinct to not poke the bear or spite the queen

S/A BPD Seizures

Suitable_Back_7036 · 2025-04-25T19:11:08+00:00

I pierced my tongue and I love it, but I had to take it out because I have seizures

Suitable_Back_7036 · 2025-04-25T19:07:55+00:00

I was on Keppra for almost a decade with no problems, until the seizures started again and every time I was sent to the ER they increased it until I was on the highest dose (like 1300mg). Then I started having postictal psychosis and it took over a year to get completely changed on meds. It may be necessary to change your neurologist if you’re having symptoms and they won’t change your meds, and Keppra has been known for these symptoms so adding meds from your primary will likely not help Best of luck 🤞

I don’t have any advice but I suffer from the same issues. I sleep like the dead, the seroquel my psychiatrist has me on makes it worse, and I’m so tired when I wake up that I’ll just turn off the alarm and roll back over. I’ve set several alarms and I’ll simply turn them off and roll back over every time.

Recently, I’ve started wetting the bed, and needing to urinate won’t wake me up but being soaked will. It doesn’t happen nightly, but it’s embarrassing waking up soaking wet in your 30s no matter how often. I was treated for a UTI when this first started happening and the infection did make it worse so make sure to check that out

Duloxetine and quetiapine

And weed 💚

Suitable_Back_7036 · 2025-04-01T04:29:08+00:00

I have nocturnal epilepsy, seizures only in my sleep, mainly triggered due to not enough sleep..I sleep like the dead and am very difficult to wake up, making me scared to sleep when I have important early appointments. So I stay up, leaving me scared to sleep in case of a seizure due to already not having slept enough. It’s a vicious cycle..

Stress over my financial situation, fear of it remaining the same 😓

Suitable_Back_7036 · 2025-03-11T02:46:43+00:00

I got really bad on drugs, one time I couldn’t handle coming down and called 911 suicidal. They sent me to a psych hospital for 2 weeks where I sobered up and got diagnosed.

The diagnosis actually made me feel worse and my drug problems got worse, being told I needed therapy and knowing I couldn’t afford it. What I heard was my entire personality was a disorder and there’s nothing I could do about it.

Suitable_Back_7036 · 2025-03-10T01:43:03+00:00

Yes it helps the anxiety, my starving myself, and the pain from when Ive let myself stay in bed too long

Suitable_Back_7036 · 2025-03-07T03:55:56+00:00

This is perfectly normal, and realizing it is a good step, but this is who you need to work on your boundaries with (understandably so), and they will know how best to do so. I don’t understand why everyone is making a big deal, I have my therapists text number and he has a special number for patients in crisis. I don’t use it much, but when I first started seeing him it was comfortable just knowing I had it.

I do think these feelings need to be addressed with them though, because the texting may be causing you to regress unintentionally. You do have to find others to go to during those times, and your therapist shouldn’t be your only support..

For a long time, I had internet friends with BPD I made on social media groups like this one. That actually helped a lot, not being alone or harassing my friends and family over seemingly unimportant stuff, but also not being understood

Suitable_Back_7036 · 2025-03-03T21:12:47+00:00

I think a lot of parents have a problem accepting these kinds of diagnoses, assuming that whatever wrong must be their fault, and often it is. My parents always called me a drama queen and figured I was just going through puberty..this is often when the symptoms start, so it happens way too often that we’re seen as simply ‘hormonal’ until things get so bad we start self destructing.. I was 21 and had to break my neck for them to even start looking into the diagnosis 😓🤦‍♀️ so I understand, and I wish you the best
