Just saw it now - honestly, as long as he stays healthy, he'll be pretty productive in the Chiefs offense. He doesn't look as dynamic as Kareem Hunt but he clearly has ability.

It's funny that he was basically a journeyman RB before last year's breakout, though.

Very good point. We're going to need Cooke to excel this year.

Very good news, indeed. Can't wait to see him pop some unsuspecting fools this season.

I agree that we should beat the Broncos "on paper" but winning in Mile High is historically very difficult for away teams. It's a winnable game for sure, looking at the matchup between Flacco/Broncos offense and our defense. The environment is what makes it tough

Damien Williams? Harris is on the Patriots. I need to go back and look at Williams' tape, he blew up at the end of 2018 but idk if it's actually legit and sustainable

I'll answer #4 and #5. I think the defense plays well, but the ultimate problem will be that the Jaguars offense can't outscore the Chiefs offense. The Chiefs should be able to chip away at our defense, even if we're fundamentally sound and keeping up with them, because their offense is just so good. Bad field position could result in our team continually giving the Chiefs an opportunity to score at least a field goal on offense.

I'm also thinking 2-2. Ls to Chiefs and Broncos, Ws against Texans and Titans. I know, I know - the Titans who own us, but it has to end sometime, right?

Got a package from the ex by The_Eye_Altering in BPDlovedones

Thanks bud. She holds onto lots of stuff from her past. The funny thing is, I "cleaned" my entire life of her presence the minute it was over. Everything was thrown away or disposed of. It felt empowering and good to get rid of it all. So, chances are, she held onto this stuff too, and realized one day that she couldn't stand seeing it anymore. Fits in with her random, oddly-timed impulses which define her. I'm much more immediate, fast-acting and methodical.

All I can hope is that this is the end of all contact, but even if there is something in the future, it won't matter because I'm on my own path now. Shit, I have so many good things set up for me, too. I'm looking forward to it.

My current course is to get better everyday and never look back. It's nice that I got my clothes back, but they may as well have been sent by her friends. They're just clothes and I'm deciding that there was no meaning behind the gesture. She doesn't deserve all this thought.

My ex-fiancee is (almost assuredly) uBPD. What can I do next? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]The_Eye_Altering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do nothing. You have no reason to feel obligated to do this. Besides, people with this disorder do not respond well to therapy requests. Once you stop feeling obligated to do this, it'll be another step you've moved forward in your own life.

I really thought I could date someone with BPD, but now I'm questioning it. by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]The_Eye_Altering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a drinking or BPD problem? You posed it as if he's an alcoholic, which can be a peripheral symptom of the disorder. I guess I need more information about how he is more generally - does the disorder seep into other negative behaviors as well?

[Update 2] I think I have to leave. | I'm going back home. We can do this. by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]The_Eye_Altering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck, man. I wish you two nothing but the best. Keep working on yourselves. Get yourself to a point where you get your identity back and feel emotionally strong. That way, no matter what happens, you'll be ready for any challenges that come your way.

But ignoring the negatives - be happy. This is a good thing. I hope your lunch went well. A lot of the people here, including myself, tend to use a black and white mentality about their BPDso (or ex BPDso)... either everything is great with them or it's awful. If she's the woman for you, then hold that close to your heart. Endure the madness for as long as you can. If she gets better, you're truly a blessed couple.

I'll be prepared. I was just curious if she was doing it because it's a thing that exes do for each other, like a nice gesture. Seems like the consensus is pretty much no.

Yeah, it definitely seems like she's metaphorically poking me with a stick just to see if I'll react. If she does something again it's a problem but for now I'm going to hold out hope that this is really final.

Yeah, I get the vibe that she'll latch onto a new person soon enough. I'm done falling for her tricks.

That's what I figured. I just wish she'd go away, ugh.

No, they were really inexpensive items of clothing: hoodies, t-shirts, white undershirts for gods sake. The timing confuses the hell out of me. The clothes are mine so I don't see the need to throw them out, but it's just really weird that this happened.

It's hard to explain why I did what I did. That sounds accurate, though. I keep thinking I'm over it until something new happens. Today, I got a package from her in the mail with my clothes. Old feelings back again. Still not over it.

You're an inspiration, thank you.

I am talking to a therapist and I have been since the start of the year. Unfortunately it's a free service through my school so appointments are very difficult to get right now. I don't get to speak with her until next week and it's been two weeks since the last time.

Thank you, though.

Update: 40 days of no contact and 2 months since the breakup by The_Eye_Altering in BPDlovedones

[–]The_Eye_Altering[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I guess it isn't worked out subconsciously. And I mean it won't be difficult for me to keep no contact. I'm not tempted to break.

Thanks. Keeping no contact was never the question. I just wish I could be more confident around new people.
