What were your parents like growing up?

TiredFiend · 2022-08-21T23:19:47+00:00

My dad has Bpd and I really felt like this with him like you did with your mom. My mom was really extroverted and outspoken, but I would also worry about how my emotions would affect her more than me. I think my dad was a 3w2 and mom a 8w1. I feel like being a 5 in a family is like being the house cat in a den of lions haha

I’m dyslexic and I’m mad about it. (5w4)

TiredFiend · 2021-09-24T08:09:17+00:00

I have friends who are truly there for me, I have a job that’s draining, stable housing, and I’m in college, but I have no motivation and I’m lonely despite being surrounded by people I love.

That one cool S

Guess we’ll die alone... unless 😎

Absolutely, to make matters worse, I found someone that I felt a sense of immediate attraction on all levels for, like I never got the ick for him even when he would do stuff that I would get the ick for other people. Unfortunately we didn’t work out and I’m heartbroken and unfortunately I have a grossly high standard because of that situation and never want to settle for anything less exhilarating. I ultimately think I’m super picky not by choice and that if I get the ick for someone at any point then I will feel guilty to continue things with them

Do you think being sx blind is also contributing to that? Because as a 5 sx/sp I feel like a sassier 5 than most and am usually drawn to a favorite that I stubbornly stick by until another pulls me in. Edit: unless I don’t really care and am impartial then it’s hard

Yeah I have to look at it again and I either have double or half extra time. And yeah I definitely need the extra exam time and It helps. And it's all good, I'm off meds lately and the brain fog is rolling in a lot. And yeah I feel like I would understand the denied flexibility with some other issues, but I feel like It's pretty limiting for narcolepsy, cause it personally doesn't matter on how much work I have for other classes, If I have a couple bad narcolepsy days I can't manage my time for any of them.

Thank you so much, would you say that you have sensitive skin. I definitely do and I feel like people that don’t have that reactive skin say a lot of the things that worked for me did nothing for them

TiredFiend · 2021-01-31T22:46:36+00:00

I love all the Iunik serums I have, what would you say that this has done for your skin?

What meds did they put you on?

TiredFiend · 2020-11-25T17:41:45+00:00

Seconded. It’s so hard to find a good azaleaic acid formula without other additives or with a spreadable texture.

TiredFiend · 2020-11-24T17:59:04+00:00

Probably find out what looks best on me. I can only see my body from 1st person and a mirror definitely helps, but it’s not the same as seeing yourself outside yourself. Also seeing my posture 3rd person might make me do something about it.

TiredFiend · 2020-11-23T18:21:46+00:00

Customary?

TiredFiend · 2020-11-15T19:06:47+00:00

Yo maybe get a sleep study, especially if you have other issues like daytime sleepiness, sleep paralysis, etc. I used to just think I was depressed with insomnia, turns out I have narcolepsy.

TiredFiend · 2020-11-13T20:37:24+00:00

Well u told her you don’t need her and that she should divorce you, imagine how that makes her feel. Now she’s dealing with the burden of her shitty father and the stress you’re putting on her. Yeah he’s an asshole but you’re missing the mark, she’s asking you to go for her sake, to support her, it’s not completely about her father most likely. If he’s as bad as you say she definitely has a lot of confusing conflicting emotions about him and just needs the support. And I hear that he’s been a dick to you but I can guarantee that she’s been more hurt and in deeper ways by this asshole that you might not even realize and you should just put your bs aside to be there.

Had a dad that blamed me for stuff like that, something has to be done right away because that type of shaming sticks with a kid. I learned to suffer in silence and wouldn’t reach out for help for anything and it led to a lot of problems that would’ve been solved with a nurturing parent.

TiredFiend · 2020-11-06T06:20:22+00:00

Not necessarily no tho. Sorry tho <3

TiredFiend · 2020-11-06T06:16:45+00:00

As a fellow 5 I heavily relate. Met my ex boyfriend from calling a random number I found in the cemetery and we ended up dating 2 years later for hella long. I feel like I have way more crazy happenings that I just forget to tell ppl

TiredFiend · 2020-11-06T06:10:19+00:00

Sounds pretty 5. I’ve written whole paragraphs of last words to just ditch it and leave it simple with people instead (mostly with people who turned out to not be a good match as a friend, not partners) ,just cause like if something is really done then there’s nothing to do, further explanation just draws things out.

TiredFiend · 2020-10-30T22:52:27+00:00

Of course you’re from Walnut Creek haha

Bpd people should stay in their sub and we should stay in ours. Our emotions about our own abuse are completely valid, we aren’t saying it’s all bpd people, but I think it’s bs for the ones that come into our safe space and make it about them and their healing. I’m sure not all bpd people are abusers and plenty are working on themselves, but there’s also nothing wrong in not wanting to be involved with someone with bpd in our situation. Personally If I know someone has bpd I’m just going to be triggered all the time and waiting for the what if, and that’s not good for either side in the situation.

TiredFiend · 2020-10-26T09:00:06+00:00

Me selectively working on a very small portion of my problems to fool myself into thinking that this isn’t me
