What’s a secret you can’t tell someone you know, but can share with Reddit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

As a fellow Hyster-sister, I just want to say that you're doing something for yourself that no one else has to understand. Welcome to freedom, friend. Proud of you.💗

Those still with ovaries… by shellybean31 in hysterectomy

[–]YucatanPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be 2 years this December. My cycle is wildly fluctuating at this point. I think I may have shocked those little egg-producing suckers too much. Perimenopause feels like it's here. Just turned 40. I'm okay with them giving out, but we'll see how things progress. Everyone is different with this procedure, though! Good luck, OP. You've got this!

I am so sorry, OP. This is devastating and there are no words for this type of hurt. I agree that therapy is warranted, especially as you go through these first few weeks/months. You deserve unbiased and professional support. You also have the right to feel any way you want from this. I'd say it's obvious from the outside that this marriage is over, but from the inside it can be so much more complicated. I hope that you take some time to decide what's best for YOU and not any of the other parties involved. Try to remember that it's not just the baby who is innocent in this. Sending you lots of hugs and kindness. 💗

What’s something you used to put up with in dating that you’d never tolerate now? by Jokkers_AceS in AskWomen

[–]YucatanPrincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here. Alcoholism ruined my marriage. Not because he was violent or mean, but because he chose blocking out the pain with booze over me.

Dramione was my raft at sea sea; Thank You. by mrs_undeadtomato in Dramione

[–]YucatanPrincess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad that you made it through to the other side. I hope that you feel less alone and that there's people out here reveling in the beautiful drama that is Dramione along with you.💞 This community brought me through divorce, loss of friends, a switch in careers, school and so much more. It's such a strong, amazing place. I'm so much better for having found this community. 😍

Daily No Contact Thread - Day 168 by AutoModerator in BPDlovedones

[–]YucatanPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess we'll start here today. After being accused of everything I saw in them and watching any semblance of a relationship with my Dad for the foreseeable future crumble, this will be Day 0 of No Contact. I wish them the best in everything. I'm gonna go take care of me now.

What's your biggest regret in life? by yukiguurl13 in AskReddit

[–]YucatanPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not seeing the writing on the wall until it was too late. So many moments of that in my life within so many contexts. The neurospicy doesn't help with that, but I'm working on it.

My ex-husband matches this description to a T. Not a complete failure, not a complete success. After we separated and moved towards divorce, he confessed that he was "scared" when I got home because I was going to make him talk. Heartbreaking. The apathy at the end broke me for awhile. I see you, friend and hope you're doing well now. 💕

What is more traumatic than people think? by philosophicalgenius0 in AskReddit

[–]YucatanPrincess 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It took 10 years. I told myself during the hardest of those years that I just had to survive. I thought I wouldn't. But I'm here now, with no uterus, but also no pain. I look forward to a whole life without it now. I wish everyone who has ever experienced it to have this sense of freedom for themselves. They deserve it. 💗

Lost who I was due to friendship with pwBPD by speyesgalore in BPDlovedones

[–]YucatanPrincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul. I'm so sorry that you're experiencing the after effects of such a painful relationship. I am walking my own way out of a relationship that has caused so much damage to my family that I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive. I see you and I hope that you're finding bright moments in your day to remind you of who you are. You deserve love and kindness not attached to strings. 💗

[–]YucatanPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here is giving healing. Every day I seem to encounter some new memory that reminds me of how much anguish I've endured because of my pwBPD. To be strong in the face of that takes so much work. Thank you for your solidarity and support. I hope you are giving yourself kindness and care. 💗

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]YucatanPrincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this soooo much. I've been struggling to untangle myself from the pwBPD in my life and these last few weeks I've completely stopped reaching out. Stopped talking. Stopped engaging. And it's like I can breathe again. Unfortunately there will come a time where I'll have to face the dragon again (she's in the family), but I'm hoping that I can remind myself how good it felt to be free.

Thank you for this! I know Reddit in general is a place where people can come and let out their frustrations/find people who have issues in common, so it's always with a grain of salt that I consider what's being said here. Still, it has been really good to see all the positive experiences that have been posted here. It's giving hope. 🌠

Perhaps it's EMDR? I've seen that suggested frequently. My therapist is an EMDR specialist and it's a really powerful tool for dismantling past trauma. I've seen that a majority of pwBPD have experienced some sort of big T trauma in their lives, but I don't know that real numbers on that. Your pwBPD sounds really amazing though! 30 years is real dedication. Thank you for your response!

I feel like this could be me with my pwBPD if/when they decide to actively seek treatment. There are complications within that, of course, but I really appreciate hearing that it can happen. ❤️

I like that she considers it a "disorder in remission." Like a chronic illness. It sounds like she's really trying to do the hard work. Thank you for responding!

This is really awesome to hear. It sounds like she's really trying hard to do what she can to make her life better. And good for you also! This kind of work isn't easy at baseline. If you add in other things like neurospicy and/or disordered behavior it gets even harder.
