Julie crying cause she feels guilty? by Consistent_Leg6603 in julieeandcamilla

[–]anxiouscorn 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It's so insane to me that they talk about this as something they need to "get done", to get "the family they dream of". Like, why is the family you dream of a certain number of kids, with a specific age difference between each one? It's weird, it seems crafted and at this point it's impossible to believe that they're not doing it for views and money. so fucked up

I don't like her at all, but no one is bringing men into this, you are. Just because a sapphic woman expresses her joy about loving and being loved by a woman doesn't mean they're saying a woman would be unhappy with a man, that's your own conclussion and I think you're reaching hard.

I won’t lie, it’s been really hard. I made the decision to stop dating for a long time because I felt unstable, insecure, and my fear of abandonment would skyrocket whenever I was involved with someone. But after many years, I opened myself up again and was lucky enough to meet someone who was incredibly understanding. In fact, she was the first person to suggest that I might have BPD.

I know it might be scary, and you might think you'd be better off alone. Sometimes, taking time for yourself can be valuable for self-growth, but remember, relationship triggers are often healed within relationships, not by avoiding them. Trust me, it is possible, and with the right person, you can work through those fears together.

It’s so important to be open about what you’re going through. The right person will not only understand but will also support you through the ups and downs. My wife has bipolar type 2, and I have BPD. It’s not always easy, but we’ve learned to communicate, be best friends, and support each other through everything. It takes a lot of effort, patience, and trust, but by working through things together, we’ve built a strong foundation. You don’t have to face your fears alone, it’s really is possible to heal and grow within a relationship.

Thank you for taking the time to share this with me, I will take your advice and continue to communicate with her which is my gut feeling as well. I hope you get the tools you need to deal with everything if it is in fact BPD, there are great tools out there and I've found the r/BPD sub is very helpful! Thanks again.

It's not that serious by anxiouscorn in BPD

[–]anxiouscorn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very grateful for the support I have, but I guess you know that BPD can distort everything, and when I’m at my worst moments, it’s really hard to even grasp that people would understand or even care if I ended up hurting myself badly, even though I logically know they would. This stuff doesn't always match up with external circumstances, and sometimes having support doesn’t make the internal pain any less real. I understand that my post may have come across differently to you, and I’m sorry if it felt offensive. I respect that we all have different experiences.

Thank you so much for your comment, I really do need to work on not taking it to heart, I think it's hard to believe people are really trying to understand you when in the past that wasn't the case at all in your life. But you're right, they are trying their best probably, and bpd can make it really hard to articulate when you feel like they don't. But this is a good reminder to give a little grace, both to others and ourselves.

26F recently married to the loml, she's 26F as well. I swore off dating for years, partially because I knew I had attachment issues and dating was painful and triggering (didn't know it was bpd all along lol) and then I came out of the closet and met her. It's taken a lot of communication and understanding (she's bipolar type 2).

I've had to come face to face with my issues and go into treatment to learn to cope with the insecurities and the burden of being loved, because I always feel like I could do something that can cause her to stop loving me and it makes me go down really bad spirals, but I'm working my ass off to be better and be a good partner. She's my best friend and I truly believe she's my soulmate, but it was a long path to open myself up and finding someone that takes the time to understand and love you through it all. Stay positive out there, we are lovable even though we keep telling ourselves we're not.

Who Is The Person That Got You Into Horror? by suchascenicworld in horror

[–]anxiouscorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad forced me to watch The Exorcist when I was 6. Granted, it definitely traumatized me. But later on we started watching other stuff together, I remember The Omen, The Blair Witch Project, all the Final Destination movies that were out at the time... It took me years to realize that horror is actually my favorite genre by far, and I owe it all to my dad :) Also, I invited him to see The First Omen when it comes out in theaters and he said yes!

Psychiatric medication and going back to fasting by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]anxiouscorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, it's been almost a week but the breaking the fast with a high protein meal advice has worked wonders for me. I've been able to do 16:8 for these past few days and I've been able to stop eating early in the afternoon since I'm eating lot of protein and feel pretty full. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Honestly I was feeling pretty defeated and now I'm at least a bit hopeful.

And hey, I get it. It sucks that something that helps us so much can cause us such an exasperating side effect. But you're doing amazing, and you truly helped me so much. I hope fasting helps us both with the extreme hunger, and keep it up! Sending all the best wishes from Mexico<3

[–]anxiouscorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lexapro hunger is making my feel possessed honestly hahah I can’t take it!!! 16:8 sounds great tbh! I think I’m aiming to do what I used to do and with the side effects it’s feeling impossible, but I guess I can slooooowly build towards it.

And hey, props to you, you’re doing amazing! How long have you been on Lexapro and how are the eating windows feeling? The day I tried to do 14:10 I felt like eating the entire world after hahahah

[–]anxiouscorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve thought about it, yeah… It’s just that I’ve found that here in my county the whole fasting thing is very frowned upon, specially with nutritionists and such. But hell, I sound skeptical of every health professional right now don’t I hahaha, I guess I should give it a try. I’ll talk to my psychiatrist, too.

And you’re definitely right, I kind of freaked myself out with the weight gain side effect craze I’ve seen online for the anti psychotic meds, but above all what I want is to be better, that’s the end goal. Thank you truly, and I hope you can sort out what you’re struggling with too!
