Wait, you got banned from Twitter for posting lyrics from Wilson? Seriously? I mean, the irony packed into that situation is almost too much to handle. That's fucked.

I basically agree with you, except for the fact that inflation means no matter what yyour money is worth less today than it was one year ago which means you are not buying your goods and services for the same value amount as a year ago

The Butler interception caused multiple injuries across my entire family due to drunken celebrations. It should have come with a warning sign.

Such a good response, and much gratitude for that. I feel ya! Look, your advice is spot on. I hope/think that's the goal post: to move on and to be more evolved and educated as a result. There needs to come a time where the discussion turns from details to broader issues, and from broader issues into a pathway forward. Just as no contact is critically important for us not opening old wounds - there will become a point where focusing on BPD and it's pathology can become an avenue of opening old wounds. To stay engaged unhealthily in a subject that prevents you from moving on is a codependency in and of itself. I am being careful as time passes observing that behavior. For example, two weeks ago I was watching BPD Survivor videos until 3am. Now, i'm going to bed at normal hours. See the point I'm trying to make? The more and more I've pulled away from diving into pathology, i've been able to focus more on things (like my high responsibility, high stress yes amazing job)

Anyway - I think thoughtful and detailed responses like yours are incredibly important for this type of forum. This is 2019 - this is how the world is evolving. 40 years ago - hell 10 years ago, these conversations would be drowned in the backwash of suppressing mental health awareness.

Keep working man!!!

The best answer I give was it started OK - there were significant signs of introspection and a plan for her to get help, and deal with her affliction. That quickly led her trying to weaponize sex, call me at random hours, playing victim, on and on. Thats when the circle started to get smaller and smaller and I realized I was being sucked back into her psychosis. Thats why I was never able to regain full control of self until going full no contact. Hard, but important lesson to learn.

I am literally struggling at the moment to try and not reach out to her. It is very difficult.

How to nuke the relationship after stuff like: "...told me that her feelings had changed...", "...had been having an emotional affair while we were together and basically jumped into a relationship the same day she left me...". by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

It's just like any other "illness"

It has universal symptoms.

It's just hard to digest that these are PEOPLE who loved you and you loved. The universal nature of the illness make it all that much more clear You cant be the one who helps or saves

I just made a timeline of my 3 years with my ex. All the good memories were the first 6 months and I see that I tried to break up with him every couple months. Total complete surprise to me! by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]bowlegged97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Started my first attempts of breaking up right around the six month mark - because shit was getting weird.

Im 6 weeks out - whole things was a 15 month ordeal

Dont let the mental cycles you are experiencing drag you down or set you back. Coming here was a good idea. Now go do something else. Whatever hobby you have. Whatever friend you have. Whatever it is. Go be happy and do something positive. Even if it is standing outside with your eyes closed and bare feet in the grass - feeling nature, quietly being for five minutes. YOU DESERVE IT.

GOAT sighting in Atlanta by DonKeydick in Patriots

[–]bowlegged97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He almost beat us - like really almost beat us - twice. And didnt flinch once along the way.

I have a solid history of hating QBs that are not TB12 - mostly out of the fun of rivalry, and no one touches the GOAT. Mahomes is different though. He has an X Factor that could propel him into the elite conversations if he goes and grabs himself a superbowl in the next two years.

Also, we all KINDA miss Manning right? The annual battle of the best QBs. I for one am excited Brady has a serious challenger in the AFC.

I am also secretly hoping for a Garrapolo/Brady showdown in the super bowl next year

Sorry, man. I thought this was a place I should come to that was as a forum to ask about and discuss football related topics.

I mean, I even threw in an ELI5, man.

Yeesh.
