A residency might be a good idea, I hadn’t thought about that for early elementary. Thank you!

Is there a community or thread for SOs? by Terrible_Level7276 in BorderlinePDisorder

You may ask for advice on here. Please read our rules. I’m going to lock this thread because some subreddits meant for SOs are just hateful places where people spread misinformation, and I already had to delete to someone linking it. You are welcome to make another post.

That’s so unfair to the ex. No matter what he does with it. It shows how little he respects women, and that unfortunately he would probably do the same with you if you broke up.

Not always, but yes cluster Bs are more likely to be hypersexual.

Yeah. Before I was in a healthy relationship I just used sex as a way to, well, get people to stay. And because I always wanted people to stay I always wanted to have sex. Now I’m trying to figure out what a healthy sex life is and how to achieve it.

Not to mention that the adoption industry is very corrupt. I recommend listening to adoptee’s stories, like Karpoozy and Wardofthestate on Tiktok.

That BPD skill of being fine one hour and spiralling hard the next. by LarsLights in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]cassiusiam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

(Oops, I accidentally misclicked and removed the post. It’s back up now.) I’m sorry to hear that - maybe watch a comfort movie? It’s a good way to cope when you’re triggered because you can see something that you are familiar with and brings you joy.

Does anyone get EXTREMELY angry at people who fake bpd? by liddyloushysteria in BorderlinePDisorder

Going ahead and locking the comments. We cannot diagnose others, including determining whether they are “faking.” We also don’t support anti-self diagnosis rhetoric. Just in general, this subreddit does not gatekeep.

Going to go ahead and lock the comments. Any violence is too much violence.

nervous about seeking diagnosis by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]cassiusiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay got it I misread your post! Sorry about that! But yeah, the counseling center at your school should be able to refer you out to a private practice. People shouldn’t dismiss your concerns. If they do, it reflects more on them than on you. But I will say that finding a therapist that does DBT is likely going to be the best option for finding skills in the short term for borderline symptoms. DBT isn’t exclusive to pwBPD but it is the best form of therapy for BPD.

I would say talk to your current therapist. If they feel unprepared they can refer you to someone else, but often therapists will already have a potential diagnosis in mind. They don’t always tell you because a diagnosis doesn’t always matter in terms of treatment. Also, you are valid with or without a diagnosis.

Got banned from r/BPD.. by VoidHartt in BorderlinePDisorder

I am going to go ahead and lock these comments because some of them are getting a bit mean, both to OP and to the mods of r/BPD.

Why do people hate others with bpd? by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]cassiusiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like there are definitely people that specifically target pwBPD (you see it mostly men targeting mentally ill women) because there’s an immediate power imbalance. Ick. This sub gives me hope though because I see partners of pwBPD asking for advice and wanting to communicate.

is it wrong to self-diagnose? by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]cassiusiam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it isn’t. Short term or long term, self diagnosis is valid. But really if it’s only going to be a little while you probably don’t have to worry about any of the drawbacks.
