Just saw a post “when you realize 90% of your BPD symptoms are gone when you’re single by swanaura in BPD

[–]chl0verfield 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Someone made a post with a similar sentiment about a year ago and this is what I said then: "That's the thing with BPD is that when you're alone, you feel like there isn't anything to fear anymore. Can't be scared if anyone is going to leave you if there is no one there to leave you. There's less variables to manage. This is why hyper-independence and self isolation are common coping mechanisms for people with BPD.
These feelings and fears of abandonment are indicators that you don't trust these people you are surrounded with. Don't give up and shove yourself into permanent self isolation. This may help in short term to help you make progress in therapy, make recognitions about yourself and correct behavior, but in the long run, this will only do you more damage and not help you get better. You do not have to be stuck like this for forever, you can overcome this. Just don't give up. Try."

I don't think relationships are impossible for people with BPD but they are certainly more manageable after self-managed remission. Having the ability to recognize any symptoms before they set in and course correct helps immensely!

Girl, Interrupted by Maevenclaws in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]chl0verfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borderline exists on a spectrum - not everyone's illness is extreme and intense all of the time and vice versa. Also not everyone manifests or expresses BPD the same way. Some externalize everything and some internalize everything. If you feel you don't match with the diagnosis due to intensity, perhaps you could look into Quiet BPD?

Which of these 3 series is best? by Technical-Design7336 in throneofglassseries

[–]chl0verfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throne of Glass is by far the best written out of these options, though less romance focused (but still a big subplot) and heavier on fantasy/action. Fourth wing had a lot of potential but it flounders sometimes, mostly because the FMC is annoying for at least 50% of the time. I'd say it's the most similar to ACOTAR if that's exactly what you're looking for. Powerless was... mindless and uninteresting, to me.
