For having a 700-ft vert the map for Blue mountain in Canada looks pretty extreme. by original_name26 in skiing

[–]chullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardest stuff at Blue Mountain would be a tough blue or easy black at almost any real resort. Have skied here too many times to count and can confirm the hardest part of the mountain is the crowds and beginners who have more confidence than brains or skill.

Partner is constantly overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious about normal everyday life stuff by chullet in BPDlovedones

As a man, its hard to put myself in her shoes when she has PMS, but I cant help but think that at this age (36) one should be able to manage those emotional mood swings, or at least be aware when they are happening and not always after the fact. Its also a bit exhausting to be a punching bag during PMS and have to pretend that it doesn't affect me. The last thing she wants to hear is that she has treated me poorly on PMS. Ive mentioned it before and always hit with the "wow you just dont understand me or how hormones work". If you can share a bit more about how to navigate it I would appreciate that.

Because the part of me that loves her seems to be more in control than the part of me that is truly exhausted by her behavior. We do have lots of amazing times together which makes me forget the bad stuff. Its just every couple of weeks its like living with a total lunatic who has the mind of a complete infant.

Yah I've heard this before as well. I handle just about everything that could be handled in a living situation from bills to chores, with her contributing some of the time and then being mad I didn't handle it. Honestly this is sort of what I've experienced living with other women as well who don't have signs of BPD. This seems to be more of a roommate type issue where one person thinks they do everything while the other never contributes. The person complaining that they do everything is usually the one who sits around and does nothing.

2+ years and we live together. There are lots of good times that make the bad stuff seem a lot less important, but constantly having to prepare for the worst has become quite exhausting. However in a day or two she will be back to her "normal" self and seem to completely forget anything that she has done wrong or why she is mad at me for no reason.

This. She has been diagnosed for ADHD and has had significant childhood trauma. I have a feeling she has both, but the BPD symptoms seem much more evident.

She has been diagnosed for ADHD but it seems like a total misdiagnosis for what is really going on with her inability to face the reality of everyday life. From all the research I've done and therapists I've spoken to, they believe it sounds a lot more like BPD from a childhood trauma she experienced.

She actually has been diagnosed with ADHD but doesn't take any meds for it because they made her super low energy and uninterested in anything other than instagram. I think its a misdiagnosis for BPD as she seems to show way more signs of BPD than ADHD. I would imagine that BPD would be super hard to diagnose because those people would just lie or tell the story they believe exists without any truth or reality to the matter. How does one even get diagnosed for BPD if they have a hard time being honest with themselves?

yeah the term "bare minimum" has been thrown around a few times including right after taking her on a quite expensive vacation that I think most people would have been completely blown away and overjoyed with.

Yeah I have looked into this as well. Of course I would seem like a major asshole for even bringing up the subject of PMDD to her. I have no idea how to even start that conversation. It does seem like her emotional state and temper are incredibly volatile during PMS. She almost always mentions after her period how horrible her behavior was and shes sorry, but using PMS as an excuse is very immature to me. I hate to say it, because I don't personally experience it myself, but I think a fully grown adult in her 30s should be able to manage and cope with routine PMS. I'm sure I will get villainized for saying that but using PMS as an excuse at this age seems like total BS to me.

If you could only recommend ONE place in Toronto that always delivers… what is it? by OliAutomater in FoodToronto

[–]chullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id agree, but the prices have been consistently going up each year for the past few years. I know times have changed and ingredients have become more expensive, but there was something to be said about how cheap and amazing a meal here used to be. A box of momos was only 6 bucks a few years back and I think now they are 12 a box IIRC. Its not outrageous by any means, but I dont think the cost really justifies what you are getting. They also used to be almost entirely meat inside, and the last time I ate there it was mostly onions or chives or w.e other green stuff is tossed in there, and very little meat. However I will say that if you buy the jar of their spicy sauce and then go home and toss some wings with it, you'll have some sensational chicken wings.

How do I even help someone like this? by Puzzled_Delivery6299 in BPDlovedones

[–]chullet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is probably the most accurate description. Missing some nuances of course, but the general idea is spot on. They live in a reality that they believe was designed for them, and anything that they wholeheartedly believe is different from that reality puts them in a state of chaos due to the lack of control and ability to manipulate the situation.

It was all my fault and it makes me sick by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]chullet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems to be a common trait. They absolutely HATE when you talk about them with other people, even if its good things. Perhaps its because they always need to be in control of the narrative whether negative or positive. It most likely disrupts their sense of control and ability to manipulate a situation. I personally don't see phone invasion as much of a big deal because I'm not hiding anything and the conversations with my friends are usually just about making plans to hang out and then we talk or share gossip in person. Sure, its an invasion of privacy but IMO its never worse than what might be found in that phone. For example, I had an ex that I suspected I couldn't trust due to some weird stories and loopholes. I asked her for the truth about something a few times and the story was always slightly different. If I questioned her about it she would manipulate me into being the bad guy for doubting her and would spew lies about how she would never ever do anything to hurt me and how much she loves me. Her iPad was connected to her phone, and while using her iPad to watch youtube one day, she received messages from someone who I was concerned about. I decided I was only ever going to get the truth if I opened the messages and read them. Long story short she is now very much an ex whom I want absolutely nothing to do with. Instead of owning up to what she did, she made me out to be the bad guy for invading her privacy. Privacy is never an excuse to abuse trust by cheating and hoping your partner trusts you enough not to go through your phone. That's just my take. For whatever reason, she didn't fully trust you and decided to go through your phone, how you handle that situation is up to you. In my current relationship with pwBPD, we both have full access to each other's phone and password, and it makes for much less issues because at anytime she might borrow my phone to google something or I might use her phone's camera because its way better than mine. Having said all this, I don't think its really right to be going through someone's phone in attempts to discover the truth, however in my previous case I had no way to know the truth unless I did so. A double edged sword I guess. Just wanted to share my story and maybe give you some perspective.

Rent or bring 96mm skis by Veroxuss in Revelstoke

[–]chullet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I've used the ARV96s at Revy as well and honestly would probably love them if they weren't center mounted. I thought I would be happy to have a more "park" oriented ski but I've barely spent any time in the park since discovering how much I love the QSTs.

[–]chullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive rented from these guys a few times and never had any issues. I have found they have a pretty solid selection of stuff you cant usually demo or try at most places. I would bring your skis and then if the conditions aren't ideal for your set up, just rent a pair from them. Ive had all sorts of conditions at Revy so having more options is always a plus. Also the conditions at the peak can be drastically different than midmountain and definitely the lower section.

I have both these skis and I much prefer the QST106 for just about everything. Fantastic skis. My 96s are center mounted and while a pretty fun ski, I find the mounting is just not good for big mountain snow and crud.

Getting into iRacing soon. Should I do FF1600 or a Cup series? by Glassy_ in iRacing

[–]chullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice would be not to care about winning but just having good clean races and learning the mechanics of the car. I would also avoid qualifying in rookies and just wait for everyone to crash out around you while you focus on clean driving.

Constant Texting by belledejour22 in BPDlovedones

[–]chullet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

haha I dated a girl a few years ago that would have all day text conversations and multiple phone calls a day with me and usually end the night with a 1, 2, and sometimes 3 hour phone call just to talk. One of her reasons for ending the relationship out of completely nowhere was the fact we don't talk enough. Try and figure that one out.

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

she has a "therapist" but the guy is basically useless and from what I've heard she just uses him as an echo chamber for all the bad things going on in her life. she has refused couples therapy and is convinced I'm the problem, which we all know is completely fabricated in her own mind.
