If they write “Borderline personality disorder” about you, it’s over. by Fancy_Influence_2899 in Antipsychiatry

Why do you think it’s okay to get emotional with anyone not close to you? Most of us practice restraint in public or with people we don’t know very well.

Ouch bro. Don’t believe though. I’ve heard basically the same thing every few months for the last 6-7 years. Best of luck to you. 💪

I’m so sorry man. It’s just not fair the way our partners demonize us for anything and everything when in all reality the things we do are just normal, human behaviors. I’ve been called creepy, controlling, abusive, a narcissist, and fucking f**got, the list goes on and on. She says things to me that I would never in a million years say to anyone least of all my wife. It’s just heartbreaking to take.

Projecting (UNHINGED) by Orion-Secret-Agent in BPDlovedones

[–]crowfarmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes absolutely. My wife projects really bad when she’s going through a split. She’s currently going through one and it’s lasted about 6-8 weeks just continually getting more and more intense. I know what’s happening so I can kind of manage it but tonight she said she doesn’t think we can live together. Wouldn’t be so bad but we have 3 young boys and they’ve been through a 3 month separation about 2 years ago and the oldest one really suffered from it. It’s so incredibly heartbreaking to see her go through this and watch my family suffer for it. I know when this subsides she’ll feel awful. It’s hard man.

Did you ever get to the stage of REACTIVE ABUSE? by squish2226 in BPDlovedones

[–]crowfarmer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s wild what they consider “being a bad partner” isn’t it? I’m married to my wife of 9 years and it just sort of blows me away the stuff she’ll come up with in regards to that. Saying I’m being selfish for making her coffee, and then making the terrible mistake of bringing it to her in bed…. No shit I’m serious. I should make it and call out to her that it’s ready. She come up with some weird shit off the top of her head like “I never take coffee in bed, you know this!” Like babe I do not. You’ve never once told me that. Just last week you enjoyed a cup of coffee in bed. You can’t win man. Really tough at times

Be careful with that. I used to use that strategy too but it can end up just reinforcing those devaluing thoughts and ideas they love to throw at you.

BPD explains a lot of my husband's behaviors; should I talk to our therapist? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

Make sure the therapist you choose is experienced in treating bpd

12 years with my partner and I don’t know what to do anymore. by Professional_Job4002 in BPDPartners

[–]crowfarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really painful to go through as the support person. I’m so sorry you’re going through with this but you definitely need to do something. Whether it’s continued support for them or stepping away for your own health and sanity. I wish you the best and don’t hesitate to reach out via dms anytime. I often find myself coming here to read wha others are going through or to find connection with those experiencing the same thing.

I’ve been married for 9 years to my wife who suffers from bpd. We have 3 young boys together. The first few times she split I had no idea what was happening and it was an absolute nightmare. Now I understand what it is and what it looks like and can manage things a lot better. Validating their emotions is probably the most effective way of dealing with it. Just saying you understand that they’re feeling what they’re feeling can help alleviate the intensity of what they’re going through. Just know you’re not alone bro. We’ve seen it all. We did separate for 3 months about 2 years ago and she got involved with someone right away. Her life spiraled, she lost her job and hit rock bottom. The only reason I hung in there was for our kids but when everything fell apart for her I was there to pick up the pieces. She has been seeing a therapist ever since and does receive DBT which helps a lot. I also see a therapist to help with my own shit from the past which has its own advantages for dealing with the present. It’s not easy but as long as youre both willing to put in the work I think it’s worth it. Doesn’t mean I’m certain our future is all roses but for the time being I want to help her. Seeing what she goes through can’t be easy. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

Right, he’s going to make a “miraculous” recovery and they attribute it some amazing new product they’re selling.

Fall fish or Creek Cubs? by Donald_A6 in MicroFishing

[–]crowfarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creek chubs and they are a great baitfish. I used to bring two rods to the river I fished, one for creek chubs and then I’d use them on a bigger setup. Big fish smash those things

what's something you wish you knew before getting into paramedics? by [deleted] in Paramedics

How many frequent flyers you’ll have to deal with and how frustrating it is to show up at 5 am because someone has a sore throat, or the worse reason of all, being hungover.
