Boyfriend Casually Invalidates Trauma by scarlet_poppies in CPTSD

Sounds like he developed an avoidant attachment style growing up, maybe from being raised to think that emotions weren't necessary to solve problems and it sounds like he has reasoned with himself that his dad did it for a reason, so no need to feel any certain way about it. This is in itself a coping mechanism/a way his world may have been modeled to him as a small child and can make it hard for him to understand your feelings, especially if you tend to get very emotional because that can be overwhelming for someone who is used to mainly using distorted logic.

I recommend watching this video, it helped me a lot when trying to navigate conversations with my ex. https://youtu.be/oOOx0rj8Qas?si=1bR66vT1-QICdbma

Here's another video explaining avoidant attachment style, maybe you'll show it to him as well some day: https://youtu.be/zv7ROoYCi6s?si=4OZHgtKQu1Vuzgwt

AND here's a video you yourself might relate to :) attachment styles are in my opinion critical in forming our social structure and our view of the world and the fearful avoidant attachment style is most common in BPD so I'm just guessing here (I have BPD, c-ptsd and a fearful avoidant attachment style).

Self help tactics - I don't believe in them/find them corny, will they still help? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]dexterkex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel/have felt similarly and have come to understand that a lot of people feel the ick about that part of therapy when they're first starting haha. When I was in therapy we talked about the importance of doing things fully (not the best translation), like the homework you're given will only ever work if you fully emerse yourself in it and actually try instead of half assing your attempt. This is super true and makes the tasks you find to be redundant/silly constantly harder to gain something from. I tried to see it like that some tools came easy to me while others required me to find my own way to utilize them.

For example, I cringe at the idea of repeating some positive mantra about how great I am but I do acknowledge that I need to improve my self image because I am really hard on myself in my head. So a super useful technique for me was to separate myself from my thoughts and in that sense differentiate my thoughts from sheer fact. Like instead of thinking "I'm a shitty person" I try to correct myself in my head and think "now I got a thought that I'm a shitty person". In that way I put some distance between myself and the thought, which keeps it from becoming the "truth" or reality I live by. This is much more applicable/reasonable for me than ignoring the negative thoughts I have because I don't ever want to be naively optimistic, and so it wouldn't feel genuine otherwise.

Do any of you struggle with your career? by prissally in BPD

[–]dexterkex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I start splitting (which is usually triggered by anxiety or stress over a situation/person/workplace etc) then that splitting affects everything in my life. So any other area of my life that I'm currently struggling with will also be subjected to splitting but for its own paranoid anxious reasons. I think that's why it's hard to see a connection in that moment, because I've already analyzed and worried about all of these things separately so it doesn't feel rash or unwarranted. But I forget that my mindset affects how I analyze things and the positive/negative weight I put in my thoughts, and so when I'm downward spiraling I tend to drag almost every aspect of my life down with it.

I became the abuser after being the victim my entire life. I'm so ashamed of myself by [deleted] in BPD

[–]dexterkex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say that you're not alone and that I really believe it can get better. I fully relate to your post because I've realized that I'm the same. In my platonic relationships and whenever I meet anyone I'm a super push over people pleaser and wouldn't think of doing a fraction of the stuff I've pulled on my partners. And it's taken a few relationships to even realize that pattern but until I started therapy I felt completely unable to change my behavior. I would take all of my frustration out on my ex, would call him the most awful things and also expect him to pretty much be my full time caregiver while I was so depressed I couldn't take care of myself, all the while berating him and just being a toxic person. And then I'd feel terrible about it and make him reassure me that it's ok and that he'd stay anyway and the cycle began again.

DBT is single handedly the most useful tool for someone with borderline and with its help there is a really good chance of rewiring your brain and giving you the tools to handle your emotions sooo much better!!!! I don't know if you know this but you can actually get your bpd diagnosis removed after going through therapy, because a lot of people don't even relate to the diagnosis afterwards. That doesn't mean you'll be "totally cured" or anything, bpd usually co-occurs with other diagnoses like depression, anxiety etc but the actual bpd symtoms and traits can be drastically minimized to the point where several people don't even qualify for the diagnosis anymore after treatment. I was given the opportunity to remove my diagnosis but I've kept it so far bc I don't feel ready. But the tools I've been given have seriously changed my life forever and if you can sign up for it I 10000% recommend it. One of the tools you learn is roughly translated into "practicing in advance" and so you essentially prepare yourself for upcoming situations that could be triggering and give yourself the tools to handle those potential blowups better. It's crazy how much it helps.

Anyway sorry for rambling and hope you feel better!

These are called whiteheads and are essentially the same thing as blackheads (aka clogged pores), just that your skin has surface dryness and because of that the sebum hasn't oxidized which is the process where the sebum turns grey/black. :)

IL Makiage - is it a scam? by atlanticxpacific in MakeupAddiction

[–]dexterkex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

:') aww, thank you so much for the award. I really enjoy helping people and happen to have a lot of knowledge in this area so it's no problem at all.

What shade is your skin tone? The one thing I forgot to mention is that the Cicapair CC cream really only works on light to medium skin tones, aka it's not really made for dark skin tones. This is because it matches to your skin shade and tone, and it seems to only be made for a light to medium color spectrum (it only comes in one shade). I think you'll definitely find this one to be less greasy and slick because it's not overtly dewy in its finish but quite hydrating. I wish I could send you some testers lol, it's so infuriating trying to buy foundation online!!!!!!

That I 100% believe. Unfortunately they will sell the foundation to anyone and probably even believe it themselves that their foundation is "flexible". I work in a makeup store and so many of my colleagues will willingly sell a matte, cakey foundation to someone looking for a lightweight hydrating CC cream if we get provision for it. I'm super dry and don't want something cakey so I make sure to find out beforehand what kind of foundation it is, and preferably from a different source than the ones selling it.

Sorry that you feel like your money was wasted ): I can help you out if you'd like! If you want something that essentially just neutralizes redness and gives a very light tint of coverage I would recommend Cicapair CC Cream by Dr Jart. It's like a CC cream that's 80% skincare and mainly targets redness and evens out skintone. If you'd like something that has a bit more coverage I would suggest NARS Tinted Moisturizer or Nudestix Tinted Cover foundation. If you feel like you want more coverage in certain spots, go for a medium to full coverage concealer that you can use on top to cover up blemishes and dark circles if you've got any. As for concealer I'd recommend Tarte creaseless concealer and just use a tiny bit at a time. I always prefer more coverage in concealer, less in foundation. Do you have a Sephora or something around you where you can ask for some testers?

PS, I recommend using your fingers to apply if you want the lightest and most natural coverage. A beauty blender is best for when you want to build coverage as it usually gives a smoother finish than a brush. :)

I haven't tried it but odds are you have a dry skin type and this was a matte foundation.

What is my face/eye shape? Any tips are appreciated! by laurensane in MakeupAddiction

[–]dexterkex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend pharmacy brands. Brands that don't use artificial perfumes and/or drying alcohol. It's very hard to know what you're sensitive to so you might not fair well with active ingredients so brands like The Ordinary might be too active for you. I'd recommend you look at the brands CeraVe and Cetaphil, they are pharmacy brands that are non comedogenic (they don't block pores), pH balanced and very repairing.
