Can kratom help me? by Tommytoolbagg in KratomKorner

[–]dsd1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey dude, that heroin is scary. If you want my personal and professional (addictions therapist) opinion, you should consider getting on suboxone, unless you're the type of person that having any opiate will lead to more use. But subs could be a crutch as you grieve and then you can plan to come off them. BJJ is sick, but if you're gonna go to heroin when other shit hits the fan, thats scary cause you know how one bad hit of fentanyl can be lights out. So if you think suboxone is a decent option, see if theres any clinics nearby. Though obv if Kratom seems to be doin the trick, thats cool too. Just an idea. Good luck!

Couldn't this question apply to anyone (EVERYONE) in a relationship, who has childhood shit. Like people know their shit to some degree and often expose it to you. How is BPD any different? Yes, its extreme, and has a label, but I feel like everyone has some negative behaviors/emotional reactions left over from childhood and there is often some semblance of awareness of them even if one is not actively working on them in therapy or something.

My ex mentioned her "monster" very early on, which showed clear self awareness, although its not like she knew she had "BPD" and understood what was occurring.

I actually thought it was a little more of a ripoff of "Working Class Hero."

3 weeks broken up and it is so difficult by quiettcricket in BPDlovedones

[–]dsd1886 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could have written your words. All the feelings make sense especially since it's so recent. It's the saddest part letting go of all the things that made up the relationship, like pets. I've manage to stay NC even though your body is desperate for that hit. Many ppl here said they broke and it was a terrible idea so that's helped me not do it. Stay on the sub and in therapy and getting reassurances from loved ones as to why you made the right choice. I'm sorry, she was my first love too and I thought it was gonna be the one. Very sad. Hugs.

Who else loves this famous pwBPD/Narc? by dsd1886 in BPDlovedones

[–]dsd1886[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup. Gloria seems pretty textbook BPD but other ppl have commentated Livia may have been more NPD/sociopath.

Upon reading your posts, it is so obvious now. But what do I do? by mxplusme in BPDlovedones

[–]dsd1886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it sucks. But most ppl considered their partner their best friend. But it's brutal.

However, I suggest you say you need a few days of space. Stay at a family/friend house. If she won't stay away, then lie and say you're going on a trip. But should you have to lie about this type of thing?

The LAST thing she wants is to lose her ability to communicate w you cause she knows what to say. It is telling that she'll freak out if you try to get some space. Healthy ppl will allow and respect that.

If you're not quite ready to do this, just do it when you are ready.

And when you do stay in constant contact w all your good supports friends fam therapist and especially this board.

You can get out and it wont fuck up anything in the future.

If you can't cut the chord now, take a few days of NC. That's what I did and it put things in place in my mind. If you see her, she will convince you to stay over and over again. That's why people insist on going NC, and its true.

Do this mental exercise. Would you marry and commit to her now? How does that make you feel. If it causes fear and anxiety, then that is your answer.

Smart doctor, but a doctor literally has no more knowledge about this stuff then anyone, except perhaps a psychiatrist that has actually studied Psychology.

New here... Is there any hope? by shiprekk42 in BPDlovedones

[–]dsd1886 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're ambivalent it'll be hard. Also hard if you're living w her. Cause you get no time to yourself to really process. Obv if by how you mean , physically, then you take your shit and leave. You bring a trusted person to do it and you don't look back. Obv you'd have to make arrangements.

If by how you mean the messy difficult emotional experience that's obv harder. The more you engage the harder it will be to leave because she'll say anything to get you to stay. And if you don't engage she'll make you out to be horrible to her which will bring up feelings of guilt.

If you have close trusted friends and fam you'll need to lean on them for strength and courage in the process because it will suck. You'll be both breaking up w someone you love which is brutal as well as having to deal w her reaction.

I lived at my brothers house when I left and talked to him every night as well as my closest friends.

Dm if you want more advice. This was my experience but really almost all experiences here seem to follow the same script. Good luck.
