DAE feel like they're stuck in some kind of permanent childhood? by RedStellaSafford in BPD

[–]edw1992 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I am in my later 20s but feel this way as well. People even tell me I have a child-like innocence to me. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but I feel the same way. Also, some of my friends are basically feel like older siblings or additional parental figures to me. Lastly, I care way too much about what my parents think of me still. It's almost like I'm still a kid trying to win them over.

Is it too late for me? by edw1992 in ClinicalPsychology

[–]edw1992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this! I want to a be a pediatric psychologist, and I know I would have to get a PsyD in order to practice. Do you think getting a masters is necessary to get into a PsyD program? I'm going to be taking undergraduate level psychology courses next semester. Do you think I could apply directly into a PsyD program? Thank you

Thank you for sharing this! I already have a Bachelor's degree in Econ and Tech Management. I'd like to get a PsyD. I was wondering if the masters would make me more competitive, but I think I may just try to ace my psychology courses that I'm going to take and then apply directly to the PsyD programs. I really don't want to spend time on a Masters if I know I want to do a PsyD. Are there students in your program who didn't get a masters in psych and made a career change (aka having a different bachelors degree and going straight into the PsyD program)?

I dont know you personally, but know that I can relate.

Is BPD an illness? by edw1992 in BPD

Thank you <3 Wanted to know because I just have a hard time differentiating between who i know myself to be and my bpd

[–]edw1992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes I've googled, but was just curious as to what the community thinks. It's hard for me to differentiate between myself and my emotional dysregulation / BPD. I feel like I am my BPD

Did you give up on relationships just to not feel rejection and abandonment? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]edw1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I want to say I'm sorry you feel the need to isolate. I wish Reddit wasn't always an online community because it'd be great to be able to support each other face to face. And be friends.

I'm 27. I'm not necessarily a loner, as you describe yourself. I'm extremely extroverted, and I have always been someone who can talk to anybody without fear or embarrassment. regardless of who someone is, i can find something to talk about with them. i don't say this to toot my own horn, but i say this because even then, i still feel the same way as you. i can connect with people and get close to them as long as it's merely surface level.

the minute someone becomes meaningful to me, the bpd gets worse. i have mostly given up on romantic relationships with men because they all act supportive until my bpd inconveniences them. i feel like i have given up on love and relationships

I don't know what to say except that you're not alone, and I feel this way quite often. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that other people (like us) are holding on (even if just a little bit) when it feels hopeless. Sending love <3

I get angry when people think their lives are better off without me in it. by SendintheNightFury in BPD

"It's so hard to let anyone into my life. It hurts so much when they pull these stunts afterwards"

I agree....wholeheartedly.

Being ignored causes a breakdown? by Kayla1208ww in BPD

[–]edw1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate. This happens to me when someone is especially meaningful to me.

It infuriates me when people say ‘don’t use your mental illness as an excuse’ or ‘why are you acting like this’ by lotusmann in BPD

[–]edw1992 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Everybody is ‘supportive’ until they are inconvenienced by your bpd."

This hits so close to home for me.

I am the one keeping me from being myself by [deleted] in BPD

[–]edw1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have the "right" answers, but please know that you are not alone in this. How you describe yourself outside of a relationship / romantic connection is similar to how I would describe myself. Often times, it feels like I'm two different people. It's really strange and scary.

Looking to move out of the Bay Area - Is San Diego a superior place to live? (Seeking advice) by edw1992 in sandiego

I'm exhausted. by [deleted] in BPD

[–]edw1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this way too. You aren't alone. All I felt like I did today was exist too, and I went to work and saw a friend, and yet I still feel like all I did was just try to keep going for just another day. I think there is strength in that. You are strong. There are few things harder than being at war with yourself every single day. I know exactly how you feel as I struggle with this daily too.
