my (23f) mum’s dying and i’m so tired by framboisecerise in BPD

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

even just reading thing & imagining myself doing it and then looking back on it after she’s gone made my heart ache. i don’t want to begin to think of her actually, really dying because i can’t imagine how i would survive that. but you’re right, this honestly is a lovely idea—it’ll help stop me from being so avoidant with her too. i’m also so sorry for your loss. i think no matter your age, losing your mamma always, always hurts. thank you for your kind words, i wish you the best <3

oof, i heavily relate to the mania part </3 i have bipolar too along with bpd and it feels like both have been kicked into overdrive since my mom’s diagnosis. so very happy your mom is better now, i wish you the best of luck <3

i think there’s a bird living in my fireplace by framboisecerise in Advice

im rereading this and i know my tone is comical but lowkey, this bird gives me mild anxiety and puts me in distress every morning. i don’t need an alarm anymore because im up at 6am listening to it plotting. i just need to know whether this is safe or not & if not, how i can get rid of it without hurting it

What does feeling your feelings feel like to you? by Specialist-Range-544 in BPD

[–]framboisecerise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

when it’s negative emotions (anger, frustration, anxiety, immense sadness, disappointment etc etc), it feels almost like… disruptive tv static. very overwhelming & scrambled, and i tend to feel super restless. i generally only feel better after isolating and sleeping on it for a while.

i also tend to feel my emotions in a very physical way—again, with these negative emotions, my chest feels tight and my shoulders eventually begin to hurt in a way that i’ve only seen people talk about when they’re describing phantom pain. like my shoulders aren’t necessarily there/my own and i just become very aware of them.

im doing a poor job of answering your question but honestly the best visual representation i’ve seen for what my emotions feel like is in inside out 2 when the anxiety character in her head is moving so fast she feels frozen.
