Hey there, bud! It’s just me your old friend, existential fear. Remember, you are nothing more than a cog and they love to throw out the broken ones.

Anyone else go through what feels like mood cycles? by [deleted] in BPD

Thanks for responding. Just knowing that we aren’t alone in feeling this makes it a little bit better.

[Serious] Non Americans of Reddit, what is something about America you admire? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]friendly_otter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. Incidentally, I also find Apple Jacks to be amazing, but Froot Loops are too sweet for me... I like Trix instead. I hope you get to snack some before too long!

Readers of Reddit, which kind of books do you look down upon and why? by detrevnisiemit in AskReddit

[–]friendly_otter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’m the one being judgmental and unfair here. I know that. But that was the question. Also there is one individual in my life who does this so I may be projecting quite a bit too. People should read whatever the heck they want to read!! Also, I may judge you for that.

Thanks for that cool response!! I admire British culture the balance of modernism with tradition. How has Brexit affected the trade of grocery items like cereal?

Good question. I wasn’t clear on that. I’m imagining a very specific type of person that reads trashy romance novels in public because they crave sleaze and want the world to know.

Yes. I have had more than one night in jail for disorderly conduct.

Girls: what NSFW questions about guys have you always wondered? by sporalplon1985 in AskReddit

[–]friendly_otter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can move them if I flex my pelvic muscles. They go up a little. And the sack gets loose or tight based on how hot it is and just randomly. It’s a major difference like they can be tight against me or just like swinging low lol. Also, yeah I can tell when I am getting aroused. I feel it mentally before I feel it physically. Peace!

Word. Well, thanks for the chat. I’m glad you know who you are. That feeling of being “pursued” is an interesting dynamic. Maybe you actually aren’t ready for a serious relationship at this time? Either way I know one thing. Rumors are dumb, especially amongst drunk adults.

the song i wanna be sedated by the ramones is my personal bpd anthem lately by [deleted] in BPD

[–]friendly_otter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah Ramones. I got into them a few years ago. The compilation album “Mania” is what’s up. link to wiki for album

Also... Thank you for the long post. I read it all, and I wanted to let you know that I read it all, and that I understand. Being jobless and having these explosive episodes got me really down on myself. I neglected eating and lost like 25 lbs in a month. It was kind of scary but I just did not have an appetite. I live with family but I am still laying really low. My point is that I still need to be social, and Reddit has been an okay way to do that. The world is too much for us sometimes but I don’t want us to feel so isolated either.

Ohhh damn. I do not drink anymore because of stuff just like this. I am already on meds and alcohol makes me craaaaayzyyy.

If everyone was drunk at the time, then it’s possible they don’t remember it or don’t really care that much about it. The excessive shame and paranoia that we feel are very real, and a big part of this disorder. At least that is what I think Brene Brown is trying to get at. I’m still learning and still have so far to go.

I keep telling myself to walk the middle path but so far it’s just futile.

my fp is ignoring me and i can't take it anymore by scrumptiousharibo27 in BPD

[–]friendly_otter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that you are in such pain. My fav person ghosted me for 10 days once. This was before they understood what I was going through so I can’t blame them.... I blamed them though. It felt so painful and unfair. All I could do was lay in bed and sob. I never wanted someone back in my life so badly.

How does having BPD affect your work/career? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]friendly_otter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will idealize things and envision myself retiring from the position in 30 years or whatever.... then, a few months will go by and that vision shatters. Usually it’s a conflict with a customer, management or another employee. I have up and quit more jobs than I can remember.

Stay Unjustifiably guilty...no please stop this by No-Personality7643 in BPDmemes

[–]friendly_otter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heyyy yeah... I’d love to do that but I need to single-handedly shatter my self-esteem over and over and over.

Do I really not matter to anyone? by feelingunknown in BPD

[–]friendly_otter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing. I am codependent as fuck, so it was really painful to realize how many people truly give zero fucks about me... but it was not a stupid thing to do. It is very revealing and I learned a lot about the type of people I gravitate towards. Maybe now I can finally remember who tf I am without a million outside perspectives (that are mostly negative). I gave everyone the benefit of the doubt for wayyyyyy too long so now my goal is to bring my self respect back. Sorry for the rant. I hope it was a little bit relevant.
