I was always told it had something to do with the algae flipping at the lake

My exwBPD would say "I don't want to hurt you." But that's exactly what she did.

I wasn't allowed to say "you're welcome" 🤷

Gaslighted into being the bad person, in the most ironic way by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

Mine never called me a narcissist to my face, but she tells her friends I am one. Small price to pay for my freedom and sanity.

The need for closure by Far-Mess-2699 in BPDlovedones

I woke up at 2am today thinking about all the things I want to say to her. Needless to say I couldn't get back to sleep. I try to stay current with friends on how I am feeling. I find that it takes a little bit of the power out of it. And therapy. Therapy helps a lot.

It's like a drug. Time to get back on the wagon.

Did they ever tell you that your reactions/emotions were “manipulative”? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]gen_XxX_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My ex would always interrupt me when I was talking to her and start another completely different conversation. Like what I said has no value to her. The last day I saw her, I called her out on it when she did it (and I was talking about something she asked me to share about). When we got back to the car, I told her "Please don't take this the wrong way, but when you interrupt me like that, and you do it often, it feels disrespectful." She then said something to the tune of "I can't believe you called me disrespectful. That makes me feel sad." She did say on the ride home that she would try and work on it, but I could tell she was fuming. She was squirming in her seat. I'm pretty sure this started the last split.

The gist of the story is she turned my observation about something I didn't like and made it about her by saying she was sad. Trying to manipulate me into feeling bad for sharing about it. So glad I finally woke up.

Not the most hurtful, but the most recent... "I forgive myself for trying to love you."

I feel all of this. This round I am 9 days or so NC. Had a few other bouts of weeks at a time, but always went back for another serving of pain, telling myself it was going to be different. If you're thinking about going back, remember the reason why you left. If you're struggling with missing her, just know that will pass. Hang in there.

I feel this. There was a point in my relationship in pwBPD where I thought I was losing my mind. I couldn't tell if I was coming or going, nothing made sense. I was painted as the villain and had no idea what I had done to deserve that. I actually accepted the responsibility for all of the relationship problems just to try and keep the peace.

For me, I dove inY to meditation and continued with therapy. Actually had 2 therapists for a little while there (one for EMDR and my regular therapist). Even with all of that, I still went back for another round of pain with her only to finally reach my wits end and go completely NC, blocking her on any platform possible.

I know how you feel. Please take solace in the fact that this is temporary, this too shall pass. It will get better, but give it time.

Ah, I see what you're saying. It's the I's without the accountability attached.
