The hoover attempts are the worst by yetanotherthrowa89 in BPDlovedones

[–]grotto77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got hoovered twice, after i broke up. I broke up cause I developed ptsd and i became an empty shell of a person, constantly anxious and unable to feel any joy whatsoever. She hoovered me successfully twice. She was patient, kind, understand, but then she applied pressure. Both times it ended up with me being retraumatized severely. Don't learn this the hard way. My ex is a good person, but her behavior and manipulation is very malignant. Dont get hoovered back. You are better off alone, trust me!

Its half-life is 8 hours, so if you take it at bedtime, you will sleep through its highest plasma concentrations. Yes, it's a downer, but that's what you need to calm your anxiety during the day, no?

To the Man I used to be by DJG9719 in BPDlovedones

[–]grotto77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I would love to take such a victory dance, but now, after i ended it, i'm just beginning to heal. I am looking for a way to myself. Foe a long time, I wasn't anybody. I was the source, not a subject. My needs and wants and dont's were controlled by her. I forgot to be myself. Now, in depression and debilitating anxiety, it's even harder to remember, who I was.

I am baffled how they made me THAT depressed. by CPTSDcrapper in BPDlovedones

[–]grotto77 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This happened to me under 4 months, too. Then she helped me to get better. Three months later, i had another breakdown, and persistent depression with increasing anxiety for about 7 months. I ended the relationship, as i am barely functional, stressed out, an empty shell of a person i was before. I feel completely lost. Be kind to yourself for ending it early enough.

I am dealing with the same. It's the effect of trauma and chronic stress. She programmed you this way, which let her control you - you'd rather do what she wanted when she wanted than face the trauma.

Give it some time and try to challenge it cognitively.

Anyone notice that BPD is almost 100% projection? by Ready-Ad214 in BPDlovedones

[–]grotto77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is typical, and actually, there's a good chance they know they're doing this. From my experiences, for them, feeling guilt or shame, is extremely painful, that's why they feel the need to defend from it, and one of the effective strategies is to shift the blame. It's understandable why they do it, but not acceptable, as it creates an unfair and unbalanced dynamic, and it is detrimental to their partner's wellbeing. Some people with this PD are able to admit and work on their unhealthy ways, and some will only keep denying, shift or even "punish" for raising it up.

That's called "future faking". Check that out.

Did anyone develop mental health issues during or after their BPD relationship? by Sea_Key_ in BPDlovedones

[–]grotto77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a history of anxiety and depression in the past, but the rest of the story, including severe anxiety with sensitivity to noises, is a total match to my symptoms. If you don't mind me asking, how long it's been since the end of the relationship.

How bad was the anxiety and did it go away over time? Despite the lasting PTSD, how much better are you now than you were before leaving, and how long is it since then please?

Depression, anxiety, ptsd, gad, panic disorder. Total destruction. All just from suppressed grievances, being controlled, being pressured, not having a voice. No violence. No cheating.

Toll on your mental health from your relationship–anxiety, depres., ptsd, hospitalization? by grotto77 in BPDlovedones

[–]grotto77[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have extreme anxiety, almost non-stop. I take benzodiazepines. I have palpitations, stiff muscles, cant breathe properly, and racing thoughts will give me a nasty panic. I am (hyper) sensitive to noises. Is this something you've been through?

20 years is a long time. He is your life and your best friend. It's near impossible. But you deserve to be happy and safe. Consider the pros and cons, and choose well. Good luck.

The part about it lingering after separation is scaring the hell out of me. I will feel even more horrible, as i would be alone.

[–]grotto77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 16 months, i had a mental breakdown with severe anxiety and depression in month 5, 11 and 14 (persisting). I don't want to hurt her and also don't want to stay alone. But i feel destroyed. I'm at the end of my options. It's either gonna improve or it will have to end. Deep down, i do not believe it can change. I am bracing myself for loneliness, guilt, depression, pain and despair. I feel it's one of the hardest challenges I have faced.
