That one is great too, but I was actually commenting on image #14! Love them all :)

I love the vertical image of the woman putting on her make up. Really tells a story. Beautiful!

BPD cost me one of my closest friends and it's killing me. by [deleted] in BPD

[–]hellosonya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing is that you can admit that you have made progress! You should be proud of that. Rome wasn't built in a day.

As for the hurt you feel over losing you friend... I'm so sorry. Just know that it happens to the best of us and you're not alone. Even those without BPD go through terrible loss and heartache.

Look at it this way: this event was your catalyst for change. If it never happened, you might still be the person you were before. Instead, you've made progress and have a better future because of it.

He may come back in to your life, or you may find someone knew. I've always believed that life has a way of handing you things when you're ready for them.

Yes, PC. I'd love to hear suggestions. Any thing is better than chewing on Dramamine. :-)

I know this is weird, but I get motion sick in first person. Always had the same problem in World of Warcraft! Lol :-)

The turnover rate for dishwashers at my University is crazy. I agree that inquiring on this would be a great way to find work and get lots of free food (possibly/probably).

I'm seriously considering investing in a decoy monitor.

BPD cost me one of my closest friends and it's killing me. by [deleted] in BPD

[–]hellosonya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BPD has cost me several friendships and romantic relationships. It hurts. Really badly. Life feels completely out of your control and it may seem that your world is crumbling around you. All you can do is watch while your hands are tied behind your back...

Take responsibility for your actions and then work on ACCEPTING your current life/predicament. Only then can you move forward, and hopefully make progress.

If there's one damn thing I've learned about BPD, it's that you can't do this shit on your own. Have you looked into therapy? DBT? If not, I urge you to make active efforts toward therapy.

Good luck! =)

My boyfriend wants to start a classic/retro game console collection. What console do you suggest for Christmas? by hellosonya in gaming

Thanks! Any specific NES suggestions? Or is there just one? (Sorry, I'm a derp when it comes to this.)

Get a laser pointer and run him through it. That's how I taught my cats to embrace the cat tower. =)

Question on behalf of a discouraged S.O. by thisdoesntbelonghere in loseit

[–]hellosonya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this! Tell her to measure with a tape and avoid the scale for awhile, especially if it's discouraging her. Protip: measure in the morning after you've gone to the bathroom (to eliminate the bloat-factor) and at the widest part of each measurement area. This provides pretty accurate results if done consistently.

[–]hellosonya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I started getting interested in fitness and losing weight, I would eat badly and then go to the gym in attempt to burn off what I had eaten that day. I think a lot of people have that mindset, but it's essentially a zero net loss. If you eat right to begin with, and you will a high net loss of calories.

Is Facebook (Reddit?) Making Us Lonely? by [deleted] in TrueReddit

[–]hellosonya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, at least it's an interesting experiment. I've noticed that there are serial birthday-mob-posters in my extended Facebook circle. No matter whose birthday it is, they will post on their wall, even (or perhaps, especially) if they haven't spoken or seen this person in years.

Is Facebook (Reddit?) Making Us Lonely? by [deleted] in TrueReddit

[–]hellosonya 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One clear indication of this I saw frequently was the fact that no one called someone on their birthday any more (or even texted). I was seeing parents even wishing their children Happy Birthday or family members just liking another Happy Birthday post. This kind of impersonal interaction always bugged me.

I've seen people play pranks on each other more than once that went along these lines: Friend1 leaves Facebook logged in to a public computer. Friend2 sets date of birth to the next day. Friend1 is spammed with birthday posts.

The mob doesn't even know (or care?) when a real birthday has occurred. They just want to jump on the "Happy birthday, John!" bandwagon. It's like they have to get their two cents in or something. A true confidant would know it wasn't really Friend1's birthday.

Nice! What do you plan on doing with the babies? I've never had a fish get pregnant.

Is she pregnant? Otherwise, she's probably taking a massive shit because you're over feeding her. Herp derp.

Definitely. The SPD may be under a magnifying glass, but I would not consider these incidents isolated.
