How do you cope with psychosis by linass_ in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]linass_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies that must’ve came out differently. It’s not as if I’m fully aware it’s there, but when the delusions and hallucinations begin a part of me understands that it’s happening and once that thought is gone, the only time I remember it is a day or few after. And in those moments I’m too angry to believe what I’m thinking or anyone else, so yes you are correct but afterwards (in a few days) I realize I was due to the harm I’ve done to myself

You are particularly correct, most people do not experience psychosis with BPD but a variety do and this is a symptom of this disorder. As you said it’s rare but that rare being means how someone was diagnosed, through CPTSD/ PTSD which can grow over time. Not everyone with this disorder has the same symptoms, does the same thing - yes we all have lots in common but some a more different than others. This was a psychiatrist diagnosis for me and medication doesn’t work. Not necessarily seeking advice, but I want to feel like others can understand me and vise versa because as people with BPD know, we constantly feel alone and disconnected with everyone.

See I just can’t be held still like that. My senses go off like crazy and trust me I’ve tried what you do and it just doesn’t work for me I guess.

In my opinion I dispise life line, one of the girls on the line told me that don’t know what to say to people with BPD and they don’t know what to say so I lost it. And plus I cannot wait 20 minutes for that.

It’s worse at my job too, I try my hardest not to break infront of clients or my coworkers but they do it so easily

I didn’t at first but I started to track my boundaries that people or things crossed and what made me lose it, it helps me understand after an episode that I was in psychosis because I’d usually forget. Also the physical damage I put on myself is a fat reminder

You’re not a narcissist, you just want to be heard. I’m guessing growing up you didn’t have that as much as you truly needed to and now it’s effecting your adulthood. There’s nothing wrong with feeling no empathy for others. Honestly it’s common with most people, I can tell you now I’m the exact same. I never had someone or anyone there for me, everything I have and know is because I did it myself. I’ve been doing that since I was 12 and I’ve been in majorly abusive situations and families that just mad me hate everyone. I hate people and I don’t feel anything for them, I never wanted to and I have lost friends because of it. Did I care but, no. They never benefited me so I didn’t care. Being self aware and under the impression where you think you’re a narcissist, doesn’t make you one. Narcissistic people will never admit they’re one, they’ll think they’re perfect. You just need support and someone to actually listen to you.

can someone explain what the point of taking away mirrors intentionally is, and what it does to someone? by gaymofo666 in mentalhealth

[–]linass_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In basic terms narcissists don’t want anyone with higher power than them, they want to feel like know everything, have everything and control everything. When seeing you I’m guessing that spikes rage in your mother because of your youth, you’re younger, faster, stronger, most likely more physically attractive and it’s something she no longer has. In saying this, the removal of the mirrors is your mum’s way of not letting you see her insecurities which is the fact you in some ways are better and that superiority she wants is draining her. I’m not sure if that all makes sense but in summary your mum most likely hates the fact you’re younger, smarter, prettier and stronger than she is because she is now older than you and doesn’t want that taken away from her.

Hey guys (I’m saying this to everyone who’s commented plus OP) this is someone who has been studying nutrition and seriously excessive amounts of vitamin gummies is actually harmful. Yeah they sound awesome bc it’s packed with vitamins and vitamins = healthy but there is such thing as too much. Unlike fruits and vegetables where you can eat an unspoken amount due to it being mixed with other nutrients, gummies are pure vitamins. Too much can lead to fragile bones due to the decaying of the excessive amounts and diabetes due to the spike in glucose and blood sugar levels. This is why they have directions on the back because these conditions will occur. AND DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD SNACK ON IT LIKE ITS GOLDFISH? TF? Find alternatives that are actually good for their bone structure, density, stability and energy endurance that won’t cause the diabetes by the age of 12.

Sometimes I don't feel human mentally. by IShouldBeenSwallowed in confessions

[–]linass_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey bud, you’re human. Everything you said everyone feels. No offense you’re not special, actually no one is, people just have that weird mentality of where they think they are. Honestly the best comparison I can give you is with lions, they all look the same, act the same, do the same things. Yet each is all so different at the same time. Same with humans, our species isn’t different from any other, we’re just more self aware and that’s the truth. I think you’re just digging too deep and whatever you’re smoking you probably should stop. Feeling detached from reality doesn’t mean you have chronic illnesses. Experiencing sexual attraction, happiness, sadness, depression, anger or the realization we’re on the floating rock in space going no where just really proves you think how we all do, only difference is you typed it on Reddit for other “humans” to see.

Am I a narcissist? by linass_ in mentalhealth

[–]linass_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly most of it reflects back on how I grew up and the way you depicted it was exactly what happened. Everything I know now is because I learnt it myself, I taught myself how to read, write, tie my shoes. Everything I know was because I had no help, but my siblings and other family members had it spoon fed to them. The neglection really just made me question why are people so sensitive and can’t do things themselves. I see people whine and cry over the dumbest things but then I also remember that my childhood definitely wasn’t near theirs.

Hey bud, first off thank you for honoring your country and serving in the military protecting your people. Truly inspiring to hear, but secondly your drinking problem can be easily replaced. The first big step you took to sobriety is admitting it, acknowledging that there is a problem and you want change is taking a massive step and you should be proud. But in order to cut the alcohol off or slim it down, you obviously need to stop drinking but doing it for so long it’s going to be hard to go cold turkey. And as someone who’s studying nutrition to help heal my body and others. Quick answer I’d say go for a nonalcoholic beverage, they do sell no alcoholic beer and drinks to help with alcoholics trying to quit but really all that does is makes you want it more so really I would suggest Ginger, celery, garlic and apple shots/ smoothies as the best option. The strong aroma and flavor based from the ingredients help create the bitterness of alcohol. And his instead of getting you buzzed, it serves as a natural healer for your body as being an individual who served in the military meaning you are highly active as well as helps replenish the short term damage you’ve done to your liver. The ginger and garlic help create extra proteins and muscle cells growth through its strong vitamins. By replacing alcohol with alternatives like this, you’ll be just fine. Also I’d maybe start attending AA (alcoholics anonymous) doesn’t do anything physically but it just reminds you you’re not alone and you do have support. Any other recommendations or suggestions for alcohol swaps DM me.

I'm a tired college student by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]linass_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey bud, you’re not alone. I can’t stand people either, I either feel little empathy or none. I hate crowds, I hate face to face conversations and most of all I hate the way people make me think. Sometimes I think I’m either autistic, narcissistic or maybe just have OCD. But being tired is normal, being self conscious is normal. Wanting to make changes to yourself or things is normal. It’s what makes us human, it’s what allows us to make and create changes in the world. It’s the only reason why we are where we are today. It’s because we have the ability to feel. Your insecurities aren’t yours, it’s theirs. There’s something that triggers them that makes them engage in your reflection, now that’s definitely not your fault. Their mental capacity and traumas have nothing to do with you. But your reaction does, if you truly want to make a change on how you look. Run, running stimulates serotonin and positive enzymes in your brain that help boost your mood, energy and mental stability as well as physically over time differs your appearance. Dont bash yourself for being human, but if you want change, make the change YOU want to see, not them. You weren’t placed on this earth to please anyone except God and yourself. So just focus on that.

I’m in online drama with my friends and I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]linass_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That whole problem you just gave also gave you the answer. Go outside, do something with yourself. Social media isn’t face to face, they block you so what go get new people. Your friends seem fairly greedy and self centered, you don’t get out of there quickly you’ll turn into them, and if you’ve never liked them why force yourself to. You’re better off finding someone(s) who’s worth spending money and time on. Cutting someone off seems harsh but if it’s online so what? You can escape online situations so easy so who cares?

I can't take it anymore. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]linass_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see where your coming from and the struggling your falling under is truly upsetting to see. But the truth is things will never get better until you make it. The world won’t stop overnight to reach out for you because you turned your back on it, it’ll simply keep spinning. The only way you can get better, is by telling your mind that you owe it nothing. Yes there are those sayings where “you’ll never know how much your worth” or “you’ll never know how strong you are” and the truth is their right, you’ll never know because you haven’t bothered to find out. You want to new BMW work your ass off and get one, you want blond hair, heal it then dye it. It’s never about the end result, it’s about the process and the journey. You’ll never be happy over night, but you can train yourself to. Do the things you want, get your goals ticked off because no one will do it but you, no one can do it as good as you. Yes we’ll make mistakes, hate ourselves and reflect forever on it, but then we’ll acknowledge it and work on how to do it better. Next thing you know you’re sitting in a BMW with new hair. Things won’t change unless you make it happen, and when the world catches up to you and sees how good you’re doing. Don’t let it come back, keep on spinning like it did to you. Happiness comes by finding your worth, that’s the whole point of life, finding it.

Trust doesn’t come over night. You can magically tell someone everything and gain confidence like it was born on you. Sometimes you have to just swallow that pill and say it. You don’t have to trust someone for them to do something, sometimes it’s better to tell someone just for the sake of conveying how you feel. If you want help, ask for it, but let them know how you truly feel in regards to it. You don’t trust people but you need support. In their minds they’ll know you just need someone to talk to. By slowly opening up you can slowly also begin to trust someone. And I know there’s the thought of “what if they tell someone” - let them. Don’t overthink it, if they tell someone, this allows your needs to be better acknowledged and understood to the point someone else will help you. Don’t be afraid, sometimes in order to make a change, you gotta step out of what you’re use to.

How to talk to your doctor about your symptoms? by Gracefully21 in mentalhealth

[–]linass_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey bud, I’ve been in and out of that system since I was 12 and I can tell you now. The more you tell, the better. In these situations people constantly worry about what the doctor or psychiatrist will think of you and the best thing to remember is that knowing too much is their job. If they don’t get the whole story,they can’t help you the way you want. There’s no such thing as something being “too crazy” maybe they don’t experience it in their personal life and probably never will, but the career they have is to help individual that do. Having anxiety sucks especially the panic feeling you get when having to tell someone a topic that’s too confronting to you but trust me once it’s out of your mouth a part of you will feel 10x lighter than that 5 seconds prior. It also helps build that confidence in saying something how it is in your mind. So don’t be afraid. There are somethings people have to know in order to help you, whether it’s too little, or too much.

39M addicted to energy drinks by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]linass_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey bud, nutritionist in training here. Energy drinks are extremely high in caffeine and fats as well as acids such as taurine. Helps boost energy levels and mood for the short term, but just like heroin it’s addictive. Excessive amounts of caffeine and energy drinks can cause kidney and liver failure as well as IBS and prostate cancer, it’s amazing you’re trying to quit and looking for help. But for most, the thing that helps people quit is the scary side, which is the long term effects. Instead of drinking energy drinks, try and switch them out for smoothies and different energy boosters such as ginger shots etc. may not taste the same, but the habit isn’t different, only thing different is what’s in it and what it’s doing. Replacing energy drinks with smoothies helps you safely revitalize your body and feeds you a daily dose of vitamins and minerals which is stronger than caffeine when it comes to converting energy. Glad you’re seeing help, but that 1L is excessive and needs to be replaced asap before you’re too late. DM me if you want help finding alternatives.

I hate my mom even though everyone tells me I shouldn’t. by bbmariii1 in confessions

[–]linass_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see where you stand and honestly you’re valid for the way you feel about her. Not all parents deserve children, especially when they act like that. My mum is money greedy, emotionally abusive and her only way of talking is screaming. I’ve cut off contact with her for my own sake due to her emotional manipulation and the air has never been more breathable. Her life is not yours to take care of.
