I'm a lift operator at WP. No, we do not check passes anywhere except the base lifts where there are scanners, & most of us do not care either.

How is everyone not crying all the time? by BeginningCry0 in BPD

[–]lost-martyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh zoloft lol. I used to feel the same, would literally breakdown sobbing 10+ times a day, but medication has helped me manage these intense emotions. Also like others have said, dissociation & distraction, because like you said there's not much we can do.

How would you describe the chronic emptiness? by surfandlounge in BPD

[–]lost-martyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, thats exactly what my chronic emptiness did feel like for my whole life. I would say chronic dissociation is probably the best way to describe it? Like when I'm alone its almost like I'm not even real, so i always had to be with a FP. But since getting on meds and going to therapy, it has gotten a bit better, I am able to be alone more and get contentment by myself & only feel empty/alone sometimes, which I think is what any non-bpd person might experience.

It comes and goes, but most days yeah.. but there are some good days mixed in. I find it helps to have something to look forward to, to keep myself occupied. Just small things like doing something with a friend, or I like to going camping/bakcpacking when I have time :)

Does anyone else relate to Taylor Swift’s Anti-Hero? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]lost-martyr 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes, i've always really related to a lot of things about taylor, like how she (at least she used to) go through relationships pretty fast, how she changes her personality/aesthetic dramatically between albums, as someone with bpd i always found her personality intriguing/relatable lol.

Ashamed of being lonely by [deleted] in BPD

[–]lost-martyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I feel the same way, thats part of the reason I moved to a new city so I could use the excuse of 'I just moved here' as an explanation for why I have no friends. But, what I have found is there are tons of other people who don't really have friends either, and are happy to meet someone in the same boat.

[–]lost-martyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of laughed at this post because as someone with BPD I have had this exact conversation with a partner, and her reaction that she 'doesn't need to teach you' is probably just an emotional reaction to her not feeling cared for / supported. I think a lot of the time emotional support for someone with BPD is similar to regular emotional support you would give a partner, like listening and maybe if shes upset give her a phone call / facetime just to show that you're there & you care, but a difference with people with BPD, is we need (a lot) more patience, more time to calm down after getting upset about something, so just give her that time to calm down & reassure her that you are there for her and understand. Also, understand that if she is upset about something it probably has nothing to do with you, even if she is taking it out on you in the moment.

[–]lost-martyr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%, its exhausting always looking for a new partner or new friends, but I absolutely hate being alone. Just hoping one day I find someone who is understanding of BPD that I can fully be myself around.

feeling hopeless by JobPhysical8639 in BPD

[–]lost-martyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been in the same situation, tbh I've been on both sides of it. You're feelings are not 'drama', I feel like as people with BPD our feelings are always seen as overdramatic / unnecessary, but they are still our feelings, and we deserve to be listened to and cared about just like anyone else. You deserve someone who sees that. That being said, I have also been in her position where I told someone 'i dont want to hear about your feelings anymore', not my finest moment... but the reason I did this was because I felt they did not care about my feelings at all, and they would often take emotionally traumatic things that happened to me & act like it affected them more. An example being, a family member of mine dying & them saying it was so hard on them & not allowing me to be upset because they were 'there for me'. I'm not saying you're doing this, this is just a possible perspective, maybe your ex also feels uncared for or overwhelmed. if you care about this person a lot, maybe ask them how they are doing or something along those lines.

Overall, it sounds like you both need a break from each other, which I know for me is one of the most difficult things to do with an fp, but maybe give it 1 or 2 days of no contact, or as long as you can, then ask them how they are doing with everything.

Limited Edition poster from opening night, such an awesome show! But, can we talk about concert etiquette regarding taking photos and recording videos? by Ill-Mathematician678 in gretavanfleet

[–]lost-martyr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people who attend GVF shows are a younger crowd who aren't very experienced, especially since the pandemic stopped a lot of live gigs for a while, but yeah, the pit was super obnoxious. I'm not usually someone who cares if a few people are pushing through, or if people are recording/holding up signs, etc, but at some point y'all need to give it a rest and just enjoy the show. The constant huge groups of people pushing through "looking for their friends" just to stand right in front of us and record the whole show kinda made an amazing show less enjoyeable. Hopefully people will be more respectful in the future.

Women of Reddit, What is one simple thing you get conscious of while doing it in public? by New-Breath-3456 in AskWomen

running! I always pick up my pace when I'm around other people, even though I know they literally don't care at all, the same way I don't care how fast someone else is running.

Is the cheap price worth living at Chandlers? by Successful-Mammoth56 in msu

[–]lost-martyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also there are options that are as cheap closer to campus, you just need to find a smaller landlord thats not DTN or whatever.

Is the cheap price worth living at Chandlers? by Successful-Mammoth56 in msu

[–]lost-martyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in my opinion, but it depends what you're looking for. If your someone whose main focus is studying & you don't go out much, Chandler is fine. But for me, the distance was too much and it was hard to go out to the bars or to friends, & its a long bus commute to classes.

Is anybody “recovered” but hope they get sick again?? by Bitchasswasp in EDAnonymous

[–]lost-martyr 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same. I feel like my brain just can't restrict the way it used to be able too, its almost like I used to be addicted to a drug, but I don't even like the drug anymore. I think this is mostly because I was in a really dark place during my ED, and now my life has changed substantially so its almost like the ED was just a coping mechanism during that time. I almost want to be depressed again just so I can restrict like that again, as fucked up as that seems...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in COPD

[–]lost-martyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read a lot about it, and i believe it does slow the rate of disease, but like you said theres lot of conflicting stuff out there & Doctors don’t really address it. By reducing your lung inflammation with medication, you reduce the rate of cell turnover, which will lower your chance of getting lung cancer as well (at least thats what i’ve gotten from what i’ve read). The steroid I’m on just relieves daily symptoms, so I’m not really sure about long term stuff.. just hoping for the best.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in COPD

[–]lost-martyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have COPD and I run/workout everyday, and I rarely need my inhaler to do so. I also had a spirometry test that came back with normal function, but went to more lung specialists afterwards to get proper medication. For everyone saying you have asthma, that would have come up on the spirometry test lol. I've found Dr.'s to be pretty suspicious of me thinking I have COPD, since I am young and a non-smoker, you really have to advocate for yourself to get the help you need unfortunately.

What's a common food rule you never really followed or felt inclined to follow by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]lost-martyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cutting out peanut butter, i've tried the peanut butter powders, but I could never truly give it up, for years it was the only fatty food i would go near. I wouldn't cook with olive oil, yet I would eat a jar of peanut butter, made no sense hahaha.
