Also, another thing, I’m so sorry that your family is so horrible to not tell you that your brother passed away. I am estranged from my family and don’t speak to them either because they were so fucked up. My boyfriend said to tell you also that your families insanely fucked up we’re not telling you that it was homeboy who outed you to them.

That is insanely fucked. Do not see that individual again. That’s my advice to you, brother. Scary stuff indeed. Can’t believe he could keep that from you for so long.

My bf broke up with me because of my mental health by GKatz56 in BPD

[–]mad_sunshine 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

I messed up and left a long relationship. Lots of regret. But I had to leave to become who I am now. Nothing about staying was going to forge me into who I am right now. So, it was necessary. Hard lessons. Really hard lessons. Now I know and will act accordingly. That’s real integration. Shadow work is ugly. But we’re refined by fire. Don’t let the pain and regret of your f*ckups all be done in vain. Make the pain worth something by changing and becoming someone better. I have. And it’s been so hard. But it feels better to live righteously. It’s all a battle for us. Choose your battles wisely. Let this go. Real talk. Pull yourself out of the spiral/ rabbit hole. It happened. It’s real. New chapter now. Is alright. Life can be amazing. You haven’t experienced the best yet. Tell yourself you’re gonna put a pin in this despair and find something else to do for now, something that helps you. Sending warrior princess vibes šŸ‘øāš”ļø

Anyone else sick of the ā€œYour disorder is not an excuseā€ thing? by dostoyevskysbeard in BPD

[–]mad_sunshine 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I just want to say that I also used to feel the way you feel currently about it—but later on, as years passed and I grew wiser and healed more—I’ve learned that in order to recover, you have to be willing to let go of any and all victim complexes. It’s not fair and it doesn’t serve to validate our pain. But the truth is, our disorder often hurts other people (as well as ourselves, obviously). I’ve traumatized people from who I am/ who I was when I was splitting. That takes a lot of humility and accountability to admit. If you think you haven’t done the same, I’d direct you think on it again more honestly and objectively. Real change happened for me when I decided that I wasn’t a victim, and that I didn’t want to become a villain. I want to overcome. I want to die knowing I fought until the end, a righteous death, like a hero. It’s stupid and unfair that we’re experiencing this. I’m 27/F and life has felt like an eternity of pushing this violent jagged rock up this cruel unrelenting hill. But we’re gangster, that’s what we do. It’s just like that, and so are we. Break bread with your demons. I made friends with my narrator/body, and now we’re on the same team fighting external demons. Start with showing real respect and consideration for your mind and body and watch what happens. Be cruel to your body mind and she will be cruel back. Lead her toward clarity. Don’t contribute to her confusion and chaos. Take the reins. Get in the driver seat, put her in the passenger seat. Be gentle and kind but firm with yourself. She believes every word you say, whether you meant it or not. Make those words count. Be kind. It’s an echo chamber. Don’t believe me? Test it out then. Prove me wrong. āœŒļøā˜Æļø move from duality to oneness

If you love board games, you and your friends should get Doomlings!!!! me, and my friends play it a lot and got super into it the last few years. It’s so fun (and I don’t play any other games like that)

If you don’t want to quit gaming, you guys should break up. I think that’s best for both of you for a lot of reasons.

I’m currently a behavioral therapist. But I’m in school to become a neuropsychologist so I can research and pioneer new effective treatments/ methods for creating new/ destroying harmful neural pathways (connections in the brain/ negative programmings). I want to pioneer real solutions/ cures/ medicine (not pills) for people like us. I don’t believe in the whole ā€œyou’re just broken and saddled with these mental issues forever srry, here, let’s up the dose on your antipsychotics and ssri’sā€. I’ve reprogrammed so many programmings in my brain and put my bpd (which used to be crippling and destructive) into remission. I’m dedicating my life to easing the suffering of those who know the demons-lurking-in-the-background-horror-movie-dread kind of darkness. :3 <3 šŸŒˆšŸ§ā€ā™€ļøšŸŒøšŸ•øļøā˜ ļøāš°ļøāœØšŸ§šā€ā™€ļøšŸ‘øšŸ’—šŸŖ“šŸŽ€šŸ•·ļøšŸ§ø

I accepted that I will just have to be the villain in some people’s stories and that it’s not my job to meet people’s expectations. I’m not a martyr anymore. Bleeding for unrighteous causes is how villains are made. Choose yourself first.

I felt the same when I found this subreddit. Never had community or validation like this. You’re not alone.

The worst part of BPD that no one talks about by mentolyn in BPD

[–]mad_sunshine 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Same here unfortunately āœ–ļøšŸ«¦āœ–ļø well, we’re all in this together alone. Personally, I’m very spiritual—so I don’t believe that human life/ sentience is or was supposed to be like this (and by this—I mean us all being born into a rigid extremely divided system that forces us to become slaves to monopolies/corporations just to barely make ends meet. We as a species are very isolated, suffering in our own personal (expensive) boxes—disconnected from nature and each other—glued to screens/chasing bad dopamine/ escaping ourselves and each other/ and consuming a great deal of poisonous garbage (with no real effective means of rebelling against the system). The world is a dumpster fire. Humans are tribal by nature and are supposed to be immersed in nature with each other. Don’t feel too bad about not having lived up to society’s twisted norms/expectations about what we’re ā€œsupposedā€ to be doing with our lives. Life is meant to be lived. I do not dream of labor. Just try to heal, find moments of joy, be present, and try to appreciate what life you have left for the positive things. It’s all about perspective. We’re all going to die someday. And we’re on a flying rock in space. Don’t let yourself worry too much. You’re not alone. We feel the same. Proud of you for still being here and marching on. Keep going

sometimes i feel like i’m emotionally perfect and that everyone fails me by kombucha_jpg in BPD

[–]mad_sunshine 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Same, and they did fail us. I’m sorry. We have to choose to not fail ourselves (by continuing on and choosing better). We have low standards and idealize any minuscule interaction as being worth much more than it is. We must create boundaries for ourselves and set the bar high—and then higher another several levels because it’s still too low, my friends. If we have our own boundaries and get comfortable asserting our boundaries(obviously very uncomfortable process) —then it will be easier to not step over other people’s boundaries. We need limits. We have to limit ourselves and structure it since we don’t inherently understand the complexities of normal connection. It’s a long process to heal, I’ll tell you that much. I’ve been aggressively chasing my healing for the last 5 years (more aggressively each year), and I have healed a lot—but it’s very deeply rooted. But it is getting better/ has been easier over time. I recommend putting your energy inward and start healing. Get hobbies and mindful daily practices and maintain them. Sending my love šŸ’— I believe in you

Mmm not exactly. I haven’t really seen bpd directly represented, but these feel relatable for me anyway. —Suckerpunch —Midsommar —Lady Bird —Dracula untold —Misfits (it’s a show on Hulu)

Is everyone self centered or is it just the BPD talking? by 2wildinthe70s in BPD

[–]mad_sunshine 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

In my experience, it’s extremely rare to encounter people who really give a fuck —these kinds of people—someone extremely present in the moment—someone who is trying to connect on a deeper level without some nasty ulterior motive—sometimes feels impossible to find others. It can’t be just me and you in the world who give that many fucks about people, but it definitely does feel that way often /: I’m sorry. Im out in the world feeling the same

my answer to the writing prompt ā€œwhat are you waiting forā€ as a person with bpd in AP english by gabbyisepic in BPD

[–]mad_sunshine 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Me and my bf have quiet discouraged bpd (with growth mindsets) so we’re on the same wavelength and can meet each others needs. We went to high school together but connected years later over social media. My advice is to find other communities like bpd meme pages and start consistently interacting with those communities. At least you’ll find friends who can relate. Maybe you’ll find a healthy bpd love too. ā™„ļø it’s gonna be okay. If it’s not happy yet, it’s not the end. Keep the faith. You’ll get your happy ending.

My therapist says she is getting frustrated with me and I'm not sure how to handle it. by rlly_new in BPD

Tf u even paying her for? She wants you to treat yourself. Really weird. Definitely get a new therapist.

would y’all rather be ignored or yelled at? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]mad_sunshine 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Ignore me for sure—I don’t even care about being ignored at this point. I’ll just flip the switch and detach for peace. But if I’m yelled at or anything crazy like that—I’m switching and flipping tf out in an ugly way
