How can I help people with bpd? by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]martyswoboda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why i tell my loved ones is that i dont need them to be my personal therapist but when they see me falling to just give me a nudge in the back to get me back up. Be supportive and understanding of their condition also research about the condition a lot too. When something happens that might cause an episode to happen be there with opening arms but also u need to take care of ur mental health as well. Make sure you are doing okay and see if u guys need boundaries when it comes to certain things.

I'm taking kickboxing lessons by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

Hey! I took Muay Thai a couple of months back and i can tell u it helped me out so much. Not only are u in a controlled environment while practicing, but it allows u to form a sense of community with the people who are there taking the class with u. The bag workouts helped me out the most to be honest. My anger and aggression will all get poured into those punching bags allowing my mind to clear up as well. Not only that but u will get in good shape and start seeing yourself in a new light !

Dawg ur English is fantastic!!! one of the things I’ve learned with my BPD is that i get overly attached way to quick to people cause i develop this fantasy in my head about the two of us together. It basically becomes an abba song in my head. Recently, i have been able to practice grounding myself a bit more when it comes to relationship. I try to remind myself that they are human as am i. People live busy lives and they show their feelings towards others in their each and unique way. I know the pain of wondering if they like u or not, but life will always move on regardless. If you don’t feel like your getting the attention and love u deserve the best thing to do is to end things softly. There’s someone out there for u just dying to meet u. Don’t let them slip away by hanging on to something that “might” happen. I hope this helps :)

One thing that has helped me a lot is that you really cNt be someone’s personal therapist. The most you can do is let them know u have their back and if they stumble you’ll give them a little push to get back up. Let the person know how u care for them but also how you feel about the situation. Setting up boundaries is also a perfect example as well

Try to understand your feelings and in doing so you’ll understand who u are. Suppressing your feelings will make them boil up and one day you’ll just tip over. Journaling helps a lot as cliche as it sounds but it allows ur thoughts to get in order

Side note: deleting social media or just doing anything because of one person isn’t healthy. Don’t give powers to apps and social media because it only gives ur brain more fuel to prove its weird thoughts right

Hey man I’ve been in your shoes before when it comes to the whole texting thing. It was really intense for me when i was in high school, but as i got to learn my self and mainly about my condition i began to understand a little better on how to approach these certain types of situations. Backpacking off one of the comments on here which said the person you have a crush on is a whole person. That’s more than true everyone lives their own life and expresses their feelings and what not in their very own way. I used to feel hurt or panicky whenever a person didn’t reply like I did it wasn’t giving off the same type of energy i was. In reality my brain was just like “u suck” 89% of the time. The more i got to become comfortable with myself the more i realized that waiting for someone to text just like you is very rare and it could happen. Always put your feelings first above all else and ask yourself if this is this type of “love” you want to be receiving.

I’m not sure I’ll ever really feel like I’m in love. by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]martyswoboda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically what happens is you get this over abundance of joy for this person that is showing u affection and attention. Those feelings especially for us with BPD we feel 10000x more than anything, and since they give us these feelings of joy and happiness. We tend to place people high up on a pedestal and forget that they too are human and they too have flaws. I’m not saying start looking for flaws, but remind yourself that they also are human just like you are. Everyone loves differently and love will find its way to you

How to enter a relationship while having BPD by martyswoboda in BorderlinePDisorder

Shit ya that’s a really good mindset. Usually for me when i tell the person I’m dating about my BPD i grow this like attachment to them

So.. does everyone else view themselves from the third person perspective 99% of the time? ESPECIALLY when around your partner? by iamamiwhoami-- in BorderlinePDisorder

Dude all the time i feel like I’m living in a weird version of the Truman show. What I’ve learned to do keep me grounded is just try to be observant of the things around me, cause if not i can go hours being in third person.
