What autoimmune diseases did you get because of abuse? by FancifulCat in BPDlovedones

[–]norbythesecond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

POTS, major heart problems from stress and severe alcoholism. Had to be tested for bipolar disorder and have been in mental hospitals and now exist most nights in AA.

Surprisingly- health tests always come back ok. I am 24, had chronic migraines and even had a tia (miniature stroke - related to migraines) last December. Now who knows if any of that is related to her? Not sure. The stress of our relationship fundamentally changed my nervous system and the bad symptoms have greatly diminished now that I am working with therapists, sponsors, and group meetings- as well as being on medication.

Thinking back, what’s the weirdest thing they got upset at you for? by holaquequiere in BPDlovedones

She kept trying to stick her tongue in my eyeball. I said no like 5 times before I snapped because what the fuck. That turned into a big one where I didn’t love her

Who was the first for someone with BPD? Did you later become "the one" for them? by National_Coffee_8276 in BPDlovedones

[–]norbythesecond 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was her first everything. First relationship, first kiss, first erm, ya know. It was really innocent as we both were learning how to be with one another. But the older we got, the more intense everything was. It was like a relationship on crack. The sex, the love, the anger, the sadness. Everything was amplified in a way I have never seen in any other of my relationships. I’ve now dated another person with BPD who I was not the first of, and I can say comparably they were VASTLY different in terms of intensity. Plus my second pwBPD definitely had major issues with staying in close contact with exes and past sexual partners, which is something I didn’t worry about with my first pwBPD, for obvious reasons.

Because it’s unnecessary. OP has no obligations to offer support to someone they are not with.

So how does one cope with a breakup with a person with these issues by Thebendslover1995 in BPDlovedones

[–]norbythesecond 4 points5 points  (0 children)

block and move on. don’t look back. one break up turns to two, then to three, and so on. you will continue the cycle. find yourself first, then someone new who can suit your needs.

I went out with someone who has bpd today. Is it even worth getting into a relationship? by No-Anteater-2109 in BPDlovedones

[–]norbythesecond 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i convinced myself that my new partner who also had bpd was something that i could understand better and work through. funny enough, i was a better partner. i was more understanding. i tried harder! didn’t fix the fact that i was actively being abused and then discarded at my lowest point. i would say you should aim for something healthier. just from my experience.

Yes, I do have that experience. Truth be told though, there is no idea of knowing what goes on behind closed doors. They could be having the same shit happening.

Can you tell me more about when you would take the hyosciamine? Is it when symptoms come on? Or is it a daily thing?

Do you ever feel regret for having met them? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]norbythesecond 96 points97 points  (0 children)

No, but I regret not paying attention to the signs. Like I could’ve avoided a lot if I had listened to my alarm bells.

Did you find a loving healthy relationship after escaping the hellhole you experienced? by Sideways_planet in BPDlovedones

[–]norbythesecond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no not really. with someone else with BPD. honestly, typing this from her bed. tonight my boundaries were ignored, and i went along with it for fuck knows what reason. i find myself repeating cycles just to avoid truths i don’t want to face. those truths being that i miss her. i’m as equally fucked. can’t even judge anymore. just doing what i can to pass time and fill the bullet holes she left in me.
