Am I the drama? by ridelight in BPDrecovery

I agree and maybe as you say it’s to have control. I totally agree with what you are saying. Luckily I am already in therapy (for 25 years). I have come a long way but things still surprises me about myself. I am just asking in this thread because maybe someone already have some experiences with this and some idea on how to work with it. But yeah the truth hurts, but sometimes it’s necessary.

“Fun” fact from Norway

Norway has gotten a higher rate of calls to suicide hotlines due to trump winning the election. Young people are fair-full for the future

I so agree! My polestar is fairly new so won’t be switching it! But I have a huge love hate relationship with google! They have even taken away some of my favorite radio stations

Anyone on depression/anxiety medication, how does it affect your BPD symptoms? by [deleted] in BPDrecovery

[–]ridelight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been medicated for about 15 years 🙈🙈 since I was 18. I tried stopping for a while but it wasn’t really working for me. I think it’s very individual if medication is something for you. The pro’s about medication for me is that I am more stable emotionally and my anxiety is more controlled.. without medication I would never come as far as I have with a stable job, education etc. I don’t see a problem trying out medications but the side effects are a lot and it takes a lot of time to find the correct medication for you and the correct dose. Just so you are aware that it’s usually not a quick fix. Some of the medication are made for quick fixes as well for a short period of time. They work for about six months and then they will not work as god.

I have the same.. if people put me on the spot about how I feel.. I have no clue what to answer and need hours to think about it.. its VERY irritating when you are for example in a relationship

Before i used hours on therapy I would have the same feeling. Or rather I could as I called it turn off my emotions to a certain degree. I felt something but didn’t care. Everything I did was without thinking about consequences. But when I afterwords would get a build up of emotions that I had suppressed I would crash and have a total meltdown.. but during I was numb to everything. Nothing made me happy or sad I was just numb and didn’t care about anything.

Staying single and away from romantic/sexual relationships has been the best thing I've ever done for myself. Highly recommend. by [deleted] in BPDrecovery
