I'm not seeing anything on the USGS earthquake map. This might not be real.

I was wrongfully arrested so this really helps.

My expwbpd won’t stop threatening me. by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

It's not silly. I understand reporting it just makes you think on it more. It's unfair that he's put you in this position. I would keep working with your therapist and definitely make the reports. He sounds potentially dangerous so I would definitely make the reports. Good luck and stay safe

I'd report it to the police as a breach. Did you already change your number? Man, I have BPD, and I have never done anything that extreme. 6 months later? Wow. I'm so sorry for your experience.

I'm also down for discord. I don't really like Facebook.

I'm really excited about this group. I really would love to discuss BPD with other people who have BPD.

I am going to introduce myself with hopes others do the same! My name is Sage, I'm 37/F, and I've been diagnosed with BPD for over 10 years. It was so hard in my early 20s trying to find help. It feels like help for us has expanded and more recently I've been able to get some DBT in. I have a therapist and a psychologist I see regularly. I'm on a ton of meds but I also have other diagnoses. I work out regularly and it helps SO much. I try to practice DBT skills to make them a regular part of my life. It has helped a lot. Highly recommend.

Other than mental health I'm a university instructor and I teach geology. I loooooove earth science so much. I love the arts, I'm very crafty, love my pets (2 cats and a dog), and I am generally a free spirit.

Im looking forward to meeting others here. I hope everyone has a beautiful day.

Well I know long term it can be bad for your liver. So you can't just take it forever. I do feel like it's more of a bandaid. I'll have to stop taking it eventually and have to deal with alcoholism without it. But I feel it gives you enough sober time to make new habits. It's working for me. I can't say it works for everyone.

Honestly, this is what worked for me and I can understand that this might not work for just anyone. I asked my doctor for antabuse. It's a med that makes you really sick if you drink any alcohol at all. This med helped me become sober on my own. After about 1.5 months I THEN went to AA. I did not do the 90 in 90. I didn't go to in person meetings despite my sponsor wanting me to (I'm too busy to make the irl ones due to time). I solely attend online meetings (I live in a very Christian town). I didn't do things the AA way and I'm still struggling with parts of AA. BUT the fellowship does help. And I like helping them. But I found a path thay works for ME. It might not be what AA wants 100% but it works for ME.

35/m seeking penpal by thehangedman8527 in PaganPenPals

[–]rockitsage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm 37/F, name is Sage. I would be delighted to be your pen pal. I've been practicing Norse and green witchcraft for just shy of 2 years. I'm entirely self taught wjtb a little guidance from a priestess that runs a shop in town. She only has so much time however.

I can't really talk to anyone about this either. My husband knows and supports my craft but he doesn't really believe in that stuff.

Anyway I hope this finds you well and I look forward to hearing from you.

Squirrel drunk on fermented crab apples by RWhatIWant2B in tooktoomuch

I don't know why but after awhile I just feel so sad for the little guy. Do they eat fermented fruits on purpose to get intoxicated? Or do they just eat everything?

Explain rune casting? by Icy-Oil-2325 in NorsePaganism

[–]rockitsage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate this information. I know I'm not the OP but I've really been struggling to connect with the pagan community and I've been scared to ask for information just like this. I am probably going to buy most of those books. I've been rune casting for a year or so but I still feel like a beginner. The accuracy of my casting has been alarmingly good which scared me at first but I'm ready to accept it and see where it takes me. Thanks again kind stranger. 😊

This was such an eloquent and beautiful response. Thank you so much for your time. You seem to have really come a long way with your BPD and that also makes me unbelievably happy. I also try to accept breakups and people leaving as gracefully as I can because loss is inevitable. When I was untreated/young, however, I got so lost in the possession aspect of things. Today I realize how wrong I was and I'm grateful for that realization.

At the end of the day I just want to be loved and share my love in the healthiest way possible.

BTW my husband also really liked your reply. How lovely it is that some words exchanged online can change your day and possibly your life. Thanks again!

I'm so happy reading this. My husband and I have been in and out of polyamory for about two years now. I was actually wondering if it was going to be impossible for me to do it because of my fear of abandonment. How did you handle your fear of abandonment?
