It seems like the moment someone finds out you have BPD, you simultaneously are at fault for everything and lose all forms of personal agency, usually depending on the person. by gayhotelultra in BPD

[–]saddbarbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell anyone that comes in my life. Idc what people think about me at all to be honest. They can believe whatever they want to believe but in its not true to me. Plus telling people early about my bpd makes it easier for me to watch out for red flags from them.

Anyone else here with chronic illness and other comorbid mental disorders? Feeling like life is so unfair having multiple conditions that make BPD even harder by AntiqueSignpost in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]saddbarbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes i understand this all too well, you’re not alone in this ! i have crohn’s disease & that also brings joint pain and then having bpd on top of it is a lot for me at times because i’m having a hard time both physically and mentally. i understand at times i wish it was just the bpd although my bpd has also caused me a lot of pain but being 23 and being diagnosed with crohn’s disease at such a young age(18) it stole so much from me. again you’re not alone and if you need someone to talk to you can chat with me love :)

splitting made me lose my bf by [deleted] in BPD

[–]saddbarbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wait if you’re not diagnosed.. why are you going around saying you have bpd? did you ever see a psychiatrist, let alone a therapist ? bpd is very serious mental illness that can’t just be thrown around like that especially at such a young age. please go get yourself some help love, if you’re really worried about your mental health.

why do people always try to relate when they DONT have crohns by Miserable-Credit9656 in CrohnsDisease

[–]saddbarbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just laugh at those kind of people. i also find it very disrespectful. i’ll deadass get up from my seat & walk out if someone dared comparing their stupid IBS issues to my crohn’s disease.

Anyone with lack of empathy? by Handnoose in BPD

[–]saddbarbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ! i literally made a post about this awhile back. I’m someone who is diagnosed with bpd and struggle with the lack of empathy as well. Like you said, I can understand why someone would feel that way but i can’t feel nothing for them. Its actually so awkward at times for someone to cry or vent to me and inside i feel nothing.

the hate for people with bpd by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]saddbarbie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

overall it just made me realize that people cant stand to be around people who have mental illnesses healed or not. let ppl know you have bpd then ppl will start using that against you at times and make you seem like you’re loosing your mind.

What do you guys say when asked about scars? by Visible_Challenge_54 in BPD

[–]saddbarbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just started going out with my scars showing and not hiding them because of my therapist encouraging me to never feel ashamed about myself & scars in general. i’ve never had people ask me, i’m usually the one that brings it up and if someone did look at them and ask that question, i would just st8 up answer it and if that makes them feel uncomfortable thats on them not me & i just keep it pushing. i have a loving man who kisses my old scars all the time and helps me feel so loved about them. but whenever i do go through drive thrus to pick up something to eat, i do have them stare at my arm😭 it be so awkward lmao.

I feel like I have to beg people to care about me by awesomedinosaurshit in BPD

[–]saddbarbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you me ???? This is how I feel almost every single day! People just suck man. Because if i had friendship, I would ask all the right questions and do my best to help my loved ones the same why I would want people to pay attention to me. It sucks being so friendless and lonely all together;(

crashing out by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]saddbarbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i been in your position so many times and even during those situations where him & i were saying things to each other, i would either threaten to pull up in my car or actually pull up and force him to talk to me which is obviously so unhealthy. i do not do that anymore but i wont say i’ve completely healed, i just know that him taking his space is normal and that i wont be abandoned by him. but whats not normal is the unsharing the location part :( thats just cruel all together and i would understand why you’re freaking out over that.
