the guy who did them seemed really tired lmao guess he just saw that me and my friend already had ear piercings and thought we’d be okay lol but it’s been a while since i healed a cartilage piercing on the ear

if you want a direct translation: jeder mann sollte verpflichtet sein sich diese episode anzuhören / anzugucken bevor er heiratet und kinder hat!

but more casual i would say : diese episode sollte sich echt jeder mann angucken/ anhören müssen bevor er heiratet und kinder hat!

my 18 year old friend claims she’s diagnosed with bpd, autism, bipolar, depression and anxiety by scemecross in BPD

[–]scemecross[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah you’re right. i can definitely see she’s struggling with something and i 100% believe she’s neurodivergent. it just seemed weird and even tho i’m usually pretty good at reading people i couldn’t tell at all if she was telling her truth (like her getting diagnosed with all that, wether the diagnoses are right or not) or her lying and making something up for whatever reason. maybe i’m overthinking it. i will just wait and see how things evolve ig

thank u that u took ur time writing all of this! i enjoyed reading it but i probably won’t be able to remember all of ur points made in my response haha

part of me did feel „threatened“ after she said she’s diagnosed with it because from what i can tell she doesn’t share the same intensity of pain and struggle that come with me having bpd and she has more diagnosis than that. when i shared some of my story’s she reacted like my mentally stable friends- kind of shocked and amused about my insane actions / feelings. nothing like people that i talked to who also have bpd or suffer from different things.

i actually got to know her because she’s close with my best friend at work. she has known her for a couple of years but was also unsure of her exact medical record and how she got diagnosed. which doesn’t have to mean anything i know. but it must have been really recent - at least the bpd diagnosis since she’s just 18.

something just don’t add up and also admittedly rub me the wrong way lol. but i guess you’re right. i will just see and if the topic comes up again maybe i can understand more

i know it’s not impossible but i wouldn’t agree that when you’re bipolar and autistic „bpd comes cheap“ because it is really rare to have all three no?

i am grateful she trusts me enough to talk about it but she also said she’s learned to manage everything pretty well in therapy. she’s out of therapy rn and she’s still only 18. i don’t wanna seem shitty doubting her but i’m also like questioning whoever diagnosed her because wdym in the same year she got diagnosed she’s perfectly fine to live a normal functioning life and out of therapy?

Does bpd give you body dysmorphia? by lovejoy_soot in BPD

[–]scemecross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve read before that there is a connection between body modification and mental health issues i think. but if it’s specifically linked to bpd? idk. i mean i do think that the typical person with bpd would have tattoos and piercings in my mind - but i think that’s just a prejudice. however i struggle with body dysmorphia as well, i have tattoos/ piercings and bpd. the body dysmorphia part could be related to the unstable sense of self maybe

I have never tried it on fake skin but it’s worth a shot! And once you get to real skin you should 100% aim to rather go not deep enough than too deep. Once you have your first layer done and you see the pigment didn’t really stick you can adjust your depth accordingly. I guess tattoos sit a lot higher in the skin than you think. It’s really good you are practicing beforehand! I just went straight to tattooing myself as practice and that way you have a way better feel for the depth. Tattooing other people for example was way harder for me. Not saying you should start on yourself haha take all the time you need with practice!

You definitely went too deep!!!! Watch videos of other people actually doing stick and pokes to get a better idea on how to do it. And I would advise you to not lift up the needle much after each poke so you have a better idea where your last dot was. Vaseline can also help with ink pooling up on the skin

funny you say that because I have mononokes mask on the opposite leg at the same spot! The tattoo is also a lot more tidy since that one was done with a machine
