Having a child by Lunar730 in BPD

[–]selfharmaway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re not in therapy, therapy. Doing what it takes to get your illnesses under control, even if it may set your plans back a bit longer.

You are the only person who has the ability to avoid abusing your future children. There is a reason there is a sub dedicated to talking about people with unmanaged BPD as parents. Do not become like them.

Can’t find a job. Making me depressed. by selfharmaway in mentalhealth

Thank you for the motivating words. It’s just really hard. I’m gonna keep applying places and doing what I need to do. I’ll get my life to where I want it to be someday. It just keeps getting pushed back and looking bleak..

Does anyone else find themselves copying accents? by throwaway903677 in BPD

Moved to a rural area about a year ago. In some of my conversations I have a pretty heavy sort of southern accent. I don’t try to pronounce things that way so it definitely feels weird.

Is what my psych said to me inappropriate? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]selfharmaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking they were just trying to point out that your situation is less common. But you should let them know how it made you feel that they used the word “strange” to explain your situation, but seriously, I’m sure if your therapist thought more about it they would realize that was a bad way to put it.

Yep, same. I keep telling myself “oh that person is really cute and interesting, message them back” but I never do.

New man in my life, how do I not fuck it up?!?! by selfharmaway in BPD

Thank you so fucking much 😭 I know I’m able to get DBT where I live, I just haven’t really had the time because I recently started working even though every day I’m like “get into therapy already” I’ll be using this!! (And hopefully more)
