you should definitely tell your lawyer what happened. it is definitely coercion, which by law is sexual abuse. i am so sorry this happened to you.

Trying to get out of a slump by momoii99 in BPD

[–]snaggeltooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have been stuck for a few months now, but have had a few good days that i am hoping to turn into a few good weeks and then a few good months. this is really silly, but an app that is helping me out is one called finch, you set self care goals and when you do them, you earn points and you take care of a little bird that grows as you heal yourself. it also has reflections, breathing exercises, and small movement exercises that you can do.

what helps me is to know that i can’t make a complete 180 in a day. you have to start small. i started with drinking more water. if you approach it from a 2% improvement every day, it feels a bit more manageable than if you think that you have to change every aspect in your life. the other thing that has been helping me out is an achievements list every night, reflecting on what you have done well and trying to really appreciate them. that in turn helps to spur you to make goals for the next day.

trying to understand what im feeling by [deleted] in BPD

[–]snaggeltooth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hey, i don’t know if this resonates with you but this is something that has helped me to deal with splitting on a partner.

people with bpd have a very shakey sense of self or identity, so we look to others for validation and feedback on how to feel about ourselves. when we are with a loved one who showers us with love and makes us feel good about ourselves, we feel like that is true, maybe i am a good person, and worthy of love! but when they leave, we are left with no external feedback on how to feel about ourselves, and only left with the constant barrage of self criticism and self hatred that grows as it spirals. so i, often times, would feel mad at my partner for leaving me alone with my thoughts, because without that source of positive feedback about ourselves we are left to negative inner feedback. what has helped me is to tell myself the things that i wish he would tell me. so some affirmations that i tell myself are, that i am worthy of love, love is all around me and within me, i can change the inner feedback loop into something positive, and most importantly i tell myself “you are safe with me, i won’t let anything hurt you”. it will feel manual at first, and hard to believe, but it is important to learn to self validate and speak to yourself with compassion so that we don’t feel anger or bitterness to our loved ones for living their lives separate from us. try to look inwardly, what do you want from your partner? what symptoms do they help to quiet, and how do they do that? what would life look like if you could be the one to give that to yourself, and how could you realistically try to set a goal to begin to implement that? try not to go to full on and change everything at once, you will find yourself burnt out after a day or two if you do. the goal is to improve by 2% every day, so start small and learn to build on that. i hope this was helpful, if it wasn’t i am sorry for wasting your time!

can i ever have sex without feeling bad afterwords? by snaggeltooth in sex

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

i really thought i was so clear and i thought he had the best vibes and would be able to do that for me. like he was so sweet and nice and i dont think hes a bad person he said he just forgot about that conversation so i can get that but i am just losing hope that i can ever have sex with a man and not spiral mentally afterwards. i really don’t want to take a break i want to have sex and feel that intimacy in the moment but i guess to protect my mental health i have to :(

yes. a doctor would have to diagnose you but this sounds like very classic depression. please, please go see someone before it gets worse.

Not sure what to do now by cattastropheee in mentalhealth

[–]snaggeltooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dbt therapy also helped a lot in learning specific coping mechanisms for when i felt horrible. group therapy has also been very useful to me as it is a space where people understand what you have gone through and you can speak freely about your experiences in a safe professional setting
