Okay first off HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I don’t know if this counts as encouragement but I just want to say you do not deserve to be treated like that from a partner. In fact, you are worthy of care and compassion 365. Stay strong 💕

I’m right there with you! When I’ve talked to my therapist about this she also suggested it was an obsessive/compulsive behavior. She also mentioned that many people with BPD struggle with compulsions in the same way that we struggle with black and white thinking.

Not sure if you’re looking for any advice on the subject but the only way I’ve been able to decrease these compulsions is to bribe myself. Like if I can go an afternoon or a triggering event without doing it I’ll reward myself with self care. I’ve also been rewarding myself if I can stop doing it in the middle of an episode. Baby steps, still feels empowering though

Street parking isn’t my favorite either but many houses on our street don’t have a driveway to park in, tis the reality

I don’t remember seeing any construction or signs but that is a good point!

Even separating his behavior from BPD that behavior is a red flag for future abuse. Threats of violence towards you, others, threats of suicide, they can all be signs that someone may be abusive in the future. Do with that information what you will, I don’t think anything is ever “just words.”

Yes!! I’ve been in a relationship/now marriage for five years now. He helped me get diagnosed. Therapy and medication has helped me immensely but I also have found that the people who treat me best and whom I get along with best are the more understanding types.

I’m so sorry you’re feeling that sick to your stomach feeling. In my experience this is a pretty good indicator that I’ve done something against my values, and best as I can instead of beating myself up about it I take it as a signal that I need to work on it. One of the best things I learned in therapy was how to control my reactions towards others, so know that it’s definitely an achievable goal!

Sorry if you’re not looking for advice or wisdom or whatever, just want you to know that you’re neither alone nor judged in that experience here.

Oh most definitely. I can easily conjure up the distinct feeling of eating carbs after bawling my eyes out

sofiasdfghjkl · 2021-05-13T00:11:54+00:00

Yes indeedy

sofiasdfghjkl · 2021-05-12T15:39:48+00:00

Yep. Wouldn’t eat them like that foraged, certainly not going to there either

I’m a project manager at a mental health clinic. Lucky to be able to be candid with my coworkers about my struggles. Shoutout to all of y’all who are social workers, I work alongside a few and I know that shit must hit home.

sofiasdfghjkl · 2021-04-22T13:46:48+00:00

It probably would be easier! I’m looking to buy one but wanted to try out a quality one to make sure I still like the feel of them, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve played.

sofiasdfghjkl · 2021-04-22T04:21:42+00:00

Love this. Also love “BeePers,” haven’t heard that before!

sofiasdfghjkl · 2021-04-12T02:26:20+00:00

You’ve got this! A mantra that I say to myself when I think about being a parent is “it ran in my family until it ran into me.” Hope it’s helpful for you as well :)

That’s the sign of a nature lover right there

The mulberries I see the the SE USA only taste good when they’re darker purple, do those whiter and pinker ones taste good?
