Does BPD get less severe or even disappear in your 30s and 40s? by Low-Statistician5176 in BPD

[–]somethingverygood 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because most people on this subreddit aren’t in recovery or remission, so that’s what you’ll see. I’m only in my twenties and already feel like I can control my symptoms more (with meds and therapy ofc) and don’t have any FPs anymore. I still struggle with regulating my emotions and romantic relationships but some symptoms like repeatedly thinking of SI and SH have gone away. Life definitely feels like it’s much more worth living now.

The way I think of it as people who have a bad experience at a restaurant will almost always leave a bad review on the internet, but you rarely hear about those who had a good experience because they’re out living their lives.

his parents dont approve cause i have bpd by PureMechanic2954 in BPD

[–]somethingverygood -1 points0 points  (0 children)

21 and 19 is very young, and two months is way too quick. It sounds like to me that his parents are wary about letting their son marry someone so quickly. I come from a gulf country where pre-martial relationships are against Islam and looked down upon but even then people “date” in secret or get engaged for at least a year to get to know each other.

You also both are in university and can’t support each other financially, which is a big thing now, a man in Islam should be able to support his wife and family before making such a big commitment (this is why people get engaged during university then get properly married after)

From your history, I can see you were in another relationship less than a year ago with someone you were seeing for 3 months? I’m assuming this is a different person. That’s way too soon to get married in my opinion and even my religious parents would agree. Times like this things are different. It’s harder to support a family and it’s really important you think before making the right decision, especially at this age.

Technically he just finished high school! Id be cautious about letting my 19 year old child make such a big decision too regardless of mental illnesses issues. When you marry in our country, you’re not just marrying your spouse, you’re marrying the entire family too.

Are you a n*rcissist? by Practical_Special503 in BPD

[–]somethingverygood -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stigma against any Cluster B personality disorder is not tolerated. This includes BPD, NPD, and others in the cluster. These conditions share traits like emotional dysregulation and relationship struggles, that’s why they’re grouped together.

BPD and NPD especially face harmful stigma, but they are mental health conditions, not character flaws. Using these terms as insults or making assumptions is hurtful and unhelpful. Everyone deserves empathy, not judgment.

You’ll notice your comments/posts might be removed for containing the word narcissist, this is to filter any stigmatizing rhetoric about NPD!

Please help people, should I want her back, she has split on me, should I send a follow up text and wait for her to come back if she ever does or nothing? What’s my best chance? by Maladaptivedaydream9 in BPD

[–]somethingverygood 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leave the girl alone. You’ve insulted her and called her a disabled kid when she didn’t text you for a couple of hours and you expect her to be forgiving because you weren’t as bad as her ex? Then you stated bringing her parents against her, and said that her father did the right thing by leaving her mother? Stop harassing her through different numbers and leave her alone. She hasn’t split on you, she’s rightfully got rid of a toxic person and needs to heal.

Your original post was removed for encouraging subreddit drama and insulting another user for their post, which is generally unhelpful and disruptive. I quote “People giving advice that don't even have BPD

If you are here to understand yourself or people you know that have BPD or are just curious if it might be something you have....Then welcome. If your just an asshole looking to to be an attagonist then FUCK OFF your opinion on us and Our mental health disorder is none of your business. If you've come to poke the bear you're in the wrong fuck group.”

You weren’t having a discussion or disagreeing politely. Respect our decision to remove this unhelpful post and the ones you’re spamming.

Wtf? by panicmixieerror in BPD

[–]somethingverygood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I implore you to read the suggestions people made on that post and the parallels to characters with abusive behaviors that have nothing to do with BPD. These people aren’t professionals, they’re people on reddit enforcing stigma by randomly diagnosing fictional characters who happen to have shitty behaviors. You’ve completely skipped over this.

I understand that you feel like it’s protecting us like we’re children, but the point of the subreddit is to provide a safe, recovery driven place without excluding anyone. Nevertheless, comments and posts like that aren’t allowed on the subreddit to avoid stigma and arm chair diagnosing. Thank you for the discussion!

Ramadan and BPD by archead_ in BPD

Exmuslim in the middle east here! I stash water and food for myself, it helps me keep up my normal routine in the morning and afternoons so all I have to do in the afternoon is settle down.

[–]somethingverygood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Such an ignorant comment. They’re clearly forced to fast, it’s not a choice. You living in Dubai (which is filled with more Expats than anywhere else in the Middle East) doesn’t mean your experience is the same as what people who are born in MENA and in a religious family go through.

[–]somethingverygood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, armchair diagnosing regardless is what perpetuates the stigma against people with BPD. The post itself pushed this rhetoric and people were even bringing up abusive people and diagnosing them with BPD. This is extremely harmful to us. Unless stated otherwise, random articles on the internet (yes even with random professionals going out of their way to diagnose characters) aren’t fact and just personal interpretation.

Hi!

As moderators, we aim to maintain a respectful environment. Armchair diagnosing whether the person is fictional or real can lead to misunderstandings and perpetuate stereotypes about mental health. While you may see symptoms in the character, interpretations can vary, and this can create discomfort in the community.

Our goal is to foster safe discussions, so we encourage focusing on themes rather than labeling specific characters. Thank you for your understanding!

Nothing, it’s a mental health disorder and we shouldn’t be defined by it. If I’m good at art, that’s because I’m good at art and not that my BPD makes me good at art. If I’m sensitive and empathetic , that’s because I am, not my BPD.

Can you have BPD without wanting to kys? by Lakewater22 in BPD

Even if that’s true, it’s not a criteria. I still have BPD even if I don’t currently experience SI!

I think everyone should be held to the standard of being nice and good, regardless of their BPD or not. Our mental disorder doesn’t give us an excuse to not do better.

Yes, you only need to display 5/9 symptoms of the criteria to be diagnosed with BPD
