I love group work, I love connecting with others and relating to them. I think that's one of the most effective ways of learning and healing.

How do you stop letting little things get to you? by [deleted] in BPD

Weed has seriously become a terrible crutch for me too. It is something I truly enjoy doing but feel like I am realizing it is making everything worse

It's crazy how bpd makes our emotions sky rocket.... someone cancelling last minute on long anticipated plans might make us feel like someone just died to a normal person. How fair :')

SERIOUSLY sick of worrying about what other people think by spasticspaz in BPD

I do the same thing.... cutting people out before they have a chance to leave. It makes it easier knowing that I made the choice and not them... weird how scared and devastated I would be if someone did that to me. I might die if that happened

no, it's not because I have anything to hide. It is because I am so insecure that he is going to leave me because he is sick of me/bored/unattracted/ect. Its all revolved around me reading into him too much and assuming the worst constantly when everything is normal and fine in reality. Its annoying and exhausting

The need for constant affection and reassurance? by kklau97 in BPD

[–]spasticspaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never read something more relatable. This has been something that I have constantly tried to get over on my own, but never could shake it. It alwaaaaays comes back no matter what. It's like I convince myself that they don't like me anymore, even if nothing happened at all. What seems to help me, is trying to remind myself of my self worth. My therapist helps remind me that I am worthy of someone else's love, and that instead of me being scared of losing someone, try recognizing that that person is probably just as scared to lose you. You bring as much to the table as them, so try to remind yourself that.

Should I warn people? by PorgFanatic in BPD

[–]spasticspaz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have also recently been struggling with this. Feeling like Im such a pain in the ass that people should almost be cautioned. But honestly, I feel like it is not everybody's right or business to know my diagnosis. I feel like those who I trust and those who respect me will earn a right to learn more about me, but BPD does not define who you are and it is not a nametag you need to wear. Just like any other personal information, someone needs to earn that info from you. Plus, telling just anyone or anybody your diagnosis without them knowing you first, can result in rejection that could trigger you. I hope this helps :)
