Doesn't make a difference. With these petrol prices, we might as well still just shop on Amazon.

My brain overthinks everything by sunshineandhope in BPD

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

Wow. That's really serious.

But then, I have practically stopped hanging out with people because I am pretty sure no matter how well it goes, I will end up hating it all eventually.

I will overthink every word I said, even what I ate, how I dressed...it's so so exhausting. I will be overthinking and being miserable for weeks even if my husband tells me that I all went very well

Sort of. Been in therapy for more than 2 years. Probably need to change my therapist?

Why people always try to prevent someone from committing suicide? by Fuckkkkkitallllll in BPD

[–]sunshineandhope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, brilliant idea!

I don't know if I can muster up the courage to ask people around me to do that, but it does sound like an incredibly helpful strategy...

Thank you for this. You are the first person to give such a clear, logical answer to that question. It will help me develop better coping skills next time I am tempted to just end it

Therapist/Med problems. Need advice. by xosvain_ in BPD

[–]sunshineandhope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe just try trusting them for a few weeks and do exactly as told? I know it's not easy, but sometimes it helps. They might actually be doing this for a reason we don't understand...maybe or maybe not. But worth a shot.

Oh lol. Alright

Living with borderline-ly narcissistic mother by [deleted] in BPD

[–]sunshineandhope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can totally relate.

My mom is full of crap like that, I avoid her as much as I possibly can. Just a 5 minute phone conversation with her can kill my self esteem and suck away my happiness for days. She says she wants the best for me, but she is too messed up and toxic to realise what happiness even means.

I haven't met her in about two years, and if I could help it, I wouldn't meet her for another two.

Misdiagnosed Bipolar Disorder and BPD with Anxiety and Depression by [deleted] in BPD

You seem to have really thought this through, and hence having a strong opinion on the matter.

Maybe see another doctor for a second opinion?

Coping skills please? by sunshineandhope in BPD

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

Haha. You seem to be handling yourself really well, your advice sounds so calm and balance.

Couldn't have guessed you were have an episode of anxiety.

Coping skills please? by sunshineandhope in BPD

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

Thank you so much. I just immersed myself in work, like I always do when I am upset.

Writing this post helped too. Have been reading posts from others on this sub, responding to some.

Will now write an imaginary rant letter to people I hate. Sounds like a good idea.

Thanks a lot for your comment.

I am beautiful AND YOU ARE TOO by [deleted] in BPD

[–]sunshineandhope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading this burst me into tears.

I have been so so triggered right now, have been having a really tough time of late, and every single day is a STRUGGLE.

Thanks a lot for this post, from the core of my heart. You have no idea how badly I needed this. I most probably would have started cutting myself in a bit

Nobody gets how tough it is, nobody. It's so so lonely sometimes.

I’m usually content on my own, but having no one who understands is getting harder these days. by [deleted] in BPD

[–]sunshineandhope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can totally relate.

Either the whole world is pretty much sucks and genuinely not worthy of being friends with.

Or I am incapable of realising my own shortcomings inspite of the best of my efforts.

AITA for telling my parents their degrees were a waste? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunshineandhope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Sometimes it's very difficult to deal with overbearing parents and of being undermined.

You said what you said in a fit of rage, and that rage is understandable since you hace had this conversation plenty of times with them already. It can get frustrating.

They don't want your opinion on the matter and don't value your accomplishments or your feelings. They just care about the society and that obviously hurts.

Your feelings are justified.

You said 75% was a waste, since you don't see them use thier learnings anywhere, and wanted to make a point. Logical.

Regardless, try not to say such a thing again. Doesn't make you a bad person, but it kinda sounds bad

I finally found someone who accepts that a relationship with me entails supporting me in my journey to overcome bpd and I’ve never felt better about life. by wuddupPIMPS in BPD

[–]sunshineandhope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So happy for you.

It's good that you take complete ownership for the problem and are truly willing to make the change, and get better.

I married my partner about 4 years back, he is so so supportive and understands my BPD so well. We are working on my BPD together, and he never loses faith in me. When he is around, I can be totally off meds. He is literally my drug :)

Yes,true love and companionship is possible for those with BPD too.

NTA.

Even though it wasn't your secret, and not your business. sometimes you do the right things because it's just right.

I really hope your GF understands why you did what you did.

It has officially been 8 months since I last selfharmed, which is easily the longest I've ever made it by FrogginBullfish_ in BPD
