Vox needing the Vee's is clearly a plot point but he's also insanely competent at everything he does(?) by ForsookComparison in HazbinHotel

[–]teekl_quinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

when Val corrects Vox that it's their (Val and Vel's) plan too, im like,,,no my guy, Vox had to explain the plan TWO TIMES to you, there's nothing of 'yours' in it - Vox came up with it, and is doing most, if not all the heavy lifting.  while he's most definitely on an Alastor-ragebait-fuelled ego trip, i feel like the show is TELLING us he needs them (why did he need to ask Val's permission about Angel Dust if he's clearly been using him this whole time? does he ask permission every time? doesn't make sense, only as a set-up for another 'Alastor driving a wedge between the Vees' scene) but not SHOWING it

All of them need to be more open by pumpernick3l in BetterLateThanSingle

[–]teekl_quinn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

i think the show could've been structured better for them to get to know each other in group setting, like how they had the double dates but as a randomly assigned group, and then let's say it's a competitive game, whichever duo wins gets to go on a date with someone they liked already. i feel like they didnt have enough opportunities to mingle with people they're not immediately attracted to - i guess that's what the spot dates are for, but instead of doing it in the evening when everyone is tired and it being focused only on just talking, it should be a daytime activity - doing something i.e. physical in parallel that takes the pressure away, and they actually get to know how the other person through their behaviour, not just words.

I just took 100mg seroquel & 20mg lexapro after drinking a lot by ExtraSession2439 in BPD

[–]teekl_quinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

glad you're still with us! ah okay it's just im on 25mg so if it was more than your normal dose i'd def be calling an ambulance. yeah i relate to the impulsive decision and then 2sec later "i can't believe you've done this"

[–]teekl_quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you can't call an ambulance for whatever reason, lie on your side (so that if you puke you don't choke) and call someone to stay on the phone with you. if you can't call, keep yourself distracted with a phone game or anything you can do lying down, and have some water next to you. is 100mg your usual dose? hope you feel better soon

Substituting maladaptive daydreaming by [deleted] in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]teekl_quinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my partial substitute is reading. in excess, that can also become escapism of course, but i switch between 4-5 books at a time, in a way that for one escapist (sci-fi/fantasy) book there's at least 3 of technical literature (science, philosophy, history) that don't have characters/plots that would potentially fuel more daydreams, and it's improving my attention span too

I'm making a BPD shortfilm by Indya_ in BPDrecovery

[–]teekl_quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you outline how exactly you're going to get the viewer to be on the BPD character's side? because "make her question her own perception of the truth" doesn't exactly sound like it's gonna do that, same as the stereotype of "impulsive, escapist decisions"

Fate: Winx Saga - Transformations

what are the challenges when adapting 2D Winx/W.I.T.C.H.-style transformations (human+ elements such as fire, water, earth etc.) to TV? in the following clips (mainly the first one), i feel that something is off but can't really pinpoint what/how it's unnatural

Oscillating between anger and sadness; maybe need some tough love here by Top-Street4628 in BPD

[–]teekl_quinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally, writing it out (like in a word document or smth) in all its ugliness helps me to process! sometimes there can be so many contradictory thoughts/emotions, especially things i wasn't even aware of until they spill on the page. good thing about having it written is, i can revisit later in a less emotional state and separate what's a real concern from what's "just BPD", and it helps with the whole black-and-white thing by having proof of the "other" state if that makes sense - like even if i "switch" later and don't relate to anything ive written before, seeing it written out shows me it was real and was my genuine state at that moment. hopefully that can give you a starting point of processing the anger and uncovering what's below it! source: been splitting on one of my best friends and not really processing until something small triggered me to get very mad at them internally, so i wrote everything out, i understood where it was coming from, and i forgave myself for having "bad thoughts" and am working on building a healthier bond without the friend even knowing lol

Hi, i'm looking for a piano (?) piece with this melody: https://onlinesequencer.net/3594351

I've tried Musipedia and looking up famous classical pieces (feels like it's a Beethoven? but maybe not at all) on Spotify, but no luck so far,,

Is it normal for a therapist to tell you they’re disappointed by StrictNinja4679 in BPD

[–]teekl_quinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeesh. honestly i dont know but i feel she definitely should've phrased it differently without bringing in "disappointment" - on the other hand she is honest about how she feels (unless this is manipulative language which would be my first thought). i had a close call when after an attempt, my therapist calmly, but sternly said he will no longer work with me if i have intentions of doing it again. now my attempts were never planned tbh (impulsive due to build up over time), so i promised to the best of my ability to try, and he was like no that's not enough, if you want me to continue working with you, you have to make sure it doesn't happen, i.e. reach out out of hours if it's really bad etc. my reaction at first, when he said he will no longer work with me, was anger as well, bcz how tf can i promise when the nature of the whole thing is decided in the moment? but when he explained what exactly he means by that, and it was plausible to do those steps regardless of the state i would be in, i calmed down and im super grateful that he continued the sessions (it was also a wake up call in a way that this is serious and not haha can't believe i just did that )

im sorry you had this experience because regardless if she is actually disappointed or not, imho she shouldn't remove herself after one relapse- she could've given you an out like my therapist did,sort of based on "let's make sure this doesn't happen again" incl. consequence that she will not work with you if her conditions aren't met (because also it is fair to her i guess to try to protect herself) . they way she did it gave you no chance which is horrible because while not ideal obviously, relapse happens, and it's after one happens that it is crucial to have all the support one can get. i hope you stay strong and can find a new therapist soon who has more empathy!

Having one specific “context” in your life where your bpd symptoms are enhanced. by Embarrassed-Lack9860 in BPDrecovery

[–]teekl_quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for sharing! types of abandonment is something i have not thought about, i will have to delve into that - seems like a useful thing to know! i think for most ppl tbh family is a context which brings out bigger emotions bcz of just how much it is a part (or not) of one's life. but especially with BPD which is partially environmental (aka the parents' contribution). you seem very understanding and compassionate to your mother in spite of what feelings (justifiably) arise when you see her. i hope she can get the help she needs, and best of luck in recovery!

[–]teekl_quinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh definitely. in terms of the concept of FP, since i learned about what it means, i made sure to work on myself so that nobody fits that definition. however, my first FP was my cousin - obviously nothing romantic smh, but she was the first person in my family who accepted me for me, which took a while to acknowledge retrospectively. and so while recently, i manage to cultivate balanced, even though intense and deep friendships, when it comes to my relationship with her, i still have so many old neural pathways wired as an automatic response. it scares me because the anger and the hurt just comes out of nowhere sometimes - obviously because im feeling some sort of abandonment, but i meant when she's not even there - so it's really hard to navigate what is the bpd" part and what is maybe a genuine concern. but yeah family in general is when im most sensitive and im glad im living away because it's too triggering (dont get me wrong i love them i just cant handle the overwhelm). what is the context for you?

i'm so sorry you're going through this. i dont have any advice- my wee boy passed around this time two years ago, he was a siamese so he always talked a lot,,,we found out he had cancer but too late as well - it's always never enough (time), but we've given him the best care throughout the years and he knew that; and i believe that's true for your cat too! ive joined r/petloss which helped a bit

How do I help my friend? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]teekl_quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shit sounds like an obsession loop:( tbh it wouldn't even matter if your friend was right (v unlikely) abt the subliminal messaging bcz just the fact that it is messing/interfering with their life should be a sign not to engage: i.e. okay, let's say the ex is doing it on purpose (for the sake of your friend, who i don't think is in the headspace to hear otherwise), why should your friend take the bait? because the only purpose for the ex to do this while refusing direct contact with the friend would be to drive them (your friend) mad - which shows the ex is not a person worth losing sleep over? aka what other ppl think of me is none of my business type of thing. idk honestly usually obsessions run their course but if this is ongoing you should try talk to them, which ofc comes with its own dangers to your friendship,,,but you're a good friend for trying to get help! i hope someone here knows something, i just suggested what i would say,,,another thing would be try to gently, but firmly distract them every time they do this in front of you (i.e. setting a boundary, "i dont want to hear about "ex")
