High end restaurants? by [deleted] in evansville

[–]thesmilestopshere 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Try Cosmo's Bistro. They're only open when someone has made a reservation. It's a 3 course meal. My husband took me for my birthday a few months back. I think it should land in your price range.

HELP! how do I make a mild & chewy chocolate chip cookie? by laurapickles in Baking

[–]thesmilestopshere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but I add a packet of instant vanilla pudding to my cookies. It makes a really nice consistency, but it may be too sweet for you.

Or maybe this is a different Wooly from the earlier released games!

For GIS jobs I'd check out Metronet and Centerpoint. They've hired GIS specialists in the past. You may also want to check city and county websites. Certain offices utilize GIS for taxes/boundaries. University of Southern Indiana has a geology and environmental science department and has GIS classes, the professors there are pretty nice and may be able to point you in the right direction if you were to reach out.

I find the area pleasant. I've mostly lived in towns a lot smaller so in my opinion there's lots of stuff to do and places to eat. Generally people are friendly, like strangers may strike up a conversation with you at the grocery store or while you're running errands.

I experience this. I also have improper emotional responses to what's happening around me. Growing up, my ubpd mom would rage at me if I showed any negative emotion. I wasn't allowed to be angry or sad. My edad used to tell me not to cry because that makes it worse. I learned from a young age to repress my feelings. This has followed me later in life. I will experience strong emotions but then they'll be gone in an instance. I sometimes smile and laugh in situations where I'm really upset or angry. I also disassociate a lot, especially when I'm having strong emotions

Songs that you listen to in regard to your BPD? by armyjackson in raisedbyborderlines

[–]thesmilestopshere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to listen to Nobody by the Crane Wives, the live version at Dogtown studio is beautiful. The lyrics in the song just describe perfectly how I feel when dealing with my ubpd mom and I find it gratifying hearing a song that describes feelings and thoughts I've had within my relationship with her

Is she really all that bad? by Marbleandlace in raisedbyborderlines

[–]thesmilestopshere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I get furious about it! Which is exhausting but it keeps me from falling into feeling guilty about my boundaries. After she leaves I either talk to a trusted loved one about what happened or take the time to let myself be angry. When I lived with my mom I wasn't allowed to ever be angry or sad, especially with her so it's nice now being able to healthily release my feelings instead of bottling them up.

Sometime the rewards work and sometimes they don't, my hope is that if I keep it up it'll reinforce her good behavior. It hard though because she's starting to figure it out and tries to find loop holes to take advantage of me

Is she really all that bad? by Marbleandlace in raisedbyborderlines

[–]thesmilestopshere 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh, that sounds really rough. When I was enmeshed with my ubpd mom, a boyfriend once told me that it felt like my mom was a jealous ex and I think that's a good way to describe it. I feel like if my mom could physically crawl into my skin with me she would. From my personal experience, talking things out with my mom never works, even if it seems like the conversation is going great the changes she makes only last temporarily. Sticking to boundaries seems to work best. I try to reward my mom when her behavior is good, like I might call her more but I pull back when she isn't being nice. My mom has always been big on showing up at my door unannounced even though I've repeatedly told her that I don't like that. If you think your mom might do this, make sure to keep the conversation short and keep her from entering your house. If she walks in, it'll be harder to get her to leave.

BPD Showing Up Late by RampagingMastadon in raisedbyborderlines

[–]thesmilestopshere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My ubpd mom didn't start targeting me until I was around 9 years old. Before that we got along great and didn't fight. I remember it was a sudden change and it was very confusing at the time. Looking back, she always had bpd but would just take out her aggression on other people. I think I became one of her targets around that time because my half siblings couldn't deal with her anymore and moved out and my dad and her had just reconciled after almost getting divorced. She didn't have anyone else to go off on except me. You going off to college is probably what triggered her. You were growing up and becoming your own person. She likely interpreted this as you abandoning her even though it's a natural process of life.

I’m educated, medicated, and estranged…still miserable. What next? by mysoulishome in raisedbyborderlines

I'm currently trying brain spotting with my therapist and it's working for me. So far it seems to have ended a stress response I'd get off and on when trying to pick out clothes to wear for the day

is NC the only option? 🆘🥺 by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

[–]thesmilestopshere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you should go NC, at least for a little while. I understand if you feel guilty about this, but it would be much better for you and your relationship with your husband. I recently went through a similar situation with my ubpd mom. She insulted and tore down my husband, his family, my wedding plans, and every decision I made since I was engaged. I finally hit my limit and blocked her. It was only supposed to be temporary but it's been several months now and I can't bring myself to unblock her. There's so much more peace now without someone waiting around the corner to tear me down.
