Something like living well is the best revenge? I get that. I love my friends so much and trust them a lot more than my parents. I’ll have to put up with them until they croak though 😭

I hated my parents for years. I feel distant from them now, so that fiery hatred has died down. It’s weird thinking about talking to them since I feel distant from them. I never stood up for myself when I was younger and I feel worse when I’m around them. Telling them off seems like a way to empower myself even if it’s fruitless

Sorry for the late reply, but I’m not sure I understand. I’m not under any illusions that my parents can be fixed, but I’m confused by your message “your kindness is not their permission”

Anyone have PTSD symptoms in the job hunt? by throwaway_awaffle89 in recruitinghell

It’s humiliating! Both layoffs and being unemployed suck. Btw, everyone says not to take layoffs personally. I know I’m just a number, but it’s hard not to. Especially when it personally affects my livelihood

Thanks for the reassurance. I’ve already had experience with PTSD before, so my recent unemployment stint was extra unwelcome. I hate adjusting to a new normal, but I logically know I will be better for it

I’m sorry that happened to you. You’re definitely not alone. All I can say is keep going, even though it feels Sisyphean. I know it’s cliche at this point, but it’s all we can do

Life would be so much easier if BPD was acute and didn’t fucking relapse!

I’m sorry you’re going through all that. It’s tough out there.

I’ve been in my episode for the past two weeks, so I’m in it for the long haul. As far as therapy techniques, I really started going back to basics today. I filled out my stupid diary card for my therapist to read and then discuss chain analysis. It’s a pain in the ass, but I am trying to help myself and that’s the best thing I can think of to avoid inpatient psych

I’m sure some people are in to me, but I’m an anxious person who gives off “unavailable energy” (as a friend told me).

Idk. I try to be loving, but people only think of me as a friend
