How I wish more people understood this.

[bargainbinbisexual]

you can always start again. clean up your socials, make new playlists, donate clothes you no longer wear. try out a new recipe, move to a new city and make new friends, pick up new hobbies you never thought of before. there is no limit to how many times you can press the reset button. it's okay to change and start over. you don't need anyone's permission to do it.

BPD is literally social parasite disease. It's a mental illness that makes you unbearable to be around if you dont manage it very carefully. For normal people after your 10th relationship with someone with BPD you start to realize unless they're one of the rare few that puts in the effort not to be toxic, you do get sick of them and abandon them because they just aren't worth it. Considering you're whining about being called a social parasite on a tumblr post it's clear which group youre in

Yea didn't read past the first line, as someone recovering from BPD I know more than you. Also, its a cluster c personality disorder not a mental illness dumbass. Since you hiding and coming to my inbox to insult me like a lil bitch are you sure you dont have BPD? I wish you well in your recovery.

Hard truth that I’ve had to confront that I’m honestly not proud of:

Constantly voicing your abandonment issues lead to more people abandoning you.

I do not mean in Serious Conversations about what you need in a relationship or anything like that - I mean when your friend plays a video game with a different friend for a few days and you feel like your world is crumbling, that is not the time to talk about them.

I understand the fear that someone will decide they are done with you. I live that fear every single day, but here’s the rub.

If you tell people “you’ll probably leave me anyway” or similar things every time you feel that fear, people will leave you.

Not because they don’t want to be your friend, your partner, your roommate, whatever. Not because you aren’t deserving of friends (you are), but because it is exhausting to be constantly told by someone you like/love to go away.

Because that is how it feels on the other end. I don’t say this to make it worse, or to make you feel like you’re at fault. Your brain is hurting you, and it’s okay to feel things. But if you find that it’s hard to keep people around you, then you need to hear that outside of things like conversations about boundaries and triggers and such, it would be to your benefit to change your language.

Instead of telling people “you probably don’t like me”, try asking. “You like me? It’s much easier for them to reassure you when you don’t start with a negative, because it puts your brain in a different mindset, one that finds it easier to believe their response.

Sit with your issues. Parent them. And when they’re done screaming, hold their little hands and dry their little faces and try to remember that you are worth being loved. I won’t say it’s easy, because it’s really fucking not. I won’t say you’ll get it the first time, or that you’ll never fuck up. I still do. But you deserve friends and partners and love, it’s just that so do they.

Thank you for saying this. Im going to try my hardest to be there when the time comes but if I cant manage it I'd rather not my cats last moments be filled with me sobbing uncontrollably, they always get scared when I cry. I always felt incredibly guilty that I thought I couldnt manage it.

So I know how you feel about euthanasia in shelters, but what about pets? Both of the cats that I've owned that have died during my lifetime died at home after a few days of refusing food. We might have gotten a traveling vet to euthanize them if they seemed to be in a lot of pain, but we wanted them to live out the rest of their lives in a place that they were familiar with, with the family that they loved.

The one that died the most recently, about a month ago, had some sort of cancer, we think. The vet we brought her to wasn't exactly sure what it was, but said that she wouldn't live longer than a couple of months after that visit. She stopped purring when we pet her maybe a week or so before she died, and stopped eating much of anything, and I wonder whether we should have gotten her euthanized. I hope that our bias of wanting to stay by her side as long as possible didn't put her through more suffering than what was necessary, but I didn't want her last moments to be stressful...

You are, unfortunately, not going to like my answer.

Its getting to the point where I dont want to make friends with anyone that doesnt have BPD because at least they understand how much pain this fucking is

[bargainbinbisexual]

"I havent seen it so it doesnt happen" Is such a stupid fucking take. I have a nurse that is anti vax. I have had mental health services that are Christian base and you best believe they tried to push prayer on me. Just because its not around you does not mean it doesnt happen refulary and I'm so sick of this shit. Listen to patients. Stop assuming were a bunch of liars then get mad when we dont trust you. If you are not what this meme is talking about dont get offended by it but dont try to fuckign say it doesnt happen when you have a lot of people saying it does. you're like the people who deny the rampant anti lgbt shit in the system and how doctors dont listen to women.

[bargainbinbisexual]

[bargainbinbisexual]

stopp omg why are primary care doctors like "girl theres nothing wrong with you" and then you convince them to write the referral and you finally see a specialist and the specialist is like "goddamn you got syndrome"

BPD: hold my beer

[bargainbinbisexual]

when you relapse it doesn’t mean you’re back to square one. you’re still the person you were when you felt recovered. recovery isn’t a straight line, it’s more like up and downs but overall the trend is going up. you may feel worse than ever but I know in the grand scheme of things you’re doing so well. i know you’re numb but I know that you can be happy again and it’s ok to feel everything at once and let emotions out healthily. through personal experience it’s better to feel something rather than nothing. although you can take control of some things, like distance yourself from emotionally draining people, you already have what u need to be happy. make sure you’re being kind and patient to yourself and don’t feel bad for doing what’s right for yourself. find joy in little things and remind yourself that you are stronger than depression because you are! although it doesn’t feel like it. don’t forget that you’re not alone and I trust that things will get better for you. I believe in you and I love you! stay strong because I know you can get through this.
