Most nights when I can't sleep it is become things I did in the past come back and take over my brain. It causes so much anxiety and shame for myself. The past few months have been worse than ever. I'm so consumed by these thoughts that I often wish there was a machine that would erase all those bad memories. I'm even scared seeing people if there is a bad memory attached to them from 10 years ago. I'm sure they have forgotten about it, but I'm convinced they haven't. Makes it so hard for me to move on with my life. So maybe it is a BPD thing. I honestly re-live the things I've said every day. Totally understand how you're feeling.

This sounds
very familiar.
I also feel like I can't even speak right. Like, every time I open my mouth to speak to people, I stumble over my words like my tongue is too big for my mouth or something. RAWR! I'm cool, really, I am, and I have interesting and even witty things to say. But then I stammer and mess up the things I say and I sound like a dimwit or a 6 year old when I'm really actually a nearly 35 year old woman and somewhat intelligent (not trying to be cocky, but I'm
not a dimwit. Just sayin'). Un-freaking-believable.
