I meant to post this in here rather than the BPD forum .. but I’ll leave it there too
 I’ve been doing some “self analysis” today - my brain hasn’t been attacking me so much so far today as to make this impossible Eating berries Eating chicken pie

Took a hike. Stood my ground with my girly friend who always wants me to get a makeover. I like how I look and have no desire to change. I think I look pretty. Told her that. I know she says it from a place of caring, it’s what she does for herself when she needs to feel better. But when she pressures me into it, it feels like she’s saying I’m not good enough.

I have watched Mary Ellen Copeland’s WRAP video on YouTube. I’m symptomatic and watching it always relaxes me.

I spent time with my in laws that I only see twice a year. I didn’t want to stay that long but it was better than staying in the house moping all day.

I’m in the midst of creating a new delusion to live in.
Just now selecting and prioritizing the people that I’ll allow entry. I know how it looks, I’m just being careful in populating the world. I try to stay busy.

Enjoyed a cup of coffee on my back porch, went for a run, and did some journaling. Hubby is taking me to see the new Star Wars movie this afternoon. First time out of the house since being let out of jail Tuesday.

Geez. That doesn't sound very nice. I wonder if she feels insecure and somewhere in her mind she's thinking she'll feel validated if you do what she does. Just a thought that came into my mind. |

- had a cup of coffee sitting outside
- adjusted morning plans to better accommodate things that needed to get done - came back to this forum (TBD if that's good or bad... I don't know if focusing on this too much is going to help or harm me, but I'm in a weird place mentally and not sure what to do.) |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
