I dont' use twitter myself though I have an account still. i can imagine it to be pretty brutal there since there really aren't any borders there or boundaries, memberships and such. Just one big open cluster-you-know-what of people blabbing their mindless drivel about what they think everyone else wants to hear. yeah no. I wouldn't go there for support hun. Nor FB or anything like that.

Social media and I don't get along.....at all. Understood.

Facebook is the online version of the "water cooler gossip place". lol

I only use it to do activism, not self-help. Ppl there are very good at ignoring us and making fun of us there. (my theory)

ayup. I use it to post my unimportant gaming screens and non-life related stuff that's not going to get me in trouble or reveal too much about me

Haha, I like them both some days, just there is not the support there.

I enjoy the banter I have with my friends on twitter it never fails to lift my mood.

Facebook how ever I really hate it when people moan all the time!!
When they have nothing to moan about... They don't know what to have for tea etc boreoff.

Come here where people have real problems.

If you see my profile on there to the one I have here, completely different person!!
THE MASK. I hope some day they both become one. And it's this profile that matches up to my other profiles

Also, where ppl actually talk about them instead of just making fun of them. lol

People who call themselves "normal" have problems; they just don't talk about them and they look down on others who do.

My thoughts.

No argument here. I'm of the mindset that everyone does have their own set of mental and/or personality challenges but they are either in denial or try to hide them if they are aware, afraid of the stigma.

I grew up with what I'd truly call a family of neurotics. Did any of them actually get any help? no they were too busy pretending things were ok.

In my case, in my family, being "abnormal" was severely looked down on. My dad knew something was desperately wrong with my mom (who I severely suspect was BPD herself) and actually attempted to get her help back in the early to mid 70's when most of psychiatry was not looked upon very favorably. He'd go up to her and basically say, "You're crazy woman; you need to see a shrink." at which point she would blow, they'd fight, she'd throw things, he'd leave, and she'd drink.

I wasn't allowed to discuss my family issues, and subsequently, my own. Because of this, I was able to convince myself for a long time that I was okay, not much different than everyone else. Everyone had my issues, they were "normal", or my issues didn't really account for anything in the first place. Occasional suicidal idealization, inabilty to socialize, and overly thinking everything was the way everyone was, or at least it wasn't ever worth bringing up.

I was forced to look at the depression and anxiety aspects about 15 years ago when I almost lost my job over it, and when I discoved BPD years after that, when I had a major resurgence of "traits" due to a relationship I put my foot in, the first time I'd attempted a new relationship of any kind since college, I felt both total panic and relief at the same time. It fit me perfectly...I'd had every single BPD trait at one time or another...but I was no longer "normal"!!
