Exactly! I just don't want them to do the opposite of the symptoms, I want them to make me feel better by understanding me not treating me like a patient. It's complicated…
Thanks for this!

When you're having a phone conversation, you get angry/upset when the other person has to hang up.

When you go from adoring...To hating...To missing... To adoring.... To thinking "F**K YOU" to the same person. All in the same day.

When someone makes a minor but incorrect assumption about your plans or thoughts, and you react by getting up in their face and screaming "Well, if that's what you think of me, then ---- you!" into their nostrils instead of just calmly pointing out the mistake.
Thanks for this!

Of course the worst part is, and another thing that is part of being BPD is that I'm beating myself up a lot for not continuing to obsessively create art. :/
So true. But you can only this for so long. This realization hits you when you need to go out and do a job.

And then you get self conscious about how many times they say it. And then you get self conscious about how much you need to hear it. And then you REALLY don't believe it. Repeat.

I'm not borderline, but I think my wife may be. I see a lot of these posts ring true in how our "arguments" go. I really do love her. Even though she says things that she thinks drive me away. I try and tell her, it's like she has roller skates on and I am a wall. When she pushes me away, I'm not really moving. I'm still here.

When you periodically go through periods when all of humanity, save a rare few, is something you want to be as far away from as possible.

when you talk about your issues and upsetness with a person... with the actual person... instead of somebody else ending in losing that person usually ><

When you feel like you're not really getting along with someone close to you, so you panic and start to fear abandonment. Even if it's over nothing.

And then the abandonment happens because you acted way over the top.
