4) You know you are Borderline when...

When your T tells you they're leaving and you have to wait a year for a new T and you immediately think they're leaving because of you and they don't think you deserve therapy.

you have one of those rare good days, and you cant help but want to hide in the corner and wait for the inevitable... for it to all blow up in your face!

Crap bag!! That happened to me 7 years ago...and that was BEFORE my dx!!! Or at least before she told me what she thought the 'problem' was...can anyone say 'running for the exits??' .....hmmmm

When popular vote goes the opposite direction from the way you voted, and your instant mental reaction is, "OK, then, I suck, or else I would have voted the right way. They must all think I'm an idiot."

If someone of the opposite sex is interested in dating you, or if a company is interested in hiring you, you automatically wonder what's wrong with them, because something must be, or they wouldn't want a kook like you.

Oh my gosh, yes!!!

So true

When you write a post and then you have the urge to delete it.

When all you ever do is compare yourself to the rest of your family that is successful and wonder why I got the reject gene. I always get to congratulate everybody else for accomplishing things, while I hide away.Why me? I just want to belong.

Cry when you can't see your therapist the next week but are automatically ok when you realize that "Hey I can actually see her and everything's fine"

Let's see. When you had been going somewhere with this one friend on a regular basis, then one day you're not in the best mood and you ask if they're still going to that place, but they answer with "maybe, why?" and you just snap, saying something like "fine, I sense you're not in the mood to go with me anymore."

That actually happened. I had just told another friend I wasn't going to be their maid of honor, so I was already upset. I had been going to this church with another one, and one day I asked that and that was my response.

Maybe you all relate?

when someone says, 'you're being a drama queen.'

When every argument or disagreement with your bf has you convinced he's done with you. So you spend hours anxious and crying only to find out you're not an ex gf but rather just a complete idiot!

**TRIGGER WARNING**


When you're in a total crisis situation to the point that you're making plans, but you don't get help, not because you don't want the help but because you know if you can hold out for just a half hour or so the feeling will be gone.

When you think every one is being total a-holes

This just happened....sigh.

When you look on the forum for a post you made yesterday and can't find it (the one above). You feel they must've pulled it even though you placed the appropriate warning and the paranoia begins instantly along with the heart palpatations....and then you realize that you're looking at the wrong thread.

yup. but not about being a maid of honor

You read someone's post as aggressive when they are just trying to help

...when you hurt the ppl you love most

allme: we've all done it..like the scorpion it's 'in our nature'. The trick is getting to the other side of the river without succumbing to the need to drown the fox...we all struggle with it and sometimes, sometimes we actually get to the other side.

Try to focus on that, if you can.

I will try, thank you

Allme and everyone. I know hateful anger is in our nature. We instantly lash out when we're hurt. I've hurt many, many people that way as I know everyone on this forum has. Luckily, my anger doesn't seem to last as long as it used it. I usually lash out and am instantly sorry.

This is something I came across. A reminder of sorts. Try to say it when you start getting upset. It won't make everything better but it may help give you a little perspective when it's really needed: ("x" is the person)

"Just like me, x is seeking happiness in his/her life."
"Just like me, x is trying to avoid suffering in his/her life."
"Just like me, x has known sadness, loneliness, and despair."
"Just like me, x is seeking to fill his/her needs."
"Just like me, x is learning about life."

Thanks for that

...when you blame yourself for someone else's actions

....when you suspect someone has blocked you even though they are on your friends list
