I'm crazy! I just read some other post from you. But yeah for some reason, I am inclined to like people MORE if I know that they have BPD I guess I don't like people that much where everything has worked out great for them and they have had a silver spoon their whole lives. People with BPD, I relate to the struggles they have. Many of the people I know with BPD, are absolutely wonderful people.
Thanks for this!

Okay I thought I might come on this thread from time to time and update.

Well my BPD is reasonably good these days, but I am bit stressed. My housemates (both BPD), they are female and they are having major issues with each other at the moment, over a guy one of them is dating. There are some other things, but I am a bit stressed and worried about everything at the moment. Its been a while since any major drama has occurred, but things seem a bit uncertain at the moment. I am a bit worried that one of my house mates (a mother to a lovely 4 year old girl) is making irrational decisions regarding the welfare of her child. Hope things improve. The guys they are involved with are nuts, having histories of abusing them- trouble waiting to happen basically.
Thanks for this!

I was almost ready to go on them, but then I heard the doc wants me on a cocktail of drugs and that pretty much changed my mind. Plus they won't give me the good stuff for anxiety because of my substance abuse history. I don't know why they make such a big deal about it, all their drugs are addicting and cause withdrawals when you quit, not just benzos.

I think the headaches are from the anxiety, I get a lot of bodily symptoms with my mental issues. I had nightmares last night to

So a night at my parents means a night with rubbish sleep. The pillows on that bed are the worst ever. And I couldn't breathe because I'm allergic to their cats and forgot to take my inhaler ...looking forward to my own bed tonight already!!

roller coaster of a day. my mother is ill and for some reason the rest of the family is calling me as a go between I feel so overwhelmed, I am wired, and I am angry, I am having crying fits because I just can't handle all of these phone calls.
I do not understand how I got put in this role, when I am the least capable person in this family to handle interpersonal situations. I am hardly ever "heard", I am working on this in dbt, but today... just been too much for me... hope tomorrow is quieter ...

Such a crappy day...actually crappy last few days. I really am an awful person. My husband deserves better....so much better. I just hope I haven't caused too much long term damage to him. From this day forward I am going to work so hard on changing my behaviours. I start CBT soon. I really hope they can help me be a better person. If not for me, then for my long suffering husband. On top of all the guilt I feel for my husband, I am plagued with thoughts of my past, my mistakes and all my crappy decisions. I look back and all I see is hurt and pain. When will I get to look back and see happiness? Going on my past and present, my future is looking bleak.

Well I got obsessed with the idea my bf is lying and cheating on me and worked myself all up then making him promise to never leave me. I tried really hard to fight the feelings because they weren't .based in reality. I just kept telling myself if he is then I'll just kill myself and it's fine.

Please don't hurt yourself. I know you are having a rough time but hurting yourself is not going to help, it is going to make a lot of people sad.

I totally get that feeling. Right now I am missing my mom so much. I need to be held but don't want any touch. My husband is at his second job now but before he left he felt useless as he couldn't help me.

Well, been on a hiatus from PC for a bit. I'm sort of back-ish. Not sure how much I'll be here but just saying hi. BTW for any of you who have noticed, I was off work for about 2 weeks for furlough, gov. shut down. I'm back at work again, I'm sure you all figured out by the news. So that's good.

Lost the apartment I was going to move to because of the shutdown but then talked to the management. They happened to have another comparable apartment opening up in December, so I snagged it. That's good but the only downside is that it's not opening up til after Christmas so we're spending another holiday season in the hotel :/

Feeling emotional, think it is a carry over from yesterday. Doesn't help that I am home alone, well alone with an 8 year old.

Ahh would be nice but actually it's an extended stay hotel. Not really a full-fledged hotel with all the amenities.

It was ok, short and sweet - 20mins! It was more just so she could meet me and get a rough idea of how things are and what she can do to help.

She is actually a mental health social worker and my new care coordinator apparently. But I'll be seeing her every two weeks, I see my normal T every two weeks so I'll be seeing someone alternately every week so that I have some support every week.
Thanks for this!
