Doing better

By better, I mean that I haven't experienced any emotional breakdowns in almost a week, and I am not struggling (too much) with feelings of loneliness. Going to try to maintain this low level of emotionality for the rest of this week: These are my "baby steps." Happiness will be the ultimate goal.
Thanks for this!

Am almost afraid to say things aren't too bad right now, almost good. I am healing and moving around now. Am due to get my ride back soon. Housing is def gonna change for the better real soon. Am cared for and loved and understood by "family" around me. The judgement has stopped. Came through intense back surgery better than could have dreamed of. People around me really care what happens to me and want me to be happy and accepting. All these months and years of baby steps have moved me forward to another place in time now. I feel that I have actually moved forward along that journey and have gotten past the fork in the road. Was stuck at that fork for a long time, and can now look back on it-which is weird!!!!. Am so afraid to take the next steps, but also must believe every step is now a new and exciting step for me. My life is better and I am becoming more whole and less fractured than ever before in my life. Hope this makes sense to someone else. There is fear and panic along every step tho, darkness around every corner, and ghouls waiting in my sleep still......but this too shall pass as I move into the sunlight and back out of the shadows.....I want to bask in the sun again and grow.
Sorry about the rant!!!!
Thanks for this!

Is that Last Resort by Papa Roach? I must admit I can sooo relate to that song! Pop in the chat room on here if you feel bad I've found it really useful

A bit more insight at the moment, found the energy to take my dog buddy Sammy to the dog park. Actually spoke to another dog's person briefly. (I am not chatty at all with most people, ever.)

This is productive today. It's ok.

Having some good insights today, but I'm weepy and unmotivated. Had a T session yesterday, so this is the day things start to come up for me the most. It seems like everything is a trigger these days. This is really hard!

...so met someone I thought understood...well, he said he did, but just found out his opinion of people with BPD is....less than flattering. Now, I feel betrayed although he's not really important enough for me to actually FEEL betrayed. Just the residual, and the reminder that I can't really trust anyone.

I tell myself, no worries.....but it hurts a little just the same. I just don't understand people who pretend to 'get it'....but really don't...and rather than ask, they tell others so it comes back to you, that they are obviously clueless.

Oh well. Nevermind.

My head hurts and I feel too much and too little.
My best friends birthday is fast approaching and I'm starting to think I won't be able to handle it. I miss her more than I can say

I know how you feel. I recently cut loose a long-time friend who claimed to "get it." She was a heartless *****.

I believe the only people who really "get it" are the people who have it.

Me too! I listen to that song when I'm upset along with Otherside by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Always by Saliva.

Do you have the album? It's great. When I need angry songs I also listen to 'Feelings' by Offspring and 'Knives' by Therapy.

too many moments of holding and biting my tongue today.....there's got to be a better way....really there's got to be...I hate this, but when I am close to honest with people, I am the "crazy" one...,
example: H is really acting and sounding like a 2yo while we are out doing chores today, does this a lot. I quietly say: that's cute the first time, but not now.....H: "What's the matter are YOU not feeling well, why are you so grumpy? I say: Stop, let's go finish up what we're doing. H: more 2yo acting/talking. I: ignore....
I feel like I am the parent in most of my relationships, it sucks, I hate it, and I am p.o.d
GRRRRRR

Feeling a little down. Sometimes I randomly think of things people have said to me that have deeply hurt my self esteem. I've been off my meds for almost over a week now because they've been causing acne, which I have suffered for many years now. I finally have clear skin and I'll risk "getting better" for that.
Another thing, I feel so isolated at uni. I hate everyone and I feel like everyone hates me too, even tho I've never interacted really with anyone...so I don't know.
*trigger*
Sometimes I feel like there's no point. Life is all about the people you have supposedly but I have no one. I will always have this concrete wall that separates myself.
I used to be so optimistic, I used to think people were full of good. Now I'm filled of hate and ugly inside to out. But in a way I can't really blame myself because people have treated me like dirt. Some days I don't even think it's a personality disorder. Some days I think I'm just a ****** person and these are the consequences of my ****** behavior.

I went for a drive and spent most of it yelling at the idiots on the road. (Use your verdammte turn signal!) The evening was stressful, and I had to calm myself by using some unhealthy coping methods. And I took my sleep-aid too late, so now I'm up later than I should be. All in all, I've had much better days.
