My diagnosis has been quite recent, must say that these videos help me a lot. I've watched/read a lot of cold research, but seeing so many things i recognize in myself in other people has a somewhat soothing effect on me. A fallback where i can pick up on some useful pointers. 34:50 - I thought i was just being ironic, but admittedly i do this too. That or 'how was your weekend?' -> 'Same as always, glad it's monday' + 35:34. I'm still on the fence what i truly want. I wanted to be a developer (or a game designer) but i just lack the patience. In terms of searching and finding information that interest me i can go on for hours and hours, forget to eat etc. I do coding, get stuck 20 minutes i'm dooooonnneee-done. No lie, you guys are funny.
This is so incredibly comforting to watch this morning before work knowing its not just me and just trying to prepare for my toxic bosses Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you for talking about this! Job instability has been a major source of shame spirals and struggling to get out of symptoms. It’s at least nice to hear about other people’s struggles with the same thing.
An awful part of working in a hospital is hearing the conversation and names that behavioral health patients are called when they come into the hospital emergency room for seeking care. Registered nurses and other healthcare professionals. Call them crazies or even blame them for their repeated visits to the hospital for clogging up resources from maybe trauma victims or people who are having physical medical emergency is it’s awful
You guys are awesome. Do you have any experience with this problem? My ex has BPD and addiction. We didn't know about the BPD right away, that was a year and a half in but I found it Another year and a half and I was able to at least get her to wrap her head around it She was arrested six times in that first year and a half with me and spent the rest of that time pretty much in jail in prison However understanding the BPD now for the first time when she got out she made the right choices She went away from her stomping grounds got into meetings therapy work and school She is still sober and I'm very proud of her however she did decide that she wants to be friends now so I don't have the same access to her life anymore The personal problems aside, what worries me is that she's in the pink cloud now. Her symptoms are substantially less but they are still there She has a therapist but it's not BPD specific therapy and actually hasn't even talked to him about BPD So my concern now since she has so much going on and put BPD on the back burner I'm worried it's going to blow up one day again. I understand feelings equal facts and she truly believes she's going to be okay now. So any thoughts on how to realize that the BPD is still there even though the drugs are gone and you may not feel like it is?
Hn. After a whole bullshit ordeal, I walked out on a job I'd worked at for three years. Manager said the drivers didn't want to work with me anyway, because I was scary. I thought we were something like friends, so ouch.
I’ve never said anything majorly horrible to anyone so I can’t relate to that bit tbh if anything it’s people who don’t have box I have met that can be cruel and ignorant
