    BPD Controversial take, but as a Borderline I’m tired of people making excuses for their disorders.

    I think I’m more referring to people who go throughout their lives ignoring feedback from the people around them. This isn’t pertaining to cases where manipulation, gaslighting, grooming etc. occur within close knit families or groups. I can still see your point though and I’m sorry that this...

    What do you think about the phrase 'trauma doesn't define you"?

    I’ve had PTSD since I was 4 or 5 and went through chronic dissociation in my early years. My whole brain was in survival mode for decades. It’s one of the reasons I have Borderline Personality Disorder because other than that I don’t have a sense of self. That’s not to say I make myself a...

    BPD Controversial take, but as a Borderline I’m tired of people making excuses for their disorders.

    I think it’s always a case by case basis, but if multiple people are saying you’re coming off as manipulative then the issue is probably in you.

    Sufferer where do I begin

    COCSA (also known as child on child sexual abuse) is a terrible thing to go through. I’m so sorry this has been your experience. I think you need to forgive yourself if you feel like this is your transgression. It’s not your fault. You could have never predicted this outcome. Plus you were only...

    BPD Controversial take, but as a Borderline I’m tired of people making excuses for their disorders.

    When I say this I’m talking about other Borderlines. I have increasingly noticed that many people will say they aren’t being manipulative when their actions still come across that way. You don’t have to be intentionally manipulative to manipulate someone and coming up with excuses as to why just...

    Depressed, empty, and a loss of friends.

    Thank you. Honestly I was getting tired of tiptoeing around everything. This was on a Discord server where everything had to have a trigger warning and you couldn’t dare slightly shift from the far left. Unfortunately for them I’m very blunt and straightforward with my thoughts. That didn’t...

    Depressed, empty, and a loss of friends.

    I feel nothing but numb. Even when I lose friendships I can’t feel anything. I was kicked out of a server I was part of over a misunderstanding and now I’m here. My DBT exercises haven’t been utilized either and now I slipped through the cracks. I think this place would be a better fit for me...

    I need to rant about my family and the dynamics that are going on. Also, am I wrong to want to cut off my enabling grandmother?

    Ok boomer And if you know anything about Cluster B personality disorders then you should know that trauma isn’t a requirement for them. That’s a misconception.

    Therapist wants to treat me with EMDR after several months of using DBT skills.

    I’m nervous. Can someone tell me what it’s like? Did it produce flashbacks for you? Has it not worked for some people?

    Therapist says I’m unlikely to have a repressed memory come up with EMDR and I don’t know whether I should be relieved, disappointed, or frustrated…

    How could you tell if they were real or fake? Also did they come back after a session or after all the sessions were done?

    Therapist says I’m unlikely to have a repressed memory come up with EMDR and I don’t know whether I should be relieved, disappointed, or frustrated…

    I’m getting closer and closer to being ready to undergo EMDR. I think what frustrates me is that I don’t know where the trauma originates from since I’ve lived with symptoms of childhood PTSD my whole life. I wouldn’t know how to target any big T traumas when I don’t have a definitive memory to...

    I need to rant about my family and the dynamics that are going on. Also, am I wrong to want to cut off my enabling grandmother?

    I was too young to remember so I really have no idea. My mother did have me babysat by this one family while she went out to work. So I don’t know if it had anything to do with that.

    I haven’t had a refill of my mood stabilizers in weeks and I’m starting to regret it.

    I was misdiagnosed with ADHD as well. Turns out I’m most likely a Borderline, which is even worse lol

    Everyone ends up mistreating me no matter what.

    I have educated myself on it. I also happen to have BPD so you demonizing people with personality disorders has actually managed to make me feel worse.

    Everyone ends up mistreating me no matter what.

    I’m tired of being nice or honest with people because I end up getting shit on anyway.
