    What do you do when you only feel good cutting or hurting yourself?

    I signed a lease to live with one person in a 3 bedroom house and our work schedules are opposites so hopefully I'll be alone more. I try to relax and meditate and stuff but it never works I just end up making lists of stuff that needs done or fixating on arguments or stuff like that. I've tried...

    Help ASAP (flashbacks and intrusive resurfacing thoughts)

    I am currently at work and things were going okay but I realized my birthday is in less than a month. For context about 9 or so months ago I got high with a friend and a bunch of represented memories of child sa resurfaced and I have been trying to deal with it but it's really fuzzy on a lot of...

    What do you do when you only feel good cutting or hurting yourself?

    I Time is a luxury I can't afford. A little more trauma is worth being away from people I can't stand them no one can be trusted. I'm irrelevant I just need to be successful then I'll feel better then I won't need people and no one would be able to hurt me.

    What do you do when you only feel good cutting or hurting yourself?

    I know what I'm good at and what I'm meant form idk how to challenge the thoughts I've been taught to believe that since ten. If I don't do this I won't be able to get my own place. I just want an apartment and a dog

    What do you do when you only feel good cutting or hurting yourself?

    I thought about it but all the days I'm off at my work I'm "entertaining" gentlemen for money. Because it's the only way I can make enough to escape the living situation I'm in. By the end I'm exhausted and sleep all the time

    What do you do when you only feel good cutting or hurting yourself?

    I wish I could have a dog they always clear my head but all the apartments in my budget won't allow them. Its just hard being surrounded by people when all I want is to be alone or with something quiet or non judgemental. I miss that look in dogs eyes when they see you and their full of love and...

    What do you do when you only feel good cutting or hurting yourself?

    How are you supposed to coop when people have pushed you to the point that nothing else works? I try the breathing and CBT and DBT stuff and it doesn't work. People make me so frustrated and mad and I can't just snap at them because then I'm the bitch so I keep my mouth shut and then it builds...

    Is it disassociating to invent new worlds?

    I have always been told I'm creative and people asked about my drawings and the world's I created and I always thought that was normal but apparently it's not? I can spend hours or days imagining them and vividly coming up with every detail. I've written histories for imaginary worlds because...

    Humans can't be trusted and are not worth interacting with.

    But I don't have anything I can control. My insurance lapped so I can't go to tharpey, my job doesn't respond to my emails or calls after medical leave due to a attempt and my "friend" who let me stay with her doesn't listen to anything I say when I have issues. We live in a one bedroom house...

    Humans can't be trusted and are not worth interacting with.

    I don't understand what to do tho. I can't stand people anymore and I've decided I'm not going to pursue any "meaningful" relationships anymore but I have to learn to interact with them to find a job or something. I'm tired of people making false promises and honey words that lead to nothing but...

    Humans can't be trusted and are not worth interacting with.

    But compassion leads to stagnation. If you don't hold yourself accountable and strive to be better at your role your failing anyway? If you lax your expectations people including yourself take advantage of it. I don't understand.

    Humans can't be trusted and are not worth interacting with.

    I snap at others and get mad and what is common sense to me is apparently expecting perfection from others and I don't understand. When I'm depressed I apologize and acknowledge my inferiorities but then they get mad and when I'm upset I'm condescending or being bitchy. Im a bad person because...

    I'm a bad person. I'm broken and selfish and a mistake that never got erased

    Humans can't be trusted and are not worth interacting with.

    I don't understand how you can feel that way? Everyone I've ever met has been in it for something. People are judgmental and cruel they don't want to help anyone but themselves that's why they degrade anyone who's different and broken? How can you say theirs grays when it's never been seen in my...

    Humans can't be trusted and are not worth interacting with.

    My therapist and I have been talking a lot lately about trust and forming "meaningful relationships" but it feels like a waste of time and big risk for small payout. I know my BPD and PTSD have made trusting anyone with my emotions feel impossible but is it not true? When she explains things...

    Avoiding health care because you feel you deserve whatever condition

    I can understand those feelings to a point for me it's more shame of the condition even more so for mental conditions. I haven't been to a dentist because of the shame of my teeth being a mess and feeling like a failure for not taking care of myself. It's hard to ignore those feelings and...

    Childhood Was I being a tease?

    No you weren't a tease or anything like that. I can relate to you so much. I was assaulted at 10 and raped 3 times as an adult. You were forced and no one deserves what happened to you. You were a child and it's their fault they assaulted you. I know it's horrifying but women who are assaulted...

    What did you clean last?

    I've been helping my friend organize and clean her house. I kinda forgot how much I feel accomplished when I look at a clean space. Plus it makes me feel useful.

    How do you deal with distrust and loneliness?

    I'm 31 and a transgender woman who has been abandoned by friends 3 times and I've accepted I'm not meant for real relationships but I have been feeling increasingly lonely lately and I don't know what to do. People can't be trusted and they always leave so there's no point in trying to form...

    BPD How can you trust people? (BPD)

    They tell me they want to help and they want to listen then I tell them and they leave. I don't understand what they want to hear and don't. If you say you want to help them back out don't offer to help it's just a lie at that point. If they push and push then back out I just stop opening up...

    BPD How can you trust people? (BPD)

    I I hate groups I can't trust anyone. Not really most of my hobbies are solo stuff and I don't show anyone because they'd just make fun of me or judge me

    I can't have a dog because of where I live and I don't think a dog shelter would let me volunteer because my schedule is crazy 😞

    BPD How can you trust people? (BPD)

    I feel broken all the time. I feel alone and that makes me want friends then they leave and that hurts so much I stay alone and it repeats but now I've stopped trying to make friends because it's just to much of a risk I can't be fixed and I don't know what to do
