I have been having the strangest experience since I was 19. I am sound asleep, probably during REM, when suddenly I become aware there's a presence just outside my range of sight. So I try to open my eyes and turn my head (body, whatever movement is necessary), but I can't. At this point I begin...

Oh gawd! Here we go again! :roflmao:

Thank you!!

Hi Crystal1234 In answer to your first question, no, you did nothing wrong. My husband/caregiver often has to push me into doing things I'm not comfortable with because of - pick one...anxiety, shame, fear, guilt...you get the idea. Sometimes I enjoy it while others, not so much. Btw, he sounds...

I already have night sweats. Post-menopausal, gotta love it! Nothing like a two degree comfort range. 70 to 72 degrees F. Anything outside of that, and I'm either an ice cube or a flaming ball of pure crabbiness. No in between. LOL!

Soooo...*HIC!* does it *HIC-HIC-HIC-HIC-HICCUP!* (OW!) ever stop? Or in the very least go back to normal for me? Usually I only get them when my daughter does. Seriously! LOL!

*HIC!* Oh my! *HIC* Oh dear! *HIC-HIC-HIC!!* Anybody else suddenly *HIC* get more hiccups than *HIC* usual? *HIC* I mean, *HIC* really? *sigh* So far so good. I can already tell the difference in my mood and I slept 8 hours last night, as opposed to 4 or 5. Stupid Hiccups! :rolleyes:

This makes perfect sense to me. When I first began therapy in 2003, after a couple of sessions my therapist very nonchalantly handed me a book called "Understanding the Borderline Mother". I was underwhelmed. I had no idea why she did that...until a few days later when I started thumbing through...

Saw my psych today and I'm starting Abilify tonight at 5mg in addition to Wellbutrin, Viibryd, and Klonopin that I'm already on. I'll post again in a couple of days....

@lostforgottensoul I think I understand why those with bpd don't get help. I think, at least in my mom's case, admitting to herself that something was wrong would make the horrors she endured growing up real. If you don't talk about it, it's easier to tell yourself it's not real. Heck, I never...

Wow @TreeHugger. I had a cat once who was sensitive to earthquakes but never my horror movies. Lol! I'm with you though, the satanic ones are too disturbing for me. Frankenstein, Wolfman, The Creature From the Black Lagoon....all classics. I'll also watch anything with Boris Karloff, Christopher...

Oh, it was definitely not managed, and still isn't. She has always refused to admit she has a problem. I know a lot of people diagnosed BPD, and I do not equate them with my mother. Since she technically has never been diagnosed - she also refuses to seek help - I suppose technically, she's...

I have entire collections of old horror movies. I even share a birthday with Lon Chaney, Jr. LOL! Most of them are in black and white, and I especially love the old silent films such as Nosferatu. My theory as to my love of these films is that in the end, the monster always dies. Now if my...

@EveHarrington It's my understanding that it was deemed the word 'borderline' was too confusing for everyone, patients and doctors alike. Having been raised by a mother with that particular disorder, I'd say emotionally unstable is a waaaaaay better description. I call her "Tornado Mommy"...

My idea of a home is very different than most, I think. Like you, it has always been an issue. Over time, I have found positive ways to view the concept. When people ask me where I am from, I always answer, "everywhere...and nowhere" because for me, it's the truth. At the moment I live in...

It's your thread, Moon, so rant away! Lol! Seriously tho, I'm new to this forum but it's not the only one. On sites like this, I think a ranting introduction gets to the heart of the matter as to why you came here in the first place. We may have the same condition, but we are all at different...

do do da doot doot..... I thought I should update this. Today I feel more like myself, whoever that is...lol. Why I posted what I did as an introduction, I don't know. Temporary insanity? Nah. That's 24/7/365. Nuthin' temporary about that. I think I was merely expressing my undying fear of...

Hi Moon! I don't know much about narcisscism but I've done EMDR on and off for years. The devastation you describe after your session happens to me, too. It gets better. It has worked wonders for me, but it's not easy. Recovery never is, I think. I have a 32 yr. old daughter and a 23 yr. old...
