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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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

I think you and I are gonna have to agree to disagree.

I’ve been feeling very angry and irritable these past few weeks. I think I’m becoming depressed right now and am starting to doubt myself and my intuition. Mainly because I can’t pinpoint what transpired my trauma since I was so young when symptoms started to manifest. I had to be around 4 or 5...

I was actually told by my physician that I’m at risk for becoming pre-diabetic so I’ll keep this in mind for myself.

Yeah last time I did a meditation where I only focused on my breathing, I ended up having panic attacks and somatic flashbacks. I’ve also read that that stuff can happen with Buddhist monks and it makes me wonder if those monks have their issues they need to address.

I didn’t notice a drastic change, but I don’t do that anymore.

I was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder after being misdiagnosed with Bipolar 2. I am now seeing a new psychiatrist and he’s been prescribing my medications monthly.

The fact that my mother accused me of having false memories and of being brainwashed by a therapist is an example. This was back when I was about 25 or 26. I was putting up a boundary because I was tired of being made fun of for my weight and I told her that I see right through her I see right...

I think my threat comes from the fear of abandonment, so I tend to avoid relationships altogether. Also, I feel like I can’t trust my family members based on the shady behavior from my parents. I was also diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder recently, and I’ve read that abandonment...

I’m doing a lot better with functioning now that I see a trauma-trained therapist who is incorporate DBT into our sessions. She’s also slowly introducing somatic therapy as well. I don’t really have any real life relationships other than a few family members and my roommate. My online friends...

I just feel like I’d be more likely to remember and know what jumpstarted my trauma symptoms if I developed PTSD after the age of 5 rather than before 5.
