    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.

    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?

    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...

    I'm giving up on the idea it'll ever be better

    I was doing so well for a few months. I've been repressing my negativity and trying to be happy. Every damn day I smile all day and try to be nice and it doesn't matter.
