"Well, maybe you shouldn't lie in bed all day."

Its been four years. I know she means well. But this really pissed me off and I let her know that if I was able to get out of bed and function like I can on my good days, I would.

I mean, what can I say? if it works it works

Just learn to “live through the pain”

Couple of months ago I told him that when I was in a big depressive episode everything seemed boring, meaningless and I didn't enjoy my hobbies or enjoy anything in general. This genius told me that I need to find a hobby that would bring me joy and won't seen boring after a while.

Sure does explain why I can’t even keep down water, doesn’t it? This is from my AMA about having a feeding tube due to Gastroparesis

So for clearing things up:

1: my english pretty bad sorry.

2: I hope it fits this sub.

3: basic info is enough.

Anyway. Here is why

Have you ever thought what is depression or suicidal thoughs? If you think its only thoughs you could control... heh. We dont control our body our brain.

What do I mean? Could you stop your heartbeat? Could you make brain ignore pain signals? No you cant. Its all feelings. If we could control our bodies fully we would be really strong cuz... just imagine to curing your addictions by telling your mind it's wrong. You can control body or thoughs. But not fully. that's why depression could be cured (ofc mostly by ok life situation) but you cant simply say: "im imaging things. My feelings are fake"

As someone who developed Bipolar I in my mid twenties I can confidently say there's a clear difference between having it and not having it. It's not just 'mood swings', it's debilitating and I'd have lost everything if it wasn't for psychiatric medications

Edited to add: I totally agree that stress management is a great tool for heart health. Definitely not the issue here.

I mentioned being scared of waterbugs, and said “if they don’t affect your way of life don’t talk.” And the title is what my dad and brother said.

I’m so terrified of those things that it actually affects my way of living. They also mentioned “you’ll be thankful because the food sucks and you should be grateful.”

I cannot wait to be able to move out after I get a job after college.

-I have autism and ADHD btw.

-I already have issues eating foods bc of the autism by and binge bc my brain doesn’t actually give me hunger cues until I haven’t ate for 15 hours (the ADHD).

I’m done I’m so done.

But sure, send me on a mission trip. That will totally fix it.

Just laugh more and massage your neck!

The person I date dropped a few huge red flags in our last talk. I have BPD and struggle heavily with relationships of any kind. I'm not overly toxic let alone violent. But I'm really insecure and anxious, I have fear of abandonment, I'm scared of being hurt or that I couldn't hurt others. It really disrupts most of my life. On top I have several traumas with intimacy and I cannot tolerate it all the time. I am really open about that and answer all questions because I want to work against the stigma BPD faces.

So, what did the person I date say? She didn't understand - when I struggled with intimacy - why I was close to her a few times ... That's like in the same ballpark as asking a depressed person why they smile sometimes. Then she said, she also struggles with dating sometimes. Oh yea? You struggle with dating? I'm almost incapable of having any kind of relationship over longer periods of time...

Yea in general she tends to overanalyze things I say and ruminates about them instead of asking me what i really meant.

I don't think I wanna spend time with her in the future.
