BPD Support Thread

Such a beautiful song. When I hear it, my BPD is always like, "Yes, this is what I want in a relationship...gimme, gimme!" Lol. Then it's like okay...now back to reality...

I hope you feel better soon too

Thank you. I imagine it'll be a few weeks until my brain has fully recovered, but physically I'm fine now.

"If you are happy, you are successful"...agree or disagree?

As a future psychologist, I could totally pick apart that statement lol.

I've been happy in failure, and unhappy in success. So, hard disagree.

 

[Aurelia]

I would start off with what happiness is even being defined as in order to compare it to something else...and the same goes for success. But yes, using the most basic definitions of these, unhappy people can be successful sometimes, and happy people can be unsuccessful. So whoever said that is a total dumbass.

Hey, at least one of us still has a brain. And it's not me. lol

Lol well I don't do much that's deemed successful but I can still be happy sometimes.

So I came across my old NA sponsor at my store today. Thinking of attending an NA meeting with her and trying to start building up my social circle a bit more.

Disagree.
Success is not necessarily a gateway to happiness. Though a great deal depends on how one may define success.

If by success you're referring to something that is materialistic, then no chance as that to me can be considered as being ephermeral at best. If however, you can achieve at state of mind which delivers calmness and contentedness and so peace, then that could be considered a success in achieving happiness.

If you're happy then that surely is a success in its own right as I'd imagine most people's goal in life is to be happy.

That is so true, though many tend to trip themselves up by failing to see that as they tend to get blinded by matters pertaining to avarice and desires

If you're in a split, do you tend to lash inwards or outwards?

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I'd rather take things out on myself than others. But part of me also feels I deserve it.

 

[Aurelia]

Inwards these days. But outward in the past.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I'm getting to the point where I want to cut a lot of people out of my life. If you don't value me, I'm done.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I feel like I want to just go away. I don't know if I mean just from this site, from the internet of the whole, or maybe even life. Maybe I'm not ready to die yet, though. But I feel that I'm not important to most people so why do I even bother anymore?

Because you're strong and resilient and can make it through more than you realize. You just need to set some clear goals for yourself, I think, and see them through.

Maybe but I feel like it doesn't matter anymore, nothing really matters.

I've had a few people say they'll hurt themselves if I disappear. But they don't see why I want to leave, or even try to understand how I am hurting. It's always about everyone else, and never about how I feel. I'm just kinda done with it all. It's my bad though for thinking anyone cared.
