BPD Support Thread

This definitely explains the differences between narcissists, psychopaths, and sociopaths very well.

And yeah, based on that definition, my ex...definitely a sociopath.

I get the difference between all of them more now. Is there a "worst" of those, or is it hard to choose?

I would say most definitely the psychopath is the worst of the three. But the other two aren't pleasant either. And like she said, all psychopaths and sociopaths are also narcissists, but not all narcissists are psychopaths and sociopaths.

Yeah because aren't the psychopaths like serial killers? If I'd have to choose I'd rather be a sociopath. Because emotions may be limited but at least you have some.

Right. Thats why I think he was still capable of some form of empathy and possibly even love (albeit, only his own selfish definition of it, but still better than what a psychopath would probably do). And I know that he definitely went through a lot of traumatic shit that made him into who he was before the age of 15, like she said in the video. He definitely doesn't have all the qualities of a full blown psychopath, though, so I'm going with sociopath.

In some ways I've wished for that because this rollercoaster of emotions is way too much. If only I could be somewhere in the middle but that doesn't happen easily.

Yeah I've definitely wished for it before too. Pretty sure he doesn't even really know what fear feels like. I told him that, and he agreed that he basically doesn't. But realistically speaking, we do need to feel fear every once in a while because when you don't, you do a lot of reckless shit.

It would suck if there is a spiritual afterlife and I still have BPD and drinking or whatever won't work. I'd just be like...make me alive again. lol

Lol yeah that really would be fucked, wouldn't it? Thats why you should just go with the flow and enjoy life while you can as much as you can because for all we know death might be even worse. I don't personally believe that it would feel like anything in particular but beliefs is all we really have to go on rather than facts so no one can really say for sure.

It could be especially if nothing works for BPD. A literal eternity of that shit? I'd be asking to get reincarnated all the time. lol

You know what kind of annoys me? People who use Google assistant to text 24/7.Like, you're really that fucking lazy that you can't even type it out yourself? And then moreover, they complain that it doesn't catch what they're trying to say in the correct way. Well, then how about you stop being a lazy piece of shit and fucking text like a normal person? I could understand of you're busy or driving you don't want to be doing that, but all the time???

I do that if I'm drunk or something, but honestly it's not gonna make heads or tails of what I say anyway. lol

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

That reminds me of the other night when I made videos of myself talking, and I really don't understand a thing I was saying.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Omg there's this commercial for this penile condition, and it's like "go to bentcarrot.com". That made me wheeze laugh. lol

You guys, I'm sure I speak for both @Witty⭐️Sarcasm ⭐️ and @Gwyrdd when I say that NONE of us would EVER want any of you to feel left out. We just talk a lot and tend to overshare because we're trying to waste time and/or distract ourselves. But anyone, and I mean ANYONE is always welcome in this thread as well as any thread on SF. Please don't ever feel left out. We love you all.

I don't come into the thread often, or it doesn't feel like it because once I come back, there are pages I have to go through of a conversation between a couple/three people that seem to know each other well, so that's probably why others might feel left out. By the time I want to insert anything, the conversation has moved way beyond the subjects being talked about. It just feels awkward like you're some kind of dope bringing up something in the conversation that is long gone--"errr, duhhhhh...Yeah, that thing you said about the snowman with the missing teeth, that was so funny...heh heh..." So, why bother? I don't want to look like an idiot. I'm too self-conscious. Or, if you actually want to start talking about BPD, it seems like it's breaking up the "fun" talk.

Maybe there can be two different threads??? One for shooting the shit and one for actual BPD "support?" Just a suggestion. But what do I know? I'm a newbee stranger.

They said I don't have pernicious anemia, but I feel like I do because all the B12 in the world doesn't seem to help. So I hope they can figure this out at some point.

Pernicious Anemia means you can't absorb B-12 in your stomach so you need shots. You can swallow a shitload and it won't help you. You need a special test to find out if you have it. It's called an Intrinsic Factor. It's a timed test, so it's pretty specific and many docs don't know about it. A blood specialist doc or a rheumo may know more about it, so you'd have to ask for it specifically. I had it and took the shots for about a year and it helped me a LOT. It's a dangerous illness and looks a lot like MS. You might want to rule that out too with an MRI. If your MRI is okay, look into the PA because they def look similar.

 

[Gwyrdd]

What would you choose?

This one isn't even about substances to me, but its definitely very BPD and reminds me of Frank a lot.

Well, I do see your point. Everyone is welcome even days later. I personally think the "group chat" feel makes it more inviting, like we're BPD, but also just normal ish people too?

Either way though, that's purely my opinion, if everyone things a support only thread would make people feel more welcome I can't see that being a bad idea.

I started this thread as a method of support for people with BPD, but that doesn't mean that BPD always has to be the subject. Support can simply consist of talking just to talk. And to be honest, @Gwyrdd and I have actually only somewhat recently met. So no, we don't all know each other as well as you're probably imagining. And who cares if you mention something a few pages back? I do that shit all the time even when I see that there are a few pages between @Witty⭐️Sarcasm ⭐️ and @Gwyrdd that happened in my absence. So I'm sorry, but just because you're self-conscious (which we literally ALL are in here) and don't want to contribute as much to the conversation, doesn't mean we should all have to limit what we talk about or how much we talk. I'm not trying to be inconsiderate here, but thats how I feel about it. This is how we support one another; we talk about anything and everything, which was the very point of this thread. And if you want to get to know any of us on a more personal level, shoot us a PM or DM, just like I did with @Gwyrdd . It's not like you start off knowing who someone is unless you actually take the initiative to reach out.
