BPD Support Thread

[Aurelia]

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.

Fuck that, nah. If people want a "bitch and moan about BPD all day" thread, then they can feel completely free to create one.

But this one, I created, and I'm telling everyone that they're all equally welcome. And if that's not good enough, then I'm sorry, but it's just going to have to be what it is. We're not doing anything fucking wrong here.

This isn't the fucking first time that I've heard this sort of shit from others just because a few of us like to converse with one another. They immediately think we've formed our own little "clique" and no one else is welcome, which is a load of shit. When you came along, you were welcomed. Anyone else comes along, they're always acknowledged and welcomed. So I don't see the fucking problem.

 

[Aurelia]

Take even Ash600, for example. He's posted every now and again in reply to some of the shit we've said and he doesn't even have BPD. He, too, was acknowledged and responded to just like everyone else. Everyone is always welcome, but we can't force people to feel comfortable enough to talk when they don't want to.

Okay, I'm done ranting now. Gotta get ready for work. Closing the store basically by myself today for the first time so here's to hoping I don't fuck it up!

Jesus fucking christ Aurelia. I never "bitched and moaned." Whatever with you. I simply stated my opinion and only made a SUGGESTION with a bunch of "????" to be respectful, but take my words however you want. I never said you had a clique, I just said it seemed like you guys knew each other and shared my insecurities, but that's fine. I GOT IT!

Chow.

I didn't mean YOU bitched and moaned but just in general if that's what people wanted to do. I do apologize for perhaps any misunderstanding and phrasing that sentence the way that I did, but the way you made that post sound was definitely argumentative.

 

[Aurelia]

Look, @Dope, sometimes I can be a little too outspoken because my emotions tend to get the best of me (wouldn't be BPD if I didn't). And yes, I could have phrased some things differently, for sure. So I'm sorry if I offended you.

 

[Dope]

I'm not offended. I was just super surprised! I didn't feel I was being argumentative. I was trying to be supportive of the other person who felt left out and make a suggestion that could be helpful, but it's fine if it is not helpful.

Look, I run a whole forum of my own and I know things can get out of hand sometimes. No worries. Let's just start over.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I post a lot of random stuff but it's either for fun or because I need a distraction. I post it here mainly because others get it. But I don't want to scare anyone off from getting support. Everyone is welcome to talk about whatever topic they want here. It doesn't have to be in response to anything else. Just whatever is on your mind. I'm more than willing to listen.

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.

They did that test and said I don't have it but I think they were wrong. I need more tests done or something.

For a second I thought I showed up at the perfect moment. I love talking about drugs. lol.
I've realized I'm basically a manic drug addict who just wants to ride my highs and lows, but I chose a life path where that

Damn, so it's either a party in Canada or Philly. Whichever one is more crazy I guess.
Not sure if everyone else would want to join us, though.

I'm p close to Canada...but Canada is huge so I could still be too far.

 

[Sevven]

Just here to banter and whatnot. About anything, really. I like the mood in here.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I live near Canada too, about 4 hours away. But again it depends where everyone else is.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I think I'm chonk floof. haha

Sounds good to me.

There's kids continuously screaming outside. This makes me want to drink more. haha

I was on the border not so long ago....West side.
Beautiful. All the forested mountain towns time forgot.

That looks amazing

UUggghhh one my Biggest pet peeves. We didn't scream when we were little. Screaming is for emergencies. The way all these kids carry on, you could run off with one and no one would think twice when they cry for help because they're always yelping. When did it get to be like this??

Yeah, I know what you mean. And loud noises tend to get to me after a while. Guess I'll just get some noise cancelling headphones. haha

So closing procedures went pretty well I didn't have to have her tell me what to do and basically did it all myself. I should definitely have my keys and alarm code by next week at this rate. Who would have figured that I could actually find a job I don't hate and be a decent manager lol. I always thought I'd suck at it but I guess I didn't give myself enough credit.

Glad to hear it I'm proud of you.
