BPD Support Thread

[Aves]

My mom is trying to convince me not to get this apartment and save up more money, and I can't really tell if that's good advice or she's just trying to keep me in her clutches lol. So don't really know what to do. Because I mean, what if she's right and I end up losing my job or something? I could always come live with my brother again if that's the case, but it would also kind of tear me down to have something of my own finally and then lose it just like that. So maybe I'm not ready and should wait longer. But maybe I should have more confidence in myself, too...who knows.

Its a really annoying and cliché thing to say but you’ve got to try and go with your gut. It sounds like you’ve been thinking this through pretty thoroughly so try and trust your instincts (however I know that’s pretty hard especially with bpd ) It’s good that you’ve got that option of going back to your brothers though if it doesn’t work out.

Sounds like something my mom would do. She doesn't like the idea of us being apart.

I think it's funny that someone who can't function at all while drunk thinks I can't handle my alcohol. Now that's pretty amusing.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I mean, she almost fell over how many times...she can't even talk clearly or make any sense. Even at my most drunk, I can do that.

Have you guys ever drank the alcoholic coffee stuff? I bought a hard mocha coffee and vanilla one, they're both really good.

My friend asked if I got a lot of nice gifts, but I only got one gift, from @Aurelia. And it was awesome, though it makes me wonder if anyone else cares about me. I got 6 cards this year, last year I had more, it seems to be getting less with every year that passes. I wonder if people are just forgetting about me. My mom wants to take me and my sis shopping after Christmas, everything is half price then so maybe we'll find something nice.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Sorry if I sound whiny, the whole stretch from Christmas to spring brings up bad things for me.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

My friend is bipolar and he's actually researching BPD to understand what it's like for me. That means so much, because non BPD people in my life usually don't care enough to do that. They don't try to understand where I'm coming from at all.

You don’t sound whiny at all, I’m sorry it’s not a great time for you. I would love to send you a card next year if you would like one? I didn’t want to impose too much this year seeing as I’m still quite new to the forum

Thank you, that means so much. You're not imposing at all...it's sweet of you to offer. Maybe we can send each other birthday cards, since we're both Pisces.

I was gonna sing "Too Drunk" by Buckcherry, but the lyrics might get me into trouble, so I might stick to something more neutral.

I’ve just overheard my husband telling his mum over FaceTime that I’m so organised that all the wrapping paper and presents for my son have been put away all ready. I’m sat here thinking “yeah because if I don’t then I’ll have a mental breakdown or my head will explode” .

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I looked at your profile and your birthday is only two days after mine. awesome. And I know Aurelia and Gwyrdd both have birthdays in July. We're all synching up! lol

Ooh yes definitely, mine is on St Patrick’s Day. When is yours?

At least you're organizing it. I suck so badly at wrapping it's not even funny. Like I can't even cut a straight line.

Sorry just seen your previous reply lol

March 15

And we're only 3 years apart, but I feel like I'm 80 already. lol

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I just put stuff in a gift bag if I even give out gifts. My nephew wanted money, so that was easy enough.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I told my nephew how old I was, since he asked me. And he said "Oh my fricking God"...that explains how I feel. Of course when I was his age, I thought 25 year olds had gray hair and wore suits, so it makes sense.
