      Is extreme right and wrong the logo colours of Collins dictionary? Some tripe about the oxygenated and deoxygenated veins, doesn’t look too dissimilar to the wonderful story of the human body, by ‘an unknown author’; I mean, who puts a picture of a galleon in the front of a science book and a picture of a modern holy trinity as the opening logo?
      Is it a narrative of people taking the wrong fork in the road and deciding to fashion themselves as alcoholic beverages, priests and holy ghosts? If only I could fit into my father’s Masonic apron and cotton gloves, I’ll have a look and see what else is hiding in his suitcase…gaffa tape?, old tights? Garot? In fact Carey’s seen that character hanging around outside of her bedroom window when she was 13, sitting on the wall and getting his leather gloves out of his suitcase whilst staring at her window; or maybe he was looking for my sister. I bet he recognises himself on the gramma phone.

    I was diagnosed with BPD after i had a mental breakdown after my husband left me. I was in the UK and put into a mental health faciity for 30 days. All the staff loved me and even had me descalate drama between patients. They said i was okay. But i wasnt. I hid. I even created an alter. I became vegan and exercised all the time. Like wtf? Eventually toward the end of my stay i started smuggling alcohol. I came from a 3rd world coutry. So i had to leave after the divorce. There is no help here. I have to self medicate to get through after a bit. Im good for a few weeks but something small can throw me off. I hate my life so much. I use to be such a beautiful soul..now i feel sick to even look at my face. I have no one. No relationships. And all i wish for is to have help. I will die in this country. So i drink myself everyday. That keeps me not face reality. My poor parents. They don't deserve this.

      Don't say that about yourself. I feel the same way about myself as a BPD. You have been conditioned to think that way about yourself due to your surroundings. I was abused by a malignant narcissist, was raped, saw a murder, had a sociopathic wart latch on to me and copy everything I do wanting me to die in the end, and none of it registered as dangerous when it happened. I thought it was just every day life. Well it isn't. And all that shit sucks. But you don't deserve to feel this way. DBT helped me so much. And I go to 2 therapists and a breathwork healer. But this DBT workbook is only $15 and it can really help if you can't get what you need in your country. Please take care of yourself. I've done terrible things to get attention because I needed help and was afraid to ask and then put faith in what felt normal because I didn't feel like I needed to exist anymore (narcissistic folks love borderlines and vice versa.

      Boys want a woman in a relationship that acts like their mother and girls like their fathers a mirror reflection of childhood family relations. Borderline and narcissist parenthood’s set a marker for how they think they should be treated. Princess personality, women that like to be treated badly because of a verbally abusive or aggressive father. Perception of how different cultures act in their families is interesting from the black stereo type of hard love get your own to very emotional Hispanic culture of doing everything for your kids.

    Interesting. I do fit the lone wolf masculine borderline type very well. I didn't know that was a thing. I think of myself as having a strong sense of morality and justice, so it hurts to hear that I'm also a transient psychopath. I never entertained such a horrible idea before, but I have to admit that it makes some sense. There's a persistent internal war in me. I'm fighting with everything I have to keep the demon at bay, because I hate it, it's wrong, it's evil, but it keeps emerging in times of extreme distress. Maybe the strategy is wrong, it shouldn't be fought, it should be integrated. It's just trying to protect me, very badly and wrongly, but I believe it doesn't have ill intent.

    • @EmmaSees888

      I feel very similar. Masculine, lone wolf. The psychopath comment really hit me 😂 I grew up with an idealized self as someone emotionless and high in morals. The ideal had to be completely opposite from my abusive mother… But I’m constantly at war with my evil, emotionally unregulated, affection-seeking true self which is much like hers. My emotionless ideal has definitely helped me keep my explosive emotions contained more often, as opposed to my more social borderline friends who would attack anyone, anytime, as I would normally withdraw and punish myself instead, in my youth. I do think I’ve gotten slightly better over the years due to journaling, meds, therapy and now, Sam Vaknin. Hope to keep developing.

    Whenever I hear about the decline in symptoms for people with BPD later in life, I wonder how much of it has is associated with avoidance. Including children they may have growing up and leaving, or not.
    For 8 years I practiced avoidance, and not knowing what I had (BPD), I thought I was over it all and healthy.
    Soon as I got involved with someone again, BPD back. Now it is affecting me in regard to my children, because they are teenagers.
    I just want to get to where they are grown, grieve for whatever it is that I must have imagined should have been different or whatever and then do whatever the hell I want. And I wonder if this is how it is that BPD is suddenly cured for some, because while I have believed it to be gone a number of times, oh was I so wrong.

So, I foolishly had been open to a new relationship back then, not out of loneliness so much as ignorance. I don’t have an impulse to find a partner for the sake of having a partner and never have, and in fact, without triggers, I’m very much like someone who is schizoid. What I DO have, now, is the knowledge that I have a personality disorder, and it isn’t going away. I didn’t know that before I met him or before I had my kids or I would have stayed away.

    This is DEEP and you feel sorry for these ppl...can they really help something that they don't even understand or know? And I wonder if this means that this is why we (the sick) don't learn from things we go thru... Because the emotion and feelings don't last so we can't really remember the feeling of the experience. Like almost dying do to reckless driving or continuously hanging with someone that is dangerous to us physically.

    Can more than one self states be in the driver seat at the same time? I have not heard you mention this yet, but I have a friend that I believe has this and I have witnessed him talk to me in a psychopathic state and be in a histrionic state texting at the same time.

    I’m confused about one thing. In some clips, it’s claimed that BPD diagnoses are split about 50/50 between men and women. In other clips, it is claimed women make up the majority of BPD diagnoses. Are there statistics for this one way or the other?

    This was hard to watch. I wonder now if she is BPD, or NPD, or psychopath. She is grandiose, dripping with conceit, but I think that is to hide her true self. She mirrored me, so I guess I fell in love with myself though I thought I loved her. I was with her 11 years, but I never truly knew her until I got out and stopped lying to myself.. trying all that time to get back to the golden period when all she offered at the end were breadcrumbs to keep me in.

    Has anyone figured out why it’s sex that’s so commonly used to regulate?

    • @RobertLivingstone-tc8ox
      @RobertLivingstone-tc8ox 8 месяцев назад +5

      Sex releases feel good hormones so if the person perpetually always feel empty sad bad inside then sex is a relief to finally be liked for something meaningful ad enjoyable. But right after the act is over is when the emptiness returns so there needs to be constant sex with new people because the old people might know they were hurt so it's always better to get with someone new to fill the void. The new sex partner provides relief from the pain of past sex partners rejected or abandonment. If one was sexaually abused as a child then sex becomes a part of the personality in which it is used to regulate negative feelings of self.

    With narcissism the child’s “potential self” dies and the child puts on a false self. You mentioned BPD being called “a failed narcissist”. Does a BPD child’s potential self die like the NPD child’s does? If so what becomes of their identity if they don’t take on a false self like the narcissist does?
