I'm new here!

Hi, my name is PEEPplezer1313. I'm here because the more I learn about my BPD the better I feel about managing it. I only found out about this disorder 2yrs ago when a toxic relationship with a narcissist favorite person had me so confused hurt desperate to understand his behavior and his silent treatment hot cold etc...I ended up also learning about myself that my thinking and actions fell in line with BPD .I have been misdiagnosed most my life as bipolar depression but that was only one small piece of the puzzle that makes up my mental health ....Its not a magic potion but it feels less hopeless now that I can identify it I can research and try things to feel more in control of my emotions ....I been too emotional my life .Some people can hide their sadness their joy etc but not me everyone says I wear heart on sleeve, I over give over do get too attached fall too hard n fast and one extreme to the other . I always knew I felt things deeper and more so then most people. I cant handle witnessing a child or animal being hurt mistreated cux I feel their pain as if its happening ti me prompting me to cry or yell fight off their attacker save them .....the memory of what I saw happen will continue to replay in my head ....im hyper vigilant like I feel responsible fir making sure everyone else is OK safe warm fed happy.....I do so much for people I love and I never get that treatment back from s guy I attract bad mean guys with no feelings or heart thst lie trick and manipulate. Im empath s Pisces and anxious attachment style I attract narcissist and avoidant attachment styles or emotionally unavailable men .....the opposite of what I need ..I realize now thst im drawn to dysfunctional men because it feels like home...my dad my brothers my family , we fall fir familiarity and the only things familiar to me from my childhood and up are not very good things .....But how do we train ourselves to become comfortable around the type of person we know we deserve and need ? I freak out when a guy compliments me because im not used to hearing it, dont believe it and feels suspicious like a trick being played on me.....on the other hand If the compliment is genuine it feels good and id like to welcome more positive talk from a man if I wasn't so socially awkward and shy quiet.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is rooo0214. I'm here because I am a 22-year-old completely disabled by a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and hyperadrenergic POTS. I have zero income, have filed for disability, and my household relies entirely on a fluctuating waitress income that leaves us unable to cover basic monthly necessities.The Impact: Due to my neurological injuries, I have experienced a 40 lb weight loss and severe orthostatic intolerance (inability to stand or sit upright without dangerous adrenaline spikes). We are currently down to reusing paper plates and skimping on grocery trips to keep our only vehicle legal for medical transport.direct Request: To minimize physical energy expenditure and prevent household disruption, I am seeking direct assistance exclusively through digital gift cards to offset our immediate budget deficit:Groceries/Dietary: Walmart, Wegmans, or Sprouts (to sustain specific neurological dietary needs).Medical Travel/Gas: Standard gas station cards (to ensure transport to distant specialist appointments).Essentials & Pet Care: Amazon, Target, Petco, or PetSmart (for cat litter/food for two companion cats and loose, accessible clothing).#MightyTogether #TraumaticBrainInjury #Hypersomnia

Support Ava's TBI Recovery/POTS Journey

In 2025 Ava was in a car accident that left her with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that the hospital did not catch upon initial visit. After months of severely declining in health and trips to the hospital the diagnosis was the TBI, which had also cause Hypersomnia and Hyperadrenergic POTS. This causes a constant extreme level of exhaustion, inability to stand for prolonged periods of time, increased heart rate and heart palpitation, muscle pain, memory loss, excessive daytime sleeping, dizziness and vision loss upon standing, etc. It has taken over a year to nail down the diagnosis and proper specialists and the recovery road is going to be even longer. There are still tests to be ran, specialists to see, physical and mental therapies, IV infusions, etc, to get to. This is going to be a long journey and any support aleviates stress on Ava and her family and allows her Mom the time to take her to and from doctors appointments.

DON'T BELIEVE EVERY THOUGHT

Depression has a way of making every thought feel like a fact.

It tells you you're not good enough. That things will never get better. That you've already failed. And after hearing those thoughts over and over again, it's easy to stop questioning them.

One of the biggest turning points in my own recovery was realizing that I didn't have to believe everything my mind said. Thoughts are automatic. They appear without permission. But just because a thought shows up doesn't mean it deserves your trust.

If your inbox was full of spam, you wouldn't assume every email was important. You'd learn to filter it. I think our minds deserve the same kind of scrutiny. Some thoughts are worth listening to. Many are just fear, self-doubt, or depression speaking.

The next time a painful thought appears, don't ask yourself, "Is this true?" Instead ask, "What evidence do I actually have for believing this?"

That one question can change everything.

What's one thought you've learned to stop believing?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

MS summer meltdown stories — How does summer heat affect you? Got any true-tales or words of caution for others?

My then-girlfriend and I took an easy 1-mile hike in the Smoky Mtns. during May. When we started, I felt perfect. Halfway through, my mind grew foggy and my legs turned wobbly. I shambled and got dragged by my girlfriend a half-mile back to the car. Sat in the car air conditioning afterward. Good thing I had an appointment scheduled with a neurologist back home. Also, married that girl!
