What if having #Borderline meant we are living a #Dream ?

Living with #BPD feels #hollow as  #emptiness engulfs us. It occurred to me, that perhaps the #thousands of #bpds are living in a #Dream ., an #alteredreality .  If our#Reality ,is a #Dream then #others cannot be a part of it. Hence no #Understanding . Being alone in a #Dream . It's just that. An altered #r .eality. A #Dream  . No one can join another in their dreams.

Accepting Differences: 3 ways to be more accepting of others

#Acceptance #recognition #others 1. Remember to breathe,if people are irritating. Don't let my thoughts be focused on unkind gestures of lashing out inflicting harm on those that annoy me.** FACT: Recognition- annoyance is temporary. I have NEVER actually lashed out and inflicted harm. Just thoughts. Couldn't actually hurt people,I'm afraid of violence..

2. Let people do what they do. It might bother me,that it's not in line with my preferences, I have no say. Not my life, no, my business. Release the need to get upset. If I don't want roommates...then work on finding a place of my own...If I'm not willing to...Then SHUT UP and deal!

3. Don't take offense when someone has a negative opinion of others...when I admire them. Defending them to the derogatory remarks of jerks...90% of the time makes no difference. They have no valid reason for their statements. They just don't care to change or try to see things(people) in a different light. Just accept this in them. Know I will not change their opinions. I won't waste my time with reactions. Try to respect the disrespectful. Don't write them off as being all bad. Just because they may be cruel in one aspect,they usually show you their good qualities in another.

Others are probably jealous #others are probably jealous

Isn't it interesting that if we're blessed to have blonde hair we pay and change it to brown, black, or better yet one of the colors of the rainbow. If we have amazing curls we straighten those puppies out with an iron like no tomorrow and if our hair is already straight we run and get a perm that's right we always want what we don't have and yet the grass still won't grow any greener. I sometimes adopt this attitude that others should be jealous of me, ( NOT) in a sorta lol in my own head kinda way. It's my own little way I've sorta came up with if you will of a way to laugh at myself and my illness so instead I poke jokes or sarcasm at it reminding myself that I have grown so much over the years of hells of ups and downs of roller coasters that my family and especially my husband who himself has a new condition he's learning about I've put him thru so much riding my roller coasters and he still keeps the oil changed for me that's a real marriage. But the growth I do value the joke is a joke there's nothing to be jealous of as growth could've come about numerous other ways just God had my path carved this route and I'm to walk it my job now is to learn how to best walk it with some stumbling blocks . Sometimes yes I love being bipolar and the hypomania but proceed with caution because it's a calm before the storm kinda thing so my like of it has been dissipating for some time now and depression, well woe is me is only fun for a while, the racing processing I get me but not sure if you do is another and hard to explain so .. but the previous things leave very little room for any remote true jealousy but to keep it real since my struggle or different helped me grow and learn I'm jealous of you people that grew a little bit at a little bit younger cuz I love now the insight I have from mistakes I grew from. I'm so jealous already of my future mistakes LMAO aren't you! It helps me accept that although I won't make mistakes on purpose I will inevitably make them so plan on it happening in advance type thing duh cuz were all human that includes me and yes , you so no jealousy k. And ok no comparison either ! Lol

Small Things That Make Me Happy

Watching a child tie their shoes. Watching an older person enjoy eating French fries. Waking up in the Spring to the songs of birds. Freshly fallen snow. A hot cup of tea. Baking and cooking for others. Being creative.
