Relationships

hey.

i’m new here and honestly, i don’t even know how to start this.

have you ever cared about someone so much — someone you’ve never even met in real life — and it just hurts because you have no idea if they feel the same?

there’s this guy. i met him online months ago. we send each other cute messages, share songs, joke around in ways that make my heart ache in the best (and worst) way.

he once called me “precious and cute” and i literally smiled so hard it hurt… and then cried later because i didn’t know what it meant.

he’s always out with his friends, always surrounded by people — especially other guys — and i just feel... alone.

i don’t know if he talks to everyone like this or if i’m somehow different.

because if i am, maybe there’s something real here.

but if not... then what am i doing to myself?

i’ve written songs for him, shared music just hoping he’ll listen.

sometimes i post stories just for him to see.

i know it sounds like a teen movie cliché, but for me it’s so real.

and i think i’m starting to lose myself in this maybe-love, maybe-fantasy thing.

but i can’t let go.

not yet.

if anyone out there has ever felt this kind of quiet heartbreak, or just wants to talk, i’d love to hear from you.

maybe i’m not as alone in this as i think.

thanks for reading

#Love #Relationships

We can make marriage work even with DPD by leaning on each other in a healthy way and learning to find our own independence too. It's all about open communication, supporting each other, and figuring out a balance so we’re not just depending too much. It might take work, but with love and patience, we can totally build a strong relationship! #DependentPersonalityDisorder

Yeah, lots of us with autism get married! Relationships might take some extra understanding, but we can totally have awesome connections and find love, just like anyone else. It’s all about finding someone who vibes with us and accepts us for who we are! #AutismSpectrumDisorder #AspergersSyndrome

Dealing with the fear of abandonment can be really tough for us with BPD, but one thing that helps is reminding ourselves that not everyone is going to leave and that it's okay to trust. We try to take it step by step, sharing how we feel with people we care about and letting them show us they're here for us. It’s not perfect, but little by little, we learn to build that trust. Your thoughts on this. #BPD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder

Relationships can feel like a wild ride for us with BPD, since our emotions can hit hard and shift fast. But things like therapy have really helped us figure out how to handle those feelings better, set boundaries, and connect with people in a way that works. It's not always easy, but we're proving that good relationships are totally possible! #BPD #MentalHealth #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #PTSD #Anxiety #Depression

Hi, my name is mari101_2000. I'm here because I think online support is critical. I'm a 48-year-old mom of two. Brittany is 28 and is on the autism spectrum and has PTSD. My son, Tyler, is 24 and diagnosed with bipolar and ADHD. He is unmedicated by choice. He's been sentenced to three years for probation absconding. We don't have a relationship at the moment. I've been through a lot of trauma, I'm either MDD or Bipolar 2, and I don't know why they can't tell the two apart. I have CPTSD, depression, and anxiety. I also have a chronic illness.. I have very bad gastroparesis, and it's really affecting my life. I also have horrible arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back and hip pain. These are the things that I'm struggling with. Brittany had a baby that she'd worked very hard to bring forth. She had Everleigh, and she was a stunner. Five weeks later, she died of SIDS. So we are all grieving her. Also, we lost my mother to Alzheimer's about 6 months later.

Sorry, I just spilled my guts. Hope to make some connections!

What It Is Like To Be A Young Catholic Married Woman Who Is Autistic And Has ADHD

Emily smiled and said a prayer as she headed to her wedding reception after her wedding ceremony. While she did so, Emily couldn’t help but reflect on just how far she and Jonathan had come to get to this point. For one thing, Emily was beyond grateful for this miracle blessing because she felt like the counseling sessions and positive coping skills that they were given in them to overcome their issues were really working. Not only that, but Emily also could not help but believe that the power of prayer and their Catholic faith is what helped God heal their relationship and lead them to marriage.

Just as Emily expected, she and Jonathan’s wedding reception went very well. It consisted of a wonderful pasta feast and a praise and worship night. Not only that, once the night was over they headed to Disneyland where the two of them spent three amazing days watching mini Princess Musicals, sightseeing, riding rides, and enjoyed the ocean.

Oh and the two of them even ended their honeymoon by going to church and giving thanks for all of God’s wonderful blessings and prayed about their future together. Then immediately afterwards they went to her parents house and his parents house to say hi and pick up stuff for their new apartment, before going out to dinner at a pizza place. It was a lot of fun and they absolutely loved every minute of their day, which they naturally ended by unpacking while listening to their favorite worship music.

Just like Emily expected, the first year of their marriage turned out to be beyond amazing for her and Jonathan because they stayed very
busy helping out with bible studies at church together, making worship music and taking walks together. Now the reason why the two of them felt this way was because these activities were always very fun and exciting and they absolutely loved each moment that they got to spend together. Furthermore, during the first year of their marriage Emily and Jonathan often had an amazing time leading praise and worship nights together, which is why they decided to celebrate their first anniversary by doing exactly that. It ended up an incredible celebration that included a breakfast burrito feast as a way to finish out the night, before everyone headed home and thanked God for all of His wonderful blessings.

The End

Hi there. I’m new to this community and i was diagnosed with bpd at the beginning of the year. I’ve REALLY been struggling especially with the concept of having a favourite person. I’ve always been independent and now the fact that I’m consumed by my relationship is soul crushing. I hate relying on him solely and I love him so I want to get better by somehow decentering him and not having a favourite person anymore because it isn’t healthy and I feel awful every time I blow up his phone and make him feel guilty because of my emotions. I also want to be better for MYSELF. I want myself to be my favourite person. I’d like to meet you guys and become friends with people who understand.. are there any books you can recommend reading that help you manage overcoming a favourite person and finding yourself?
