I am back (TW)

@juliak1968

I understand that!

__ your 38 and older!

Nauh I don't know you😂

I'm sorry that being manic can be a good thing work wise but also be overbearing emotionally wise 😓

@ClassicAnonymous17

Ive slept 12 hours, i must have needed it. How are you today? There are two football games today, then just a couple more and the winners go to superbowl 55 (LV). My freinds son in law has caught covid 19, now i hope they are all very careful. I have health problems so i worry.

@juliak1968

Goodness 12 hrs of sleep sounds WONDERFUL!!!

I only got 4 hrs last night.

I am sorry to hear about your friend son-in-law testing positive.

I understand you worring. Makes sense. But nauh I'm a germaphobe!!!

Before my toddler I didn't think too much about it now After having a kid. Sends me in a panic!!!

Super bowl 55👏🏻👏🏻

@ClassicAnonymous17

When my children were young i used to panic about all the possible ways they might get hurt in our home, so i childproofed extra well, i even invented some saftey caps for things like bleach, liquid plumber, gasoline and other chemicles.

@juliak1968

Hello, good afternoon! I noticed a listener messaged you and invited you to private message them. How is your day going? Yesterday i cut back from a pack, to 8 cigarettes and i can see myself quitting hopefully before i move. My doctor prescribed chantix for me. I managed to stay calm and used my head to start tackling this goal the right way. I want to be able to say "Im a non-smoker" , and really soon :-)

@juliak1968

GOOD AFTERNOON 😊

how is your Monday going??

Hi so I am new here I have recently been diagnosed with BPD and I am feeling very lost and unsure of what is me and what's not I've been doing a lot of research on it and everything seems to tell me what it is not what I can do to help myself.. so I am here stuck in a rut. Any replies, or advice is so appreciated Reading this thread has made me feel comfortable about posting here so if I am in the wrong place sorry in advance 🤦

@sympatheticSky5304

Hi,

Welcome!! We are just regular folks who try to chat and learn and hopefully share helpful wisdom when ever possible. I dont know much about bpd but i hear many mental health professionals throw that diagnosis aroubd for cases that would be better with a trauma tgerapist. I think i could be bpd, lol I'm a mess any way. I have ptsd and had it so long that some other symptoms developed such as a mild paranoia, fears, etc.

Id say try to find a qualified listener or just a smart one and chat every day, it helps keep us grounded, and regulated.

Blessings, Day😊

I feel a mess on a good day 😂 I know I need to get professional help but it is a huge thing for me, the fear of it brought me here instead Thank you for the advice 🙂

@sympatheticSky5304

Any time!!

I couldnt get helped until i realized my way didnt work and i knew i needed to get out of my own way 😊

I am proud of myself for getting this far. Knowing I need more help than I can give myself or my boyfriend.

@sympatheticSky5304

Certainly, you should be proud because you knew to reach out for help. That was me about a year ago, im seeing 2 therapists now.

I know I need to speak to a therapist but long story short, my ex threatened me about it and it is fear

@sympatheticSky5304

That complicates things, is he afraid of you telling a therapist something that happened?

@sympatheticSky5304

I just realized my question may have been inapropriate. Im sorry. I often do catastrphize (spelling?)

@juliak1968

1 ) How is your Wednesday going?

2 ) Did you set any goal for Today? ___ have you accomplished your goal for today?

3 ) Pick a song for me to listen to 😊 ___ I like when we do that.

** I hope to hear from you soon 💟

@sympatheticSky5304

__ I WENT THROUGH THAT AS WELL!!!___

not knowing what was my real reactions or if I was being overly dramatic or if I was driven by some text book title / hugs!!💟 I went through that!!

I have not been diagnosed from a specialist my husband was taking psych about 3 years ago and they came across the chapter 14 in the textbook my husband came home he called me downstairs we sit on the couch and we talked and he told me I've never understood why you are so overly dramatic either you're overly happy or you're really depressed and he told me to open the book totchapter14 and we read it together and he was like when I sit in class today it was like I got to see a part of your mind and he just hugged me.

* The biggest thing I took from all of this through therapy counseling that my husband's textbook know it's okay to feel the way that you feel!!

___ I am not a specialist I am not a psychiatrist I'm a person trying to make it through day-to- day

* I hope you have a good Monday and I hope to hear from you soon

@ClassicAnonymous17

It is very fustrating and confusing it makes me feel so loss

but i am happy to know that this is a normal feeling

I definitely think i need to get therapy and professional advice

@sympatheticSky5304

I understand 👍😊 I hope you are able to find a psychiatrist in receive the advice & information you're looking for

_ how is your Monday going??

@ClassicAnonymous17

Thank you, me too

Im currently in work

Dropped my son off to playschool this morning at 9am and his dad picked him up and i will pick him up tomorrow so i will be going 27 hours without him and its made me so sad..

how is your monday?

@sympatheticSky5304

What do you plan on doing with your free time?

- besides work.

I have a toddler as well.

Little girl 4 yrs old.

My Monday is going pretty good. 😊

I am in the UK so it's 8.30pm now. I went for a run, did some uni work, cleaned and shopped and now in work. I can't sit still because I just end up crying 🤦 Mine is almost 3 and he is amazing, I don't want to be apart for him for a second and this is the longest we have been apart which gives me anxiety. Good I am glad 🙂

@sympatheticSky5304

the separation anxiety can be rough!!

😓😫

my daughter was about four months old the first time me and my husband left our daughter with her godmother

me and my husband went to the movies that was it. We went to the movies the entire time watching the movie I cried.

When we pull up to the Godmother's house I didn't even knock on the door I just walked in like I owned the place picked up my little girl and just cried. - if somebody would have told me Pre-mother me I would be this emotional over having a child I would laugh at you but the emotions are a bit overbearing!!

- you will be okay you'll get through it! 😊

-how was your run ?

-did you run because you were stressed or did you run because you were too anxious and didn't know what else to do or did you run because it's a hobby and you enjoy it?
