Personality Disorders Community Check-in: September 19th–September 25th
Hello, PD Support Community!
💜 How has your week been so far?
💜 What is something that you're looking forward to?
[I didn't have much luck finding something to discuss based on the National Today site, so this week's questions don't have any particular theme or inspiration. Happy Meow Like a Pirate Day to you too. 😅]
If you prefer not to answer these questions, feel free to say hello, ask for a hug, or share anything else that's on your mind. 💜

was ok-ish but today has obliterated me. How some can make you feel so worthless and in doing so consider or actively want to embark on a life you know you are unable to live. I’d already wanted to stop crying and dealing with what i perceive as hurt then the EG garden restructures . That’s good, but no opportunity to say goodbye, not there when needed, no prior warning, can’t say goodbye, and open again at 3am.
was looking forward to a bbq I arranged late for the last day of nice weather tomorrow. Now I’m embarking on things I don’t want. So look forward, not anymore
@LabeledBPD
Hi 💜 Sorry that someone made you feel worthless. 😢 What did they say/do to cause that, and what's the life that feels out-of-reach?
I happened to see the EG thread. I don't really use the group chatrooms so I'm not super-familiar with the situation, but it seems like a lot of people feel like they're losing their place for sharing and connecting with others, which isn't great. I hope all of the members who were connected there are able to stay in touch somehow, whether that's using the forums, joining a different chatroom, or trying to get the group mod team to set up a new chatroom.
@QuietMagic
maybe subconsciously reading your reply it set off something outside my awareness..
im just about to start something that will enable exactly that, a continuation of means of communication! Got a few of us together and we are ironing out …. Quite a bit… but the hope or very least actions to persevere without regard to it failing is not defeated until it (hopefully not) defeated.
Ive been mentoring someone at work and Monday he asked what’s wrong? You seem very despondent? To deflect I asked him if he even knew what such a word meant … he’s answerer doesn’t fit with googles definition. I may appear depressed but I’ve learnt a new word! I forget it every few hours then i remember it and it goes on until it’s a permanent resident in my vocabulary.

So far my week has been productive. I took a walk and went to a doctor's appointment, and kept up with my Therapy zoom meetings. I reset the goals I was tracking on my phone to try to narrow down my priorities right now and simplify my life. My life is really restricted right now due to chronic pain and agoraphobia. Doing physical and exposure therapy makes me want to add on more activities in my life. Therefore I have also began a 40 day social media break to see what I do/what I'm interested in if I take away that source of information. My goals vs whatever goals social media influences me to set. As someone who's always home, it's so easy to become so preoccupied with social media instead of engaging in your life. I'm trying to read again, paint again..
I'm looking forward to my boyfriend's birthday next month and I want to plan birthday/Halloween with him. I'm also looking forward to top surgery!! And being able to use more PKGO gyms for Pokemon battles as I'm able to walk further outside. :D
@StrawberryShaken
Wow, that's amazing! Sounds like you're doing a lot--keeping up with things that you need to do (e.g. doctor's appointment, therapy Zoom meeting) but then also trying to expand what you're able to do and reconnect with old hobbies (e.g. reading, painting). Also makes sense the idea of "I wonder what kinds of desires, goals, and activities would flow out of me if I wasn't being influenced by social media".
I hope the surgery, birthday/Halloween events, and increased Pokemon Go walking radius all go well!
@QuietMagic
Thank you so much!! I hope the rest of the week goes good for you too
