Hurt.

The worst part of being hurt has to be that you never know when you’re going to stop hurting. I fell for someone hard. The worst part is that he went along with it when he had NO INTENTION to reciprocate the feelings. Well he did reciprocate the feelings to a degree…. but then it all changed. I feel like I have experienced some great loss. Like it’s crazy. I know with my BPD I get attached to people very quickly and this is no different. I opened up, he acted like he understood and felt similar…..only to end up now barely communicating with me at all. I always wonder…..why am I not good enough?  

So now I’m done. I don’t deserve scraps. I don’t deserve those little breadcrumbs that he is giving me to hold out hope for something that doesn’t exist. 

But here I am, the one up at 4am cause I can’t sleep, my brain won’t stop. I know I have a lot of healing to do within myself. I can only hope that I will eventually find someone who accepts me for me. But this hurts so fucking much. To open up to someone under the guise of “building a foundation” only to be shut out and feel like suddenly they want nothing to do with you. Like I needed you. I needed your friendship above anything else. But I’m not even good enough for that. But I have to feel the pain, instead of numbing it, like I always do. I’m proud of myself a little bit that I didn’t turn to binging last night to numb the pain. I just distracted myself until the urge passed. 

I need to let this go. I need space to get over him. It just hurts to think of what could have been, that never will be. I just want to feel secure enough with myself that the validation comes from myself and not someone else. I often times look for validation from other people, particularly men. Which in and of itself is sad.

One day at a time.

Am I Ever?

Am I ever going to not be broken? Am I ever going to be able to look in the mirror and not loathe what I see? Everyday I get up and I try. I fucking try. But I’m lost. I feel like I’m walking around aimlessly in the dark, trying to find my way, but there are dead ends no matter which way I turn.  Am I ever going to make something of myself? Be proud of myself? Achieve success? I want so badly to heal. I want to not feel like this everyday. I don’t understand why or how I got to be this broken. Everyone leaves eventually. Even the ones who promise to stay. I feel numb. I don’t know who I am. I keep seeking validation from others rather than finding it within myself. How much more can I take? I always feel overwhelmed. Like I can’t breathe. I don’t want this illness. I don’t want to be sick mentally anymore. No matter the combination of medication I am on, nothing helps. There is just endless darkness. I just want someone to understand me, but there is no one.  I just wish I cou...

BPD and Relationships.

 Has anyone else tried to build a relationship with anyone and then realize 1. It’s so much work, and 2. Every emotion that comes along with it is like exposing a raw nerve.  Welcome to BPD and relationships. Interpersonal relationships to be precise. Or really relationships in general. Why are they so fucking hard for us (the people with BPD)?  I will tell you why: 1. Fear of perceived or actual abandonment. 2. The need to be validated. Constantly.  3. Not knowing yourself. So if you don’t have a sense of who you are, how can you build a healthy relationship with someone else? 4. The thoughts of not being good enough for anyone. I have a person in my life, whom I ever expected to meet. Wasn’t looking for anyone, definitely didn’t think I would meet someone where I ended up meeting him. What am I doing? Trying as per usual to fuck it up. Cause why do I deserve to be happy? Why do I deserve to be cared about? Why do I deserve to be loved? They’ll just leave eventually...

Who Am I?

 Is it normal that I have no idea who I am? I am 37 turning 38 in December and I feel like I don’t even have an idea of who I am. I mean I have some sort of idea. But for the most part I just wing it on a daily basis. I try to be a good human being. I try to guide myself based on a set of beliefs and values but, it’s hard because I really don’t feel like I know who I am most days. I feel like my beliefs and values are shaky. I have this emptiness that I don’t understand but that I am so used to. That is the daily struggle. Trying to guide myself to be a “good” person.  I don’t know what it would be like to wake up and not have mental illness. It is like it is a defining characteristic. I have struggled for 30 yrs with mental illness. I am tired. But finally being diagnosed with the right mental illness has helped, to a degree. A couple years ago after seeing psychiatrist # 4, I was finally diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I always knew that I have struggled with...
