Autistic BPD culture is seeing a character in a tv show/movie that you are obsessed with, and getting so overwhelmed by the emotions you feel when you see them that it triggers a meltdown (just happened)
.
OCD symptom i struggle with but don't see talked about a lot: inability to trust your own memory and/or perception.
as an example: i put my headphones in my bag. i say im sure they're in my bag, but what if i imagined putting them in my bag? i have to check, so i stick my hand inside and grab them. but then i have to check *again* because what if i just so happened to have another object shaped and sized exactly like my headphones that i just forgot about? so i have to pull them out of my bag and look directly at them to fully confirm they were in my bag
this is a fairly benign example but this also happens with other worse scenarios for me and it's. not fun
shoutout to weird kids. shoutout to the guy who’s worn a cape to school every day since 6th grade. shoutout to the freshman who brings a stuffed animal to school & uses exclusively it/its pronouns. shoutout to the ppl who dye their hair a different color every month. shoutout to the girl in my econ class who wears the same hoodie every day. shoutout to weird kids. i love you.
Interactions you've had if you're cluster b:
"I'm so worried they're doing that so sabotage me or manipulate me!"
"Why would they do that, people don't even really do that plus their your friend!"
"........" (I would do that)
BPD culture is getting a dry message from someone and thinking "Am I being annoying again?" or "I should shut the fuck up"
.
its always "mental health matters" until you start showing symptoms.
bpd culture is saying shit like “i’m starting to realize they made me worse” everytime one of your fps left you and then realizing that up to 80% of bpd symptoms go away when not in a relationship so yes, they did make me worse, but it isn’t any fault of their own. they were literally always destined to make me worse.

wouldn’t it be cool if i could just ask “hey do you still like me” without literally wanting to eat my own organs out of shame
nd culture is feeling like everyone hates you and not understanding why
