Bpd related question:
(Ik I'm sorry, I should stop asking but...)
Can you please list bpd symptoms? Because I want to write that tracker but I forgot like half of the things which are bpd criteria and which are things everyone is experiencing...
Thank you (and sorry for bothering you)

Sure thing, no need to apologize, you aren't bothering us!! /g
Idolizing/devaluing
Splitting
Black & white thinking
Dissociation
Paranoia or delusions
SH and related things (i think that mental self harm counts too) (i.e., replaying bad memories to upset yourself, purposely triggering yourself, etc.)
Impulsive or reckless behavior
Mood swings
Chronic emptiness & boredom
Extreme anger
Inherent sense that you're "bad" or "evil"
Those are some of the main ones i think are both worth tracking and can be relatively easier to track as opposed to other symptoms. I hope this helps some :0!!!

questioning bpd culture is going from feeling borderline suicidal due to the amount of anxiety and self-loathing you're experiencing to being completely fine the next day
.
Suspected bpd culture is going "nope, not happening. Not real. I'm not real. Why do I feel nauseous" everytime something bad happens

bpd culture is getting annoyed when someone tells you to not do the things that make you feel like a bad person. like you think I can control it?
.
thinking about how funny it is that you pay therapists and they can diagnose you with a cluster b personality disorder...literally giving you money and in exchange you're calling me manipulative orsomething...this is making me feel so pathetic wtf I paid you to degrade me *kills mys
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
i have impulsive bpd but i only get impulses to cut and dye my hair i would never do anything to hurt anyone because i'm a good boy 😇
BPD CULTURE IS wishing that non-bpd people would understand how 90% of what people consider to be "manipulative behavior" from us is literally just.. us expressing emotions. Me expressing how I feel guilty for being so draining and apologizing for how I behave on bad days (ex: ghosting, or meltdowns) is not so I can win your affection or pity, it's literally just so I can explain how I feel in a way that you can understand me better..
It gets so tiring when everytime I try to express my own guilt and shame about my disorder I get accused of "guilt tripping" "manipulating" or "being attention seeking" instead of actually being recognized for how I feel.
Like, c'mon guys.. I'm a person too.. I'm allowed to be sad and feel lonely and feel guilty and I should deserve the same comfort/to be heard as much as someone without BPD 🥲

BPD culture is getting a dry message from someone and thinking "Am I being annoying again?" or "I should shut the fuck up"
