what is wrong with me?

what is wrong with me?

I have recently been going through a break up. Six months in and i still cant return to work. my whole world has smashed into a million pieces.

The relationship was never smooth sailing and i am begining to wonder if what i thought ws a small issue with depression and anxiety is actually something on a bigger scale.

The more i read the more i am starting to think i may have BPD.

I am always completely irrational, my x always told me i was delusional on a regular basis and swears things never happened that i was sure of.

I am impulsive, it has ruined my life. I have an uncontrolable desire to act in the moment and it always hurts me in the long run.

I cant seem to just let my x be happy and have done so many horrible things to get his attention. i know its horrible but for a micro second i feel better and keep doing it.

he kept asking me to change and i couldnt recognise that i had anything to change. but now i am so worried about this behaviour. it went on for 5 years of our relationshipandi always blamed him but now iknow its me.

what do i do?

So sorry it didn't work out today @kcd. Please try to see this as a glitch rather than a rejection. The fact she wants you to come back when she has time is actually a good thing. As for today happy birthday. What can you do that makes you feel ok just for today. Last night I was in your headspace and I managed to say tonight I didn't care and just self indulged in chocolate and lied in my bed chatting on here. I threw everything else out the window and it helped. Is there anything that you can do today that would just be about you and stop you from worrying about everything. Maybe watching your favourite movie, going out for a coffee and cake (birthday cake), relax in a shower or bath using nice smelling soap or whatever it is that helps to relax, then keep finding these activities all day until the day is over. Tomorrow will be a different day but at least today for your birthday you will have had a day for you regardless of what else is happening. Good luck. Sending birthday wishes💜😊💐🎉

happy birthday. Are there any activities that will help you ease your mind? For example some meditation. The smiling mind app is really good you can download it from the App Store. It has some meditative like exercises in it. In regards to your GP appointment would you be willing to see a different GP or alternatively as she suggested come back as she may have needed you to book a longer appointment to discuss your matter.

Hey @kcd. I know where you are at. I'm in my third year of it and it's hell. I don't often manage this well eitherq. I guess my thoughts were that just for today try to take your mind off of everything, celebrate your birthday even though you don't feel like it. Maybe it will help you waking up tomorrow and maybe it won't but you will have today. It's a hard slog some days wondering what it's all for but others days there are glimpses of light. It sounds like you want to try and make your life better which is great. It will just be a slow process but ultimately worthwhile because you are worthwhile. I guess from my perspective from the forums I see others ahead and that gives me hope, I get support from others and that gives me motivation and I have a therapist that is working with me and that's what keeps me going, knowing I'm working towards getting better than I am even though much of the time it doesn't feel like it. Hang in there @kcd. You have a way to go but you will get there too. 💜😊
