Bpd culture is shutting yourself down again because you relearned that whenever you speak up for yourself and defend yourself and explain your bpd symptoms everyone always finds a way turn it into you being the asshole so you regress back to being a palatable opinionless doormat because at least your friends didn't wanna leave you then

ive found that partially treated mental illness can sometimes look to uninvolved onlookers like faked mental illness.

me and my undying urge to be someone’s favorite

bpd culture is constant urge to talk a lot and overshare but being able to do it only if you’re 100% sure other person really wants to listen to you (and stopping when they get slightly distracted or you notice a slightest change in their voice or eyes or anything else)

BPD culture is seeing yourself/relating to horrible characters and people, and having others shame you for it despite the fact that you can't control that, and if you could you gladly would because you would much rather be able to fit in and have a normal amount of empathy and a good morality than relate to/sympathize with literal murderers

BPD culture is your FP making you feel physically ill.

bpd culture is going from “end of the world” to “everything is okay” in 10 minutes

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
