Struggling with Attachment Issues and BPD

saage

I have bpd and I was wondering if anyone struggles with attachments issues? I often have intrusive thoughts that my fp dosnt like me when they don't reply for awhile or lack a certain amount of enthusiasm I have- sometimes my intrusive thoughts lead me to overshare or put myself in a bad mood and I hate it :( how do you cope?

      @saage if someone requires to sacrifice those vital parts of yourself, parts you've fought for, is the desire worth it? The feelings are real, I grant you that, but love/sex/infatuation should not cost that

      As I understand it, BPD is a disorder that stems from insecure attachment so it 100% makes sense to have attachment issues If it helps at all, dialectical behavioral therapy is usually the first-line treatment for the thought distortions that happen in BPD. There's plenty of self-guided DBT worksheets available online if you think that might help

      Can I ask how old you are? For me, this is something I mostly grew out of as I became more comfortable in myself. And honestly, when I overshare or say something awkward or inappropriate, I just get real and tell the person that I'm working through some mental health stuff that makes socializing a challenge, and most people have really appreciated that transparency

      that's such a vibe. I have hella attachment issues always. The way I cope is to honestly blast music in my ears to attempt to drown out the ibtrusive thoughts. It works most of the time, if that doesn't work I usually color and listen to rain and storm sounds and go into a smol space and that usually helps. 🤗
