How do you learn to live with chronic depression? there isnt a single day in my life where i dont feel like shit
No. 2311119
>>2311094You stop letting it win. My life was ruled by psychic tension for almost 7 years, but then one day I just got tired of it. I decided that instead of wasting my life feeling sorry for myself, I'd just get real instead. I went to the doctors, got on pills, starting going to regular therapy with a psychotherapist, and started attending support group meetings. I repaired the relationships with friends and family that years of my inaction had damaged, I started pushing myself to engage with hobbies, and I forced myself to begin taking actions that benefited my health. Sometimes, I still have bad days, but now I know how to cope with those and how to pick myself back up after I fall. So much of depression is just refusing to get back up. For me, it was because I didn't believe in myself or recognize my strengths, so I was always just waiting for someone else to come along and save me from my own juvenile misery. That gets old after a while, especially when you get out of your early 20s. I'm sure you already know about all this advice, if you're like I was, you're probably just gonna look the other way and pretend like what I say is unachievable or cliché. I always felt the same, I never wanted to admit that I was the problem, that everything that bothered me was in my power to solve, and that I was just lazy, juvenile, and selfish. It's not the 60s anymore, we have such a wealth of knowledge and treatments for depression now. You're not special for being depressed, you're not getting anywhere by being depressed, you're just wasting time. Sorry to be blunt, but if someone had told me this shit back then I would have appreciated it.

nonny, the problem is that i feel like no matter how much i put into something i never get better. I have been trying to focus on hobbies and friends and recently enrolled into college but i dont feel any better tbh, if anything i feel worse.
No. 2311149
>>2311127Nobody can save you except yourself. Some people have it easy, some people like us have it more difficult. When I first started medications, I went through 6 different types in the first 18 months before I finally found one that works for me. I've gone through 4 different psychotherapists, and only after 3 years did I find one that actually helps me. Psychotherapists are a dime a dozen, that first meeting with them shouldn't even be about your problems, it should be about asking them what their methods are, where they studied, what school of thought they prescribe to, what therapeutic tools they use, etc.. At the end of the day, it's our life, nobody else's. There are days when I could cry thinking about having to go to the gym, or going to out with friends, but fuck that noise. I've been through hell and back, going to the gym won't break me, going out won't break me, nothing can break me. Forcing myself to do things is the only way that I can live, if it was up to my petty psyche I'd be languishing in bed forever, but my ego knows that's no way to live.
>>2311138Your emotions don't control you, you control your emotions. Just start smiling and don't stop until you're laughing at how stupid you look. Sometimes I wake up and I force myself to smile until I feel happy, sometimes it takes an hour or two and my cheeks get sore but it always works in the end. Happiness is ephemeral just like sorrow. Maybe you'll never get better, maybe you'll always have doubt, and sadness, but again: fuck that noise. It's better just to try and do it, even if you fail, instead of doing nothing at all. We're not statues, we can't be the same forever and always, we're meant to fuck up and make mistakes and grow up and learn things. That's just what life is like. Figure out the root cause of your depressed mood, for me, it was because I grew up in an shit home and I got neglected so I never learned how to have confidence in myself or how to take care of myself when I was growing up. I had to do a lot of work building up my self-esteem and my self-image, and doing so consequently improved my depression symptoms. If someone as foolish and stupid and lazy as me can improve my life, you can do it too.

Why do boomers write online comments like picrel? I know they're old but there is no way they would send this same message if it was a letter or in their workplace.
No. 2311230
>>2311216They run under different rules because they grew up in a different time, before electronic communication was popularized. Just from what I've picked up on over the years sending older people e-mails or instant messages:
>All capsThey use it as an intensifier. Not in an aggressive way. I.e., for them, all caps isn't meant to be screaming - it's meant to make the message clearer. It's sort of like how we use italics. It's sort of like how usually signs are all in caps, like it's always "TOILETS" not "Toilets" on signs for the bathroom.
>Ellipsis (…)This is a way for them to show hesitation, thought, or invite you to share a different opinion. For us it usually has a bad meaning, like "We need to talk…" but for them it's more like "What should I wear today…" It's sort of like they mean the ellipsis to be representative of a pause in thought.
>Em dash (en dash too)This is meant to amplify or emphasize, or to explain something like how we'd use parenthesis. Like in the picture you attached, Susan is trying to emphasis that she's struggled with mental illness and hoarding. They can also use it as we would use a comma or a parenthesis, i.e., "I don't think it's much (it really isn't)" would become "I don't think it's much — it really isn't."
>+ for "and" instead of ampersand.Ampersand wasn't commonly used back then, so the + symbol became an easy way to write "and." You still see this a lot in handwriting. So "Susan and I went to the park" could be "Susan & I went to the park" just as much as it could be "Susan + I went to the park."
If I was to write out what Susan said, it'd look like:
>I understand great loss, (mental illness: hoarding), I want to keep everything, but I don't! I'm educated and working, and I care for my pets. The first time I ever honestly disliked a person who has issues and hoards was Hannah (what a jerk)! Sorry hun, may God help you! Animals should not suffer because of our inadequacies.The other thing with boomers is that they're not digital natives like us. They still write their electronic communications from an outsiders' perspective. They don't know about the online culture, so they're not privy to certain meanings or innuendos.

>The other thing with boomers is that they're not digital natives like us. They still write their electronic communications from an outsiders' perspective.

Do they just… not notice? It has never even occurred to me that I would write a message differently than my normal speech so I’ve just always found this particular idiosyncrasy baffling.

why have they still not invented big strawberries that taste as good as the small wild strawberries
No. 2311324
>>2311230This is such an excellent survey of their common syntax differences compared to younger generations, thank you nona. Very interesting to read. I doubt this was used in this specific comment due to the caps and other factors, but incidentally, I’ve also noticed a contributing factor to other weird boomer texts and comments online is their reliance on voice to text if they’re writing from their phones, because they can’t see up close. They often construct weird sentences from the process of yelling into their phone word by word.
>>2311255They mirror their peers they speak to and see on Facebook and don’t necessarily feel the need to conform to younger people’s way of doing it, somewhat similarly to how we see their way and zoomers’ way as weird or retarded.
No. 2311330
>>2311295They truly are scamming us by promising us big strawberry and consistently delivering the same amount of strawberry per strawberry regardless of strawberry size, so in all these giant strawberries there is actually less strawberry flavor per segment, resulting in an altogether pathetic and evil strawberry experience. This is all a ploy by big big to sell us more big and less small which is really less per more.
Really though kidding aside it sucks ass and probably is partly because once it’s shown that the visually impressive large ones are purchased more rapidly, the flavor profile takes a backseat, and progressing this would take money and probably to against preexisting megacorp patents and the like, and isn’t worth it for them since it won’t drive up the sales for that level of business interest, which is why increasingly only small farmers at local places have fruit that isn’t like soap, that along with the mass pesticide usage that soaks into them like a marinade

>>2311108Seconding W&N, the Cotman line is student grade but still great quality for the price and you can get a lot of pre assembled palettes in various price ranges. Bear in mind that you can, and should, mix watercolors, so more paints does not automatically equal better art or better value. See what colors she likes and pick a palette that'll suit her tastes.
If you want to throw in some other nice things, find out what kind of paper she likes to use (hot pressed= smooth, cold pressed or NOT paper= rough) and get her that type of paper from a good brand like Arches. If she has shitty brushes get her a Cotman set, they're good quality and great value for money, or nice Chinese calligraphy brushes. You could get her masking fluid, ideally in a pen, or some metallic watercolor sets, if you have a bit less money left over.
>>2311386You're more naive for thinking that you'd be able to get your hands on uncontaminated drugs. The same shit that puts homeless people in hospital or in a morgue is the stuff you're going to be getting from a douchebro at a party. Even the stuff they take themselves could be contaminated. There's a reason why addicts keep going back to the same people who hooked them up with good drugs and avoid the sketchy dealers.
Assuming you do manage to find something decent, you'll probably be unsupervised while high, and there's a decent chance you'll One Direction yourself while you're in that state. Junkies are not known for their rational behavior, you won't be any different because it's just a teeeny bit and you're special.
If you're dead set on getting high, go to a legal weed dispensary and get the lowest baby dose you can find. Don't trust the staff if they're male, moids get off to giving vulnerable women the worst shit imaginable.
Tldr I have a cousin whose entire friend group consists of junkies, and one of my best friends is a paramedic. Drugs r bad. You might not get addicted but you'll definitely do something retarded, especially if you're alone, and even something as mild as weed can have awful side effects depending on the strain and your reaction to it.

Personally I have a large lined notepad of sticky notes which I use. At night I just write out everything I think I need to do the next day and put the sticky note up where I will see it first thing when I wake up. I use a regular planner for allotting my time and then use my phone's calendar purely for the reminder feature for appointments.

>>2313265Generally speaking, everybody has a different body. Sometimes, men have bodies that look like the average woman's body, and sometimes women have bodies that look like the average man's body. It's just how nature works. Look at someone like picrel, it's an actor that has very wide hips even though he's a man. On the flip side, some women have naturally broader shoulders or smaller hips.
I'm not gonna unspoiler the image because I don't wanna see a tranny's butthole, but I assume that this tranny is probably just editing his photos. Most of them do that because photo-editing is a lot more accessible and easier to do now than it was in the past. Whenever you see a tranny looking good, it's mostly just photo-editing, or a mix of that with specific angling. You can check the TIM or TIF threads to see what I'm talking about. They're big liars so you can't trust whatever they post, not even photographs.

>>2313581Basically, in Canada, there is no term limits. The prime minister can be in power for as long as he wants. To have an election, the prime minister has to call for one, so if he wanted, he would never have to call an election. So, Trudeau has been in power for about 10 years now. In this time, Canada has become very difficult to live in. The rental market has gotten worse, rents have increased by 3 fold in a decade. The cost of a home has skyrocketed, the average home costs about 750 thousand dollars now, while most Canadians make less than 60 thousand a year before taxes. According to recent statistics discussed in the national parliament, 25% of Canadians now live in poverty. Canada has the most personal debt of any G7 nation, meaning that the average Canadian has more debt from things like loans, credit cards, etc., than citizens from nations of comparable standard. Canada accepts almost triple the amount of immigrants that the USA does every year, even though the USA has a population almost 10 times as large as Canada. On average in the last 3 years, we've had about 1 million people entering the country per year, our population growth mirrors Afghanistan's during the civil war. Trudeau's government prioritizes low-skilled and under-educated immigrants over high-skilled and highly-educated immigrants because the former help keep the price of labour down for everyone else. In effect, this mass immigration weakens labour movements and suppresses wages. Everything is going really badly, it's too much to write in a LC post.

My teeth are really translucent and have a bit of scuffing on the front surface like picrel (not my pics). Are my teeth fucked? I wear a retainer like the one in the pic. I'm scared that I'm making it grind away my teeth in my sleep somehow, but I need it to keep my teeth straight. I want to rip my stupid fucking teeth out of my skull and just get implants. Anyway, are my teeth ruined? Are they going to keep thinning and start snapping and shit? I feel so anxious and sick when I look at my teeth.

>>2315187I think Bad Bunny kind of counts. I think part of the reason why is because of k-pop and the fact that social media led to parasocial relationships with these men being more insane than there were already, so straight men in particular are turned off. Also, if you are serious about music, it's not the best path to take in a world where straight men are the tastemakers and decide what real music is unfortunately.
>>2315144i've had anxiety my whole entire life, i couldn't even tell you the age where it started.

I also always sucked at making friends and had very little awareness why that was and it made me very depressed and insecure because i didn't know i had autism until i was almost 30, so i was scaring people away with my spergy behaviour unknowingly.

>>2315807The answer is we don't know. If there's a lot of fluid, it's mostly piss, but smaller amounts are still a mystery. So studies have shown that women who say they squirt large amounts are either mostly urinating, or else their body is producing a diluted form of urine only during arousal, but it's still originating from the kidneys and traveling through the bladder where it can mix with urine.
But then, some women squirt a small amount of fluid that originates from her Skene’s glands during orgasm, and this definitely isn't urine, but these women are much rarer. Some people will actually attempt to distinguish these two groups of women by calling the urinating ones squirters and the Skene’s glands ones ejaculaters.

How do you nonnies go about filtering retard men from your clubs? I’m thinking about starting a art club at my uni (not an art school), but I’ve had terrible experiences with artist moids infesting any irl club I was a part of before, ranging from degenerate sex pests to actual retards who wouldn’t shut up about their chris-chan tier OCs. I really want to meet and talk to other artists in a structured space where we can encourage each other to meet our goals, but having to deal with more moids like this would absolutely make me tear my hair out. When I wasn’t the one running these clubs, I could just block and ignore them and move on with my life, but if I’m the one running the club then I might actually have to manage any tards that come through.
>just grow a spine and tell them to gtfo
I’m fine with telling moids to gtfo but I’d like to prevent them from even being a part of the club in the first place to where I’d have to make them leave. I can’t go through another experience where everyone in the group coddles the degen and acts like I’m the crazy one for not wanting to put up with his poorly disguised fetish art of the week, I will kill someone. Now that I’m typing this out I realize that I don’t even like people at my university enough to start a club with them KEK. If anyone has advice on keeping crazy moids out of my life I’d still appreciate it. I don't have any artist friends to start the club with, so if I go through with this it's going to be me vs. whatever randos that show up.

Does it really pay to be a degen artist? Or do you have to hit gold with a niche fetish?
No. 2319177
>>2319111The actual way to be shapeless and lean is being mostly muscle and low body fat (you will never be able to achieve the roided bodybuilder physique without roids btw). The kicker is though that female bodies require 21.2% body fat to function. The reason for this is because sex hormones are fat soluble and are stored in the body's fat layers. Women that have a low bmi produce a reduced amount of estrogen which can lead to an abnormal menstrual cycle. Amenorrhea, or the lack of a menstrual cycle, is a result of a low bmi. You will also get hairy as the body is producing more male hormones. I do not suggest trying to become shapeless, however more muscle and less fat does give the appearance of being less hourglass and more box-y.
Some facts about us: Women have adapted to use fat stores, and can survive on less protein and survive on less carbs than men. We also are more resistant to fatigue than men, even when women and men with the same strength level are compared. We can generally do more reps at a given intensity than men. Essentially we are built for survival. We use estrogen and testosterone to build our muscles, both anabolic hormones, and higher fat diets promote estrogen and testosterone production. We have better metabolic health than men and have healthier fat distribution. We can handle more volume than men because we have higher type 1 muscle fibres. Estrogen is anti-catabolic which aids in muscle repair, reduces protein break-down during exercise and protects you against muscle damage. This allows women to train with a higher training volume without becoming overtrained.
Rather than using exercise for appearance, might I suggest using exercise for something neutral, like preparing yourself for when you're living alone and need to move something heavy, like a washing machine, because it broke down and you need to check what's wrong with it?

1. saute onions with cumin and bay leaf until translucent, then garlic until the raw smell goes away
2. add tomato paste if using and cook until it darkens a bit, then add coriander, turmeric, and stir for a few secs
3. add water or turn heat down, then add coconut milk. you just have to be careful that the pan isn't too hot or the coconut milk will break

>>2320276ice it and take a benadryl. sometimes you put too much cream on and you need to like wash and even exfoliate cos your skin was suffocated and your pores were clogged and your skin cells couldn’t turn over. i would make sure that’s not the case with you and do a good wash and then a layer of a cortizone product (i like the stick that doesn’t have a roller but has almost water inside?) on the areas that are itchy and then one layer of a non scented cetaphil or similar lotion. drink a ton of water. make sure all of your bedding is clean. clean soft clothes. silk PJs are the most soothing or like a fluffy robe. then once that is done you can assess - do you have like hives? is it under the skin and invisible? i would also see if your skin feels hot or hotter different places but well after the shower obviously. that’s inflammation. if it’s traveling around you can find where the inflammation is or if it doesn’t settle into a pattern it could be your brain signaling you to inflammation and creating a pain response. that’s also a thing pain is weird. but ice the spots that are hot or itchy. chug water and take some allergy meds and inflammation meds. i would also not eat anything for a bit. for me gluten actually
triggers it so sometimes i’ve eaten too many carbs that day that had it and i have to wait it out. look up foods that are cooling and anti inflammatory. no sugar no alcohol. water water water.

>>2320861The fact that you have to ask about this is already a clear sign you don't have a good idea what healthy behavior is. While this doesn't automatically mean that you have some sort of mental illness or disorder, it's probably a sign that you are neglecting your personal needs and trying to ignore self care by engaging in behaviors that are unrelated to what you actually need. You should probably work at redirecting all this time and energy spent on obsessing about someone else's life to seeing what areas in your life are lacking and how you can improve and develop yourself. In short, it's likely you are neglecting your own needs and projecting them on another person as a potential source of your needs being fulfilled in some way when in fact you should enrich your own personal experience without relying too much on an image of a person created in your mind. Think about what you find interesting about that person you are obsessing because the things you find attractive in them are usually what is calling for your attention in your personal life and is underdeveloped and neglected.

>>2321300I actually went through this myself. I had a very common first name, so common that there was 5 other girls in my class that shared my name growing up. When I went off to university, I just started going by my middle name instead. I was tired of being the 12th person people knew with that name. I especially hated being called [First name] [First initial of surname], it's like okay, you might as well call me by a number at that point.
A good name is way more important than people realize, especially if you work with the public or in the arts. I ended up getting my name legally changed a few years ago - I swapped the first and middle names. It only cost me $100 and it took like a week to go get all the paperwork and due processes completed. After I got the legal change, that was pretty much it. I had already been going by my middle name for years at that point, so it really was just formalities like updating at the bank, doctors offices, tax offices, etc.. If you want to go by a new name, I really recommend getting it legally changed because if you don't, you'll still have the "important" things registered under your old name.
In all honesty, you're not gonna get your old friends or family to call you by the new name. It's too big of a demand. For me, everyone that knew me before 2017 knows me as my old name and everyone that I met post-2017 calls me by my new name. Sometimes, when those groups collide, it can be confusing, but I always just tell confused people "oh, it (my former first name) is a personal name, I go by [my current first name] in my daily life now."
You'd be surprised how many people go by their middle names in daily life, or even just aliases. I had a landlord once that went by Peter, and only 5 years after I met him did I learn his first name was actually William and that Peter was nowhere in his legal name.

It's something to do with pheromones. It's similar to how mothers can identify clothing worn by their own children based on smell, but they can't do it for their step-children.

AITA? I want to break up with my bf because he wants to attend an expensive, almost weeklong event. He’s willing to pay my way but it’s something I’m physically unable to handle (no air conditioning and in the summer in the tropics, outside the entire time). It’s pricey, and I’m definitely not with him for his money, so it’s not like we can do something special together before/after. We don’t live together and the only overnight vacation we went on was funded by my parents, with him buying himself some extras. Apparently I am being very toxic which sure, I’ll take it. But am I really the asshole? I’m not making him feel bad. I didn’t frame it as “don’t go or I’ll break up” I was simply like I can’t handle going to that with you and I can’t handle you going by yourself, I’m sorry, I’d like to break up because I’ll never not be upset about this, as immature as that is it’s just the truth. I didn’t say he’s a bad person or that I hated him and didn’t make it a fight, I’m sad but he deserves to be happy and have fun, and I deserve to feel secure and prioritized. Like am I really being so awful here? I love him but I know that will ruin our relationship because I’ll be bitter. I’m also insecure and even though I trust him not to, I’ll never fully convince myself no cheating occurred since I can’t be there.

Get reeeeeaaally into it, talk about it all the time when you're with her, show her related stuff etc. and bore her to death. Works every time. Or start going to church a lot and become very religious, talk about how it saved you and try to convince her she can improve her life by doing that. They also avoid the self-improvement thing so you can start talking about life changing philosophies and minimalism, stoicism etc.
Also remember this is BPD, even if you are faking it, you have to put on a show everywhere so all you socials, friends must know to some degree that it's something you're doing. It's a bit of work but this will make her less interested in you and have no reason to take it personally/will blame it on the thing, not you.

>>2323930When a person won't eat anything at all unless it's bland as fuck shit or very specific shit. I know at least two picky eaters.
One is a girl who eats the most random shit, never eats vegetables and never drinks water, she only drinks soda, she doesn't even like tea, coffee or juices, only soda and maybe some Gatorade.
Going out with her or inviting her to your home is a pain in the ass, I can't stand her at all.
The other picky eater is my obnoxious brother, he can't eat the same food twice in a week and sometimes he can't do so in the span of 15 days, he prefers to not eat than to eat anything he doesn't like and while he eats vegetables and drinks water, it takes way too much convincing to make him try new shit and the majority of times in which he has catalogued something as "not good" he will just not eat anything at all for the rest of the day. He's also obnoxious to cook for and his mood for food changes like the weather on spring, he will love the way you cooked something one day and the next day he will say he hates it.
God I fucking hate them so much.
There's also my aunt, but in her case it's because of the conditions she grew up in and the OCD, she only eats crackers like a parrot and maybe some really bland fruits like papaya and banana, she also has some gastrointestinal issues so I honestly just have patience and try to give her what she can tolerate/eat, because most of the times, whenever she doesn't eat something bland, she gets seriously sick and I hate it when people get genuinely sick.

Dislikes all Indian and Mexican food even if it isn't spicy. Hates all seafood and fish. She generally dislikes cheese and will scrape it off anything that comes with it. Hesitant to eat anything she describes as "savory pastries," i.e., pierogis, knish, spanikopita, pot stickers, sausage rolls, etc. Sometimes just rejects recipes I suggest for no discernable reason. She doesn't even like pizza!
I feel like spaghetti, steak, chicken, burgers, potatoes, and sweets are all she ever wants to eat. Then she gets upset about gaining weight. I consider myself a foodie, and it's miserable to try and plan meals with her because she never wants to try anything new or go anywhere interesting.

>>2312738If they missed a canal you need to get a root canal retreatment. It's not going to go wrong for you right away but it will hurt. The fact you have any pain or unpleasant sensitivity at all is a sign of it. I've had three get retreatment myself (sometimes you need it redone over time, and sometimes you need it right away). It's a really quick procedure (under 15 mins at most), you should squeeze it in.
The tooth is already dead after a root canal. If you have unfilled canals, that's why they hurt. The canal gets infected and the pain can come and go, or even swell or form a pimple of sorts on your gums. Don't pop it if you get one.
If a dentist wants to pull it, see someone else. They most likely don't want to retreat it because of insurance or lack of skill, but a specialist can do the retreatment easily.
Your crown, if you have one, is very possibly going to break during so be prepared to pay for another if that's how it goes where you live. If it doesn't break, the dentist can just fill it permanently and you'll be fine. Hope this helps nonna

I haven't gotten a crown yet, it's all the natural tooth and the filling so far. I can't afford crowns at the moment so I'll do it later in life when I'm making enough money. But I was afraid of getting to a point of no return with this tooth where it has to be removed. Thanks for the reassurance though.
No. 2324534
>>2324525If anything it will hurt and maybe get infected, but if it's free from a cavity and you don't mind the pain you can sit on it for a while. I'd definitely get that last canal treated to avoid the pain and infection, and then try to save for the crown because the tooth is a lot easier to break now that it's deadened. If you already don't chew on it much it'll hold out longer, but you fracture it without a crown if you're unlucky.
If it's any consolation, I've been sitting with a fully open tooth for months because life keeps getting in the way of my appointment to get it filled and capped. It's already had the word done and redone, so it's ground down a ton but I just put dental wax to keep stuff out and don't chew on it. Dental stuff is hell.

I've been told by Chinese people that you have to brew it for very little (think one minute, two minutes is the max indeed) or just stop as soon as it's yellowing, it's not supposed to be a dark color at all. The water also needs to be warm but not boiling, so you can boil it and wait 2 minutes for it to cool down a bit or just not boil all the way. Too hot and the flower will burn

>>2325274I don't have an answer to your question but I once found a dude online who was autistically obsessed with defending Yui from Diabolik Lovers from the other characters similarly to how the Family Guy autist Megfags try to defend her from her family treating her like shit kekk

Who do you think killed JonBenet Ramsay? I'm not a hyper-autist about the case but it is really puzzling because there's no real satisfying answer due to how poorly the crime scene and investigation was handled. I think either her brother did it or it really was a home intruder.

>>2325485>Isn’t BPD just being overemotional?Please read up more on it then because it absolutely is not. You have hypersensitive autists for example and they don't have BPD traits like the complete lack of reality, lack of identity, attachment issues, the general toxicity and
victim complex, yada yada
No. 2325506
>>2325489Well, I would assume self-harming is not something mentally healthy people do, I suppose. As I said I am not trying to self-diagnose and would go to a psychologist if I wanted a diagnosis. (Unlikely, I don’t want people like my family using confirmed mental illness against me.)
>>2325496Right I see. I assumed my feelings regarding relationships fell into attachment issues especially the idea of having a FP. I doubt I have autism (I think) but I could see how perhaps other conditions could manifest the same traits in a similar way.
No. 2325517
>>2325506>self-harming is not something mentally healthy people doSelf-harm isn't indicative of a mental illness itself. It's indicative of poor coping skills. It can be a symptom of mental illness, yes, but self-harm alone doesn't mean someone has a mental illness. A person could struggle with self-harm while not having any mental illness.
>I don’t want people like my family using confirmed mental illness against meYour medical history is nobody's business except your own and your doctors'. If you don't feel comfortable telling your family something about your health, you have no obligation to.
>I assumed my feelings regarding relationships fell into attachment issues especially the idea of having a FP.I'm not trying to shit on you, but if you're finding information about mental health online, either from social media or from popular psychology websites, none of that is based on fact. Look up "medical student syndrome" for more information on what I mean. You need to read actual peer-reviewed research, or better yet: the DSM-IV. That is the only trust-worthy source of information pertaining to psychology.

No. 2325877
>>2325859Nta yes. If a "quiet BPD" is just sad and dysregulated and has bad attachments they're not BPD, they're just depression/anxiety disorder/mild disorganised attachment but not enough to be really BPD
>>2325870Because they're secretly envious of women imo. They act like we're such yass slay queens but it's just another form of misogyny. They're mad that women have straight men fawning over them and, supposedly, can score any man to fuck while they only have STD-ridden hookups with dingy homeless scrotes they met on Grindr in back alleys
