Can’t stop posting negative things online

Postby Akkie » Mon Jul 23, 2018 12:12 am

Hi, I have borderline personality disorder and cannot stop
posting negative things online.
It comes from a place of extreme hurt. For example, I’ve been single for 10 years and post things about men treating me like I’m worthkess and standing me up on dates. I post this on my private Instagram and no one knows how to respond. I’d like to stop doing that but something about it is therapeutic. I’m a multiple time rape victim too. Any ideas on how to have better emotional control?

i dont know how to stop but i'm saying you're not alone. i often visit search for depression quotes on google n regret quotes to feel better.

i've vented here a lot.
n i record my rants in my mobile n then i hear them.
or i rant to the walls about how unfair it all is.

i struggle with this, i used to be worse with it than i am now. i have a private twitter that just my partner follows for some vent stuff, but for the most part i try and get it out through helplines. i don't have to give my name, i don't know the person i'm talking to, i can say whatever i need to without feeling guilty or ashamed of myself, if i get angry at the person or if they upset me, i can hang up and likely never talk to them again. it helps but i find i also do it a lot out of boredom or for attention, which isn't always good. still, it's the only thing that's really helped me to stop bottling things up or venting in more inappropriate ways.

music also helps, at least for me it helps. i have a playlist for when i need loud music (helps when i'm dissociating or feeling low), and another playlist for songs that remind me of trauma or bad feelings (it helps to vent those feelings through music, sometimes).
