Hi all this is my first post.
I'm a 29 year old mother of 2 and was diagnosed August 2017 but always strongly suspectes that I had BPD for years before my diagnosis.
Since being diagnosed with BPD I find it difficult to establish if I am in the wrong or not when me and my other half have a disagreement. Because problems with perception are part of BPD I find myself asking if it's just me being crazy or if it's reasonable to be hurt.
An arguement from today serves as a perfect example and I'd like some feedback of that's okay..
I get up between 5 and 7 every morning to feed our youngest and I let my other half lie in most weekends because he works 9-5 during the week. (I also work but I can do it from home after the kids are asleep so I usually that in the evenings from about 9 til midnight) This morning I asked if he would get up to see to the baby so that I could get some more sleep. The past two weeks ive been on a downward spiral with my moods and have been crying a lot most days. I dread waking up at the moment. After some convincing he agreed to get up and feed the baby and I fell back to sleep. I wake up about 3 hours later and he is asleep next to me... I get up and my son is watching telly in the front room on his own having had no breakfast and comes and hugs me with a sad face.
So I get my son his breakfast and I'm already RAGING inside. I refer to my son as my angel because he is just that and to see him sad and lonely in the front room at 10am on his own looking so sad hurt my heart.
The baby starts to stir... she needs feeding again. I go to get her bottle and there are none. My inconsiderate other half didnt think to clean and steam a set of bottles for her next feed when he used to last one (like.. you know.. ######6 everyone does) before he went back to sleep! So my daughter cried foe ten minutes while I steamed her bottles before I could feed her.
By the time he wakes up I'm past mad and just feeling hopeless about our relationship and therefore my life... im crying again as i have been for days. I dont say anything about his actions to him, because im just crazy remember? Paranoid sensitive and crazy.
I tell him that I just feel sad and I cry and he tells me he doesnt know what he can do. He goes to the football as he had planned and left me feeling broken and empty. Before he left he said "ill be thinking of you all day of course" 5 hrs later he comes back not having sent me one txt or anything.... but he has brought his favourite dinner for me to cook... and wine. Because wine is a fantastic idea for someonw in a downward depressuve spiral.
The lack of consideration makes me feel like he doesnt love me. But im prob just being crazy again, right?
Am I? Tell me...
Thanks for reading.
