So, OPEN RANT.

So I went to my pdoc today, which was a rather fine appoitment. No changes to my medications, and we had a splendid talk, and he is in complete agreement about my going back to school to become a therapist/counsellor.

So, what happened, you say?

Well, I go to the pharmacy (in the USA), and my F****IN STUPID INSURANCE COMPANY (yeah, CAREMARK, I'm talking about YOU ...

I was too lazy to find the old one.

But I thought this might help people who were posting about this before. I've done some reading recently, (Baron-Cohen) and BPDs can have trouble recognising and identifying emotion in others the same way Aspies do, but i think for different reasons. I'm not suggesting I have this problem myself, but noticed some others here seemed to be thinking they might have AS. BPD shares this with ...

i know this sounds like a strange question, but were you extremely quiet or passive and considered well-behaved as a child?

i was--i was incredibly unassertive and could 'nag' about things, but rarely ever showed anger. i was even afraid to ask to leave class when i really needed to for physical reasons. i think i read somewhere that borderlines are often perceived as being 'well-behaved' in early childhood (due to passivity), but i can't ...

Umm noticed that lately when i walk to work from the car etc that i look round to see how high the wall is (50foot i recon) and if i could get to the top then start thinking if i jumped i would have to make sure i landed head first.

Like are you ######6 kidding me?

Everyone says I'm over reacting. RIGHT.

He was the one who only asked for the responsibility and now isn't doing jackshit!

Summer vacation was a disaster family wise, and I noticed during that time I didn’t go through my `dark phases’ where I stay in my room, and I feel all left alone, not needed and replaced.. during our family vacation I felt needed something I always wanted to feel, its what gets me going, I hate this about me, this feeling usually throws me back to my room and to my bad habits,.. now we ...

There, I admitted it to myself. A recent post about high-functioning vs low-functioning borderlines got me thinking about it once again, and this conclusion I've drawn is pretty much absolute. It wasn't an easy one to draw, either. But at the same time, it feels somewhat liberating having drawn it.

The deal is: I function well for being low-functioning. I can handle it in a way not every can. I can reason through things in ...

I want attention.

I want praise.....

And when i don't get it......i get angry.

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: ...

Who leave you?

I can't. If I let them back I will keep them at a extreme distance and just mirror their behavior for attention to feed my ego.


What about you?

I'm starting the first lesson (it's a little confusing to get there)
