No one is stigmatizing BPD

I've been here since 2012 or a little earlier, it was a cesspool back then but it certainly didn't get better over the years.

Same for you. My therapist said my reactions and behaviors told him that there was a long standing pattern happening, so hiding my sickness was probably because I was punished or yelled at for ... daring to be human. I agree with the comments -- this ties into personality disordered parenting

This is me especially enduring via disassociation and also not being in my body I don't tend to "feel" the impact of burn out or fatigue until it's almost impacting my health.

I have a childhood memory of waking up having vomited in my sleep onto my sheets, stripping the sheets off my bed and hiding them in my laundry hamper ON THE BOTTOM in the middle of the night by myself. It's wild how this was just normal for me at like age 8. Only time I was able to be home sick was when I had chickenpox.

Get your condyles checked via MRI for presence of idiopathic condylar resorption based on open bite, your photo of your jaw and your symptoms. These are all red flags of ICR, if you can see a surgeon who deals with ICR patients PLEASE DO, lots of misinformation out there. Relapse from trad DJS is high in patients with TMJ issues.

Princeton Record Exchange was where I got my start, first within used cds and then venturing into the vinyl.

I'd think a 1 off of an asshole having a bad day. I've had someone tell me to my face I'm ugly but she was someone from online and everyone thought she was a jerk

I mean I'm a woman version of OP and never experienced this in the city myself. Maybe men aren't so bold as to comment in front of another man his date is an uggo?

I made Pinterest boards back when fashion blogging was popular, predating instagram influencers I guess. One of my favorite bloggers was TheClothesHorse and I basically hardcore thrifted/shopped sales in order to recreate her classic looks. I like vintage 50s-60s styles probably a little more 60s in nature. I guess Librarian chic is the style? I like earth and jewel tones (green especially). I have colorful shirts or shoes and plain dresses-skirts. The preppy girl in Pretty Little Liars was also a huge fashion icon, I even own some of the dresses and pieces she wore on the show.

Is this proof TLC isn't scripted or ...? I believe this is WHO HE IS and he's repulsive so it makes me wonder if everyone else is also this way ala Jasmine and so on.

Plant nerding is a big hole. I got super into it so now I know a lot about outside plants, I even started pressing some in a book.

I keep a spreadsheet on vinyl records I've ordered including cost break downs, dates they will ship, dates they shipped, date I received and tracking no. I then also put the cost/date/item/condition in my Discogs. Then another spreadsheet is my record white whales or desires, the label the item was pressed with, the discogs costs (low, median, high) and the genre. Kind of akin to the movie list but with vinyl records. TO add here I also camp out and refresh a lot of sale pages and Discogs/Ebay plus I will research local shops for when I leave town and I have some record shopping destination trips in my head.

When I was into houseplants I had all different soils, lighting (still do), youtube educational videos, knowing the scientific names, having a local store route, bookmarking online sellers, structured my entire weekend around plants, I even have plant related clothing!

Current obsession is sardines. I'm new but already in the hole about them.

Have an upvote on me

My mom described us as babies as "baby alive dolls", basically said the quiet part out loud

I think my perception and understanding of her behavior being abnormal is what changed. I do think their mask slips more and more with age but also you aren't a child anymore so as you grow up you see your parent is emotionally stunted.

AKA "grey rock" :|

Yep. I went no contact with her finally. In therapy I've been told my mother was "the problem" or the root of my problems. If you haven't read I'm Glad My Mom Died and/or Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. There's a good chance your mom had NPD traits (you can find a lot about children of mothers with NPD online) since this is a huge checkbox. Usually they can dish this to you but can't take it and will rage if the negative vibes are turned in their direction. Not a diagnosis, just this behavior does tend to be connected to personality disorders.

One thing I started was Pretty Little Liars Original Sin and it's not TERRIBLE but it's nowhere as good as the OG. I haven't started S2 yet and I'm on the fence if I should ride this out or scrap it.

I'm so happy Fallout did well because I want more of it! (and more good video game adaptions!)

Like others, I saved this for this weekend, I want to binge what I have !

To me emoviolence more closely lines up with punk, I think this is mainly the correct sound though I consider PG99 in emoviolence camp and they're a little more sludgy in sound.

It's basically powerviolence mixed with screamo so a more chaotic sound like Palatka. One could call Palatka an "emo band" or even a "screamo band" too. In/Humanity is sort of the blueprint for emoviolence where you can distinctly hear the blend of emo/screamo and powerviolence. It's a lot more punk in the undertones mostly absent of the heaviness though evolution would put PG99 in the emoviolence world, though to be clear they considered themselves punk not hardcore or screamo.

To be honest I think "emoviolence" was just made up to put distance between cool hardcore-punk sounding bands from GUK/Braid sounding "emo" bands who more closely lined up with what would be considered college rock in the 90s.

I've gone on dates when I felt like it would probably be a miss and they've been some of the better dates I've been on. Unless the guy is seriously hideous or seems like he'll be a creepster I'd just go. At worst it's just a no chemistry first date which we've all been on even with confirmed digital hotties.

I should note I'm ace so personality is a bigger factor than appearance for me but looking "decent" is the bar.

Has your bite changed? Usually the jaw is pulled back and you lose ramus height causing your open bite to return. After a year, with regard to my case, I could no longer put my retainer in without pain because my bite was shifting.
