Anyone Here Ever Deal With Borderline Personality Disorder?

All I can say is stop thinking with your dick. There is no reason for you to be dealing with any of this shit.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but our selves can free our minds.

I don’t think it’s possible to type with those long fancy nails. Or cook. Or clean.

I mean it’s a bit of a relative thing. I’ve been working out, work my usual hours, have intimacy time with my husband, go to school, etc. and I’m still able to do stuff with them being long. Typing is difficult but aside from school, I don’t need to type for anything else. I can’t really decipher if you’re joking I’m the latter half of your post, but I’m under the assumption you were? Not too good with reading written tone.

But usually I spend however much time on my nails I wish to. For some it’s a hobby. Long nails or nail art can be an outlet. I like to take time to paint them, and care for my hands. Sometimes I spend 30-40 mins doing oil treatments, other times I spend maybe 15 mins painting and pushing my cuticles.

I haven’t put gels or acrylic overlays/extensions on my nails in years though.

But I find it’s Mostly down to Priorities, and what’s comfortable for each individual.

I definitely was NOT throwing shade, though I can see that it looks that way. I’d just sort of shifted to my own thinking about it. My mom used to mess with hers while she watched TV, but I can’t divide my attention that way and it feels chore-like to me.

I don’t think this got the credit it deserved.

I’m such a dumbshit I missed that one completely.

Don’t worry, that post of mine was just the nail in coffin for this thread.

Okay i’ma stop now…

Ah, the lesbian manicure: buffed, no polish.

Work out which nuts have a screw loose by looking at nails… Hammer this one into your memories.

But that does makes sense to me. I think years prior when I didn’t really care about my nails anything else aside from occasional polish felt like too much.

Buffed? I must be a dyke.

I’m not sure where that puts me. My nails are clipped short. That’s the extent of that. I can’t bear to have my cuticles touched and it feels gross when my nails go much past the end of my fingers.

On the subject of bpd, I’m very close with someone who is diagnosed with it. It can be dealt with. It’s not easy for either the individual with it or others around them. It’s not a moral shortcoming or personality flaw. It’s just difficult. Like any chronic illness, the person has to put the work in to minimize the impact on their life.

For instance, this individual is aware that their emotional reaction to many things is not normal. They take steps to govern their reaction and talk themselves off the emotional edge. It’s a lot of work. DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy ) CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) and be helpful.

I went to a workshop where they were talking about CBT for part of it. I missed the start and all I knew CBT to mean was Cock and Ball Torture. I had a difficult time keeping a straight face.

Thanks for putting this in my head now too.

I’m sorry if my comment came across as anything other than a flip comment about (what I thought) was a fairly well-known stereotype. You’ve shared enough that I’m certain you’re not gay and it wouldn’t matter if you were. I don’t use “lesbian” or “dyke” as a pejorative because I don’t believe being gay is in any way less-than being straight. Except maybe driving. Gays are notoriously bad drivers.

Anyways, please accept this video with my humble apologies:
