"Been through bad time lately with suffering with this. Dark thoughts as well. I know some posters on here suffer with this. Anyone come through the other side of this shit?

"A number of posters have been yellow carded and told to stay off this thread unless they have anything constructive to add.This is a thread that has been very useful to so many, for any other posters with scores to settle, argue on another thread. This thread is sacrosant.Thank you"

"As some of you may well know I have had a few suicide attempts in the last few years and yesterday I tried again. How it didn't work I don't know, I had 2 lit bbqs in the car, fell asleep at about 4 and woke up at half 10, sick everywhere, legs like jelly and brain fog. I was always led to believe carbon monoxide poisoning would work and kill me off, yet here I am to tell the tale."

Thanks W67. Feeling zoned out and becoming hooked were my major issues

[Westham67]

They are OK Debs. Like all meds they make you feel a bit queasy at first but they are not strong and you can function normally .

[Darlo Debs]

I was prescribed them w67 but in the end couldn't bring myself to take them. Might reconsider though as been really down over the last few days.

Sertraline 50mg doing a good job in keeping me on one level rather than ups and downs

"A mixed bag really. She had some therapy in the past for issues stemming from her childhood but there’s always an excuse and an angry dismissive response if it’s brought up now. I’ve suggested councelling for us both, talking to somebody about these feelings of anger and management strategies but it falls on deaf ears. I’ve a friend who is going through his own healing process after being diagnosed with PTSD through childhood trauma (isn’t it always?) and he’s taking an alternative path whilst travelling through south america and tryying various mushrooms and all sorts deemed to have therapeutic help for PTSD, even the mention of it or me subtly congratulating him for going all out to try and get himself better is blanked. She knows she has issues, she knows they need lookijng at head on but she just can’t face them."

Rdn - what’s her general attitude to mental health like? I’ve she’s very dismissive of any talk of it she may be in deep denial. If she can talk about it openly and calmly that’s good

[Roeder-nowhere]

"How difficult was it Alfs for her to realise she needed help (rather than blaming others) and then actually get that help? I suppose diagnosis is also difficult as it will require complete honesty in answering questions, instead of saying what’s needed to be deemed ‘ok’?"

"Indeed Manuel, BPD seem to be just a more extreme, intensified version of ‘woman’"

Aren't all women like that?

"ChillTheKeel 7:27 Tue May 25 My wife has BPD and it can be very difficult to handle. Moods up and down, lots of anger. But deep down she's a beautiful person. It's a fucked up mental disorder though. ""Love me, hate me, hate you, don't ever leave me"". ."

[ChillTheKeel]

"And watch out for the relentless, creepy stalking once you do finally get out. They're even worse than joyo in that regard."

[joyo]

Self analysis that ChillTheKunt?

[ChillTheKeel]

"Anyone in a relationship with someone with BPD/NPD (two sides of the same rotten coin) needs to get the fuck out as soon as it's feasible. It NEVER gets better, only much, much worse."

[bruuuno]

"Apologies for my flippant response. That she was left with nannies and not properly loved as a child screams BPD The problem with BPD is that people can turn on their own children and so the cycle repeats itself.. protecting your children from this woman’s wrath must be the priority. There’s specific websites for supporting people with BPD persons in their lives, they helped me to understand things a bit Good luck with it"

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Agree not easy when kids are involved, when you also have to be aware of what is best for them."

[Roeder-nowhere]

"Thabks Brunno, yeah it fits to an extent as do many other personality disorders. She needs to acknowledge it, then want to change it and I am not sure she is anywhere near step 1! gtfo? Love to but with kids that’s not easy, eveb if I had the wedge to gonit alone near by."

[bruuuno]

"Roeder-nowhere - read up on borderline personality disorder, I had an ex who was similar, total head fuck.it’s a horrible thing usually caused by trauma at an early stage in a child’s development which means they are stunted emotionally. You need to gtfo"

[Crassus]

"Mate, I'm going to say it - she sounds a right cսnt that you would be well shot of, she is not going to change Appreciate the issue with your kids, so pragmatically this is how I see it You can't bail out because of the kids, so assume a 'sentence' mentality, engage closely with the nippers to establish an irrevocable bond. Work on the inside, be the Dad that you are, invest time and private quality moments whilst their mother is bladdered or doing what ever the fuck she wants Kids grow up quickly, and they absorb like a sponge, it will not be as long as it seems before they are independent young adults and you will have served you penance for poor spousal selection but retain a positive relationship with your kids Above all, learn to disconnect the idealistic vision that you know in truth is just not there, exist without initiating conflict, gradually self educate emotional detachment Might sound harsh, but as described you have no relationship, so retain 4 choices, first 2 are not viable and the 4th terminal 1 Shoot the cսnt 2 Have it on your toes 3 Accept that she is a cսnt, bide your time, take control 4 Plough on hoping that it will all work out whilst knowing it won't Good luck and you know it makes sense"
