my manager scratched his ear and muttered a small “hey.” when he saw me today. i had a new hairstyle and i got compliments from everyone but him. i immediately started splitting and telling myself he didn’t like it and how much i hated my job and i should quit even though everyone else was being extremely nice. i realized what was happening and regulated my emotions and he ended up telling me he likes my hair an hour later. i make up situations in my head and get upset about it

My bf will tell me "you're making assumptions and it's not helpful when I said nothing to support it" it's a very helpful way to bring me back to reality.

I think it’s hard though because if you’ve been gaslit for most of your life, you want to trust your intuition better to prevent it from happening again. It’s hard to know if my intuition is on point and that person’s just gaslighting me, or if I’m actually making inaccurate assumptions

surprise, we’re always(not always but y’know, mostly) wrong. I struggle with this so badly and it is the single worst aspect in my relationship. I’m so hyper vigilant over physical/vocal cues and it’s damn near impossible to decipher whether or not I’m interpreting it the right way. Personally, almost always interpreted as an attack/rejection. I just want to be the best version of myself for my Princess 😭🥺

People HATE when I tell them how they are feeling BUT I’m never wrong just early! I wish it were a case of I manifested my own abandonment… even if i sit back and stay quiet it happens anyway

I told my psychiatrist today that I hate how I feel justified for my anger or my frustration during disagreements or arguments until it’s all over and I realized I was never justified 😭 welcomed a new med today and got urgently put in DBT

something that was hard for me to understand was I’m not as important to people as I am to myself - essentially the world does NOT revolve around me not everyone around me is constantly thinking abt me & out to get me 🥹

I get myself in trouble with this on a daily basis, in nearly every interaction. I recognize a shift, but im wrong about what the shift means.

I like to believe that I have high cognitive empathy but I do seem to take every shift quite personally and as a rejection…. So you may be right about this 😅

I wish someone would dissect my brain and figure out what diagnoses I actually have, instead of being a guinea pig for psychiatrists. I’ve been diagnosed with BPD years ago, But other psychiatrists told me I don’t because I’m never manic? I’m very aware of my crazy mood swings, and temper tantrums and when I cool off I act like nothing happened.

i take anyone being in a bad mood as them being mad at me specifically. i know logically it’s not true but my nervous system flips out scanning my brain for why they’re upset with me. i can feel myself losing my mind but can’t always stop it from happening. it’s so frustrating
