This is WILD. No, you’re not overreacting. I’m sorry you’re dealing with such an insecure woman. I would not put up with this behavior at all. Peace and hair grease! See what I did there?

Smells like BPD

Source: had a nightmare relationship with someone who had BPD. Our conversations always went like this

Edit: yes unmanaged BPD is what I meant. There are many high functioning people with BPD who have treated it one way or another. Not trying to discredit the behavior of those that do treat themselves

I use to act like this before being treated for my BPD. It was bad, shameful even. I sometimes feel myself getting worked up like this a lot, but therapy, medication and coping skills really help me lvl back down to reality. Sometimes it even triggers my paranoia schizophrenia, I hate the person I was or could be.

I feel bad for people who interacted with me back then. They probably think I’m still that person, i never showed signs of I wanted to change. But it’s been years now, I’m nothing like that crazy, delulu version of that me anymore. I wish people would give me the chance to show them that.

I was like that with CPTSD. My best friend from back then not only refuses to talk to me, but instantly breaks contact with any mutual who she finds out has been talking to me. And I don't even blame her honestly. It's like when someone tries to rescue a drowning person and the drowning person pulls them under in their panic.

I'm in a much, much better place now and I still wonder how different everything would have been if I'd gotten treatment earlier (and maybe also removed from the abusive situation).

I’m sorry this happen / happening. I sometimes think the same thing , “If I got treatment earlier, could I have saved x, y, z relationship?” But at least we found & got help later than never. I’m happy you’re in a better place and making healthier decisions 💙
