On Emotional Permanence
I was up late having intrusive thoughts about my mom suddenly dying of an aneurysm and thought, “Oh I miss her…”. Why my thoughts of death are my strongest indication for love and care, I’ll never know, but that’s me -that’s my sliver of emotional permanence and I will take what I can get.
What Splitting Looks Like
Can you give me an example of splitting after a fight with your boyfriend? I'm sorry I've been asking so many questions. I'm just trying to figure out what a normal reaction and what a symptom would be in that situation. It's still so hard to differentiate for me.
On the Borderline Lens
I know this is vague, but I was just wondering if there was anything you could tell me about BPD. I know about it in general, but I was also wondering... How much does it hurt? What kinds of things trigger the most pain for you? I'm so sorry of this is intrusive or rude, I am just so curious about it.

Is it possible for splitting to happen without a trigger or is it just a trigger I'm unaware of?
Grief and Quiet BPD
I remember when one of my best friends passed away. I was 23. This happened during a period of ignoring her calls, texts, and soft blocking her efforts to hang out. Was I splitting? (Hint: absolutely).
