Depressive Logical Mistakes
–All or Nothing Deciding that falling slightly short of your goals makes you a total failure
–Overgeneralization “Because it worked out badly one time, it will work out badly every time.”
–Mental Filter Allowing a single small negative detail to block out all the good details
–Disqualifying the Positive Saying that positive experiences or evidence “don’t count” for some reason
–Mind-Reading Assuming other people think negatively of you without evidence
–Fortune-Telling Making a negative prediction and then taking it as an established fact, before the fact
–Catastrophizing Exaggerating the importance of a minor mistake
–Minimizing Disregarding the importance of your qualities or accomplishments
–Emotional justification “I feel hopeless, therefore things are hopeless”
–Should, Must, and Ought Disregarding the way things are in favor of how things “should be”
–Mislabeling “I failed once, so I’m a total Failure.” Or, “He was mean to me once. He’s a fucking Asshole.”
–Personalization Taking [responsibility] for things you don’t actually have control over
When you catch yourself thinking this way, take a step back and ask yourself: “Is this really true, or am I stuck in a loop?”
Simple stories are inherently false. Life is complicated, and perspective matters.
When life seems overwhelming, remember the Buddhist saying: “The correct way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.”
And remember:
You can handle this.

This is for everyone who experiences a lot of negative self talk and is working so hard on being kinder, more loving to their bodies and minds: I am so sorry to hear that your mind is not a peaceful place at the moment, but I promise you that the war will not last forever. You deserve so much respect and recognition for fighting against these toxic thoughts on a daily basis, my love. You are such a beautiful, amazing soul and I hope that one day your focus will finally shift from all the 'ugly' and 'bad' parts you see to all the incredible things about you. That is the you the world already sees and you deserve to see it, too.
What is the inner child and how does it affect bpd?
Inner child is the version of you that was triggered for the very first time. Typically people with BPD also have complex PTSD and continue to get triggered again and again as they grow up. The inner child still lives inside and that's why we experience an insane amount of sensitivity over arguably seemingly small things.
If you develop a relationship with the inner child you learn to respond to your triggers and trauma with grace and a gentleness you would a child.
When in touch with your inner child you learn to do things you enjoy again and to purge awful memories of the abuse that created this mess in the first place.
In my personal experience I've learned to chide and comfort myself when triggered ever since doing inner child work, which has been more healing than dbt and cbt work.
I have BPD and idk if it's normal for me to always think that people are into me? I know I'm pretty but I'm not that pretty and that's just really annoying, even for myself.
lust or romantic attraction is the kind of praise you are most confident in accepting. i’m the same. it’s not necessarily that i think i’m hot (i feel ugly quite a lot), but i am used to measuring my worthiness by how attracted i think others are to me. review your behavioral patterns. do these thoughts tend to crop up when your bpd is exacerbated? the feeling of annoyance you express about these thoughts tells me you’re like me. you’re not conceited. you have a confirmation bias because you’ve equated romantic desirability as the only means to validate yourself while in the presence of others. open to becoming pen pals or tumblr buds if you wanna talk this through. love and sex addiction ain’t easy! @bpd4bpd for more bpd advice @yournewpenpal on IG to become pen pals
This makes so much sense.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE HOLYYYYYYYYYYY HEK.
I would always describe to people that it's like I have 2 people inside me, the logical one and the emotional one but like its a actual thing
emotional permanence // reassurance
