Are you on HRT? UwU

I do take pills, but this looked funnier.

Also if you're on the fence about if it'll be "worth it," I'm making the decision for you. Start HRT. NOW.

Um, hi. Your posts about bpd have been incredibly relatable. I was wondering if you knew of any unique overlap between bpd and plurality, or any way symptoms might clash.

For example I know for someone with adhd rigid routine can be exhausting and uncomfortable, but for an autistic person, it can be necessary to not get overstimulated. People who have both often deal with a lot of internal conflict over these two needs.

Thanks in advance c:

Yes. There are a lot of overlaps and struggles with being both plural, and having bpd. People with BPD exist in extremes, black and whites. The way we think, the way we handle situations. It's very hard to be rational and look at the nuances of situations. You can feel complete and total love for someone one moment, then abject hatred the next. This can be even more intensive for one of your favored persons. This is a scenario called "Splitting" where all of your thinking goes to one extreme or another. "They said they don't care after opening up to them. They just hate me and I should distance myself from them." or "They didn't keep this promise. Everything they've ever said is a lie and I cannot trust anything about them." or even "This was a small overstep of their boundaries. I am the absolute worst and I shouldn't be their friend anymore. I should go." This can even lead to some very chaotic intrusive thoughts, and even outright internal fabrications about that person in particular. Someone with BPD may entirely change every way of how they carry themselves and view others based on even the slightest change in tone.

Because of this, very often with BPD you WILL feel like a different person. Which makes it very hard to distinguish it from things that may be shared with DID or OSDD symptoms. You're more likely to fawn and freeze with frictions and conflicts with others. You're more likely to adapt to and mirror others you're closer with. You may find yourself acting like a mini-me for some of your friends, partners favored persons, and even abusers. Taking in their behaviors and mannerisms. Much of this can take years to unpack, unlearn, and reassociate. It's not uncommon for a person with BPD to become infatuated with a new FP and start to make attempts to change their whole personality and outward presentations to align with that person, or with that person's likes and wants. We often internalize the people we infatuate and obsess over into ourselves. People with BPD often refer to ourselves in plural terms, "let's do this," "we should do this," etc. because of this. It makes it really hard to piece together who you really are. And if you're plural this causes a lot of internal confusion and friction.

You should caution yourself if you're diagnosed with BPD and questioning if you're plural. This isn't an attempt to gatekeep, but a genuine wish for you to moderate yourself and take your time to figure yourselves out.

Trick or treat!

Here! Take a nice, full-sized candy bar because I'm awesome! Also one less transphobe to worry about, but that's completely unrelated!

Any thoughts on Monster Hunter?

I need to play more before any solid opinions.

I tried to play World when Iceborne came out, but my PC wasn't up for it.

And I've really tried to get into Rise. But everyone I've played with knew MonHun more altogether and progressed too fast for me to really learn to play.
