Extreme fear of Bpd
Before everything: I learned about bod through tiktok I think IT was 2020 in summer when I heard about this disorder for the first time and ever since then I have been obsessing over it. My diagnosis are: ocd, gad and pmdd(we think so) I have always been quite sensitive to rejection and people critiquing me but this time I really do not know what it it. On Sunday, 4.9.2022, me and my lovely boyfriend of eight months have been on one short getaway to spa center. I was on last day of my period which was longer and more stressful since taking plan b and I had random ROCD flare up( I really think so)- so I started getting random intrusive thoughts about our relationship - does he like someone else, is he texting someone else, will he leave me etc… I know he doesn’t text anyone and I personally do not care I respect his privacy and I really do not want to feed into my compulsions and give them a chance to ruin my relationship. And I was so stressed out thinking about this that I really started to fear having bpd - I read all the symptoms and now I feel like I am forcing them- as I stated previously I am kinda sensitive but my reactions were not fitting into the diagnosis of how people with bpd would react- until now. Now that I know how typically people with bpd react- I obsess on how I feel when I hear certain things so much I would not normally react to such stuff like I did internally. That day after coming home from getaway I was very tired and went early to sleep and I had little argument with my parents about something and whilst lying in bed I heard my father saying that I got on his nerves and that sent me into spiral of intrusive thoughts about literally everything about me and then I started ruminating whether I have trauma from my childhood that is causing me these troublesome thoughts but I was ruminating and anxious all day.So I was so anxious and sad and hated what happened and now I am afraid of doing anything bad so I won’t feel like that ever again. I was not sensitive about words people have told me I am but now I literally expect reaction out of me for every word I hear. I hate this feeling like I know this is not me but why am I so emotional do I force this sadness almost feeling of sewecidal like I know this is not me at all and I hate having these thoughts because I was never like this before. I just wish this is my ocd playing games with me and if some of you guys had similar experience and it was ocd at the end.
