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

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
