I think that trying to cope with  my mom's death and the fact that my business is failing, overwhelms me. When my mom passed away, I inherited her 9mm pistol.

Problems have more to do with the financial things involved in owning a business more than anything. That being said, I had my kids this weekend and after I dropped them off, I got a text from their mom saying how my oldest daughter came in and started crying...saying she didn't want to go to my house anymore because Gwen is always on her http://borderlinepersonalityblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/july-2012-check-in.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (me)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069708362273200712.post-148547276909782315Mon, 02 Jul 2012 00:48:00 +00002012-07-01T19:48:51.052-05:00 When my mother passed away, I inherited her pistol. I refuse to buy bullets for it. I know I could snap at any moment and aim it towards myself. I also know that I could not pull the trigger because I have my children to live for. Quite the predicament. I want to make an impact on the world, but haven't...yet. Today isn't necessarily a terrible day, but its just a day filled with nothingness.

It was extremely sudden and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her. It still doesn't seem real. It's been over 6 months now and I haven't had the big cry/breakdown that I expect one to have after the loss of a close family member.

I have been on 100mg of Lamictal for a year at least? I imagine that has a big role in my BPD episodes being far less frequent. Don't get me wrong, it still is a daily struggle, but it almost seems somewhat manageable. Since my last post, I would say that I have had maybe 1 violent moment, but the rest of the time has been relatively calm.

I am here typing this from the house I've been living at for the past month. Gwen's house. Kind of a shocker,huh? Let me try to backtrack a bit. In mid August, I felt like I was finally financially able to afford to move out of Grandma's and into my own place. During this time, Gwen and I had been casually chatting on an almost daily basis. http://borderlinepersonalityblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/revelation.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (me)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069708362273200712.post-454489782926133411Sat, 05 Jul 2008 03:43:00 +00002008-07-09T23:11:40.732-05:00anxietyborderline personality disorderbpddepressionSo when I last left you, I promised to tell you the story of the girl I met. Well that didn't last too long, so I'll paraphrase. I met a girl from mexico. She was pretty,smart,never married no kids. She was also here on a tourist visa and had to leave in May. Now I have a problem having a relationship in the same city,much less different countries. For the first few weeks after she went back, I http://borderlinepersonalityblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/i.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (me)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069708362273200712.post-906509843466313059Fri, 16 May 2008 02:36:00 +00002008-05-15T22:03:01.734-05:00borderline personality disorderbpddepressionJust figured I would check in. I'm still alive and haven't gone off the deep end,lol. My last post was in January and all in all, things have been ok. I ended the relationship with Gwen for good a long time ago. We still talk from time to time, but its strictly as friends. I noticed I received quite a few comments from my "wake up call" post, mostly negative, but it's cool, its just others http://borderlinepersonalityblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/hey-there.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (me)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069708362273200712.post-5573929616823414182Mon, 07 Jan 2008 10:28:00 +00002008-01-07T05:33:36.268-06:00borderline personality disorderbpdcheatingdepressionAlright, so maybe I didn't follow through on my plan to post more frequently. Today I'll try to recap what has been going on in the past month. I guess I need to preface this post by explaining something. Last summer, I met a girl, whom I'll refer to as Gwen. She quickly became one of my closest friends, but it wasn't your typical friendship.

I'm not really sure why I've been reluctant to do so. Wait, I remember, I was dating a girl in October who found my blog. Obviously I'm not going to post whats really going on just to have her read it. Anyhow, that ended a few weeks back, so here I am again.

Pretty crazy the last few weeks, no pun intended. Quick recap, started the new job on October 1st and so far so good. With my I.T. background, I've been having to spend the last few days doing computer stuff though. I designed our website and helped them select and install equipment.

I realized that when it comes to sex, I'm much more interested in convincing the girl to sleep with me, then I am in the act itself. It's like I seduce a woman and it's great. Then say we start dating and it's a month down the road, I start to lose interest. Not in the girl necessarily, but in having sex with her.

Unless I was passed out drunk, I haven't slept this long in months. As obvious as it may sound, I think the key to this was keeping myself busy throughout the day so I wouldn't take naps out of boredom. Also, instead of being up on the computer right up to bedtime, I shut it off earlier and read for a good 20 minutes. Hopefully it will repeat itself tonight.

I have been feeling down, I am always tired and I spend a good amount of my free time lying in bed looking up at the ceiling in a daze. If I can get 6 hours of sleep a night, its a great thing. Since I'm always tired, I end up taking naps throughout the day. I think alot of it has to do with boredom. I think back to maybe 2 years ago.

This simple piece of advice was given to me by my therapist last year and has stuck with me. The problem is, the disconnect between understanding this and actually applying it.
