Add to this people who I know blatantly lie to me and then deny they are and **** me I blow my stack. I did actually do this yesterday when I felt someone attacked me at work cause they wanted something (tone of the request) and I could have belted them. Lucky the new team leader is a better leader than the old one and was understanding of my position as he is going through a lot of garbage too. I'm also doing a MSV course to help me understand why I might get violent and how to deter it.

Here is an example of why my ex thinks I have a form of childhood PTSD. Why should I remember so many details. It's almost like I relive it. There was this one piece of crap who had to repeat who knows how many levels of education and would constantly go out of his way at the school bus stop or even on the bus, to humiliate, ridicule and terrorise anyone he wanted to. Just because he could. One day he starts smacking one of my friends in the head. My friend is sitting right next to me and this piece of crap reaches across and just starts smacking my friend in the head. I threw a block to stop him. Got up and took a defensive position. I saw a twitch from his lat and knew a punch was coming my way. Threw another block and damn it, his hand came right inside my block and smacked me right upside the head. His mouth starts moving and a bunch of unintelligible words came out. Right now I'm thinking "oh ****", this guy has a bad disposition, is twice my size, has me in his sites and knows what he is doing with the fists. I go back to "oh ****" again, but damnit I'm going to make him pay for this win. Out of the blue, here comes Judy, the goddess, and smacks him up side the head as hard as she could. Starts yelling at him, calling him all sorts of things and not to use this bus again. He didn't dare touch her. The whole bus load of students would have jumped him. Thank you Judy. Crazy that such situations had to develop. |

definitely. you don't actually see it in yourself and you blame others. the first part of getting well is first admitting that you have a problem and taking those first steps. Its very hard tho to make people recognise that they have it

I only posted that in response to another member because he asked what I was studying.
IT is indeed a broad subject but I'm actually involved in basically every aspect including programming, web development, networking and customer support. Of course, each of those core subjects branch off into others but it's not relevant to explain exactly what I'm versed in and I doubt anyone really cares ![]() |

When I was learning to calm the f down and chilling about my anger with people, I looked inside myself and asked myself this question: How did I contribute to this situation? It's all too easy to put the blame on someone else, it takes action and reaction. Not always the other persons fault. You've got to be honest with yourself first guys. Part of my "tool" kit for dealing with crap. I'm winning this battle, not over yet by a long mile. Cheers!

Isn't that the plain truth of it all, admit to being human can elude many people, hey it took me near 40 years to openly tell people i may annoy or offend you unintentionally or intentionally without cause, i have a mental illness but could also just feel like being a pri...priceless non conformer for a change of pace.

Does anyone else, just once in blue moon, enjoy watching a strangers unsure reactive response to something you just blurted out to get a bite out of them , as if they were old friends? or it could be another sympton of BPD, like i enjoy faining arrogance to hide introversion or something Freudian anyway

![]() I'm just glad I do not have to work help desk any more because that drives me up the wall. I like helping people but nobody likes being treated like crap or being treated like another person's mistake is their own. Still, I'm experiencing a considerable amount of isolation at the moment as well as feeling a lot of pressure trying to maintain a healthy work/study/personal life balance. I often wonder what ever happened to the confidence and happiness I felt a few years ago ![]() |

If i then said i'd agreed to do the job for 20k less per year than the going rate and agreed to take less in the first half of the contract so they could coninue paying the current greenkeeper for 3 months whilst he taught me his trade. What more should i do to accommodate. If you went to work and were twice as productive as the bloke going home early on a long weekend, would you accept it. I know i've got issues, i take responsibility for that and manage them the best i can, but i wont tolerate being used. Last edited by BENT_8; 09-03-2016 at 01:19 PM. |

I know, unless your friends are in IT there is really not much to discuss with your friends. If you get into any kind of detail they look at you like you have 2 heads, are green and speaking martian.

There are certain people across places and time you don't forget and she is one of them. That was a crystallizing moment where everybody on that bus decided that guy had to go, and he did. He never rode that bus again. I have many other stories of that "interesting" time. I agree, conflict when on a personal level, can be very difficult to handle, especially when your child is coping with issues. I have a daughter from my ex who is actually 4 months older than my lady. I was very involved with my daughters school and sports, so I saw a lot of interaction among the kids. Maybe you have noticed this, up here, girls in the ~11 - ~16 yr age group can be very mean to their "own" that is other girls of the same age group. She grew up in a much better neighbourhood than I did, but the issues of how girls treat one another was often very difficult. I think what you did was good. That is, letting your child steer the path and then provide support for these situations. |

Maybe I do need to see another doctor about it but I really struggle to talk about emotions. I don't get upset but I'm fairly "switched off" and tend to ignore or distance myself from how I feel most of the time. I also don't want to bring others down and feel like if I start talking about it - that's when the negativity becomes real for others. Obviously we can't ignore how we feel forever and when it hits me it comes in waves. It forces me to ignore any of my accomplishments - all I can think about is mistakes I've made and the idea that I'll never succeed. Yep, it's not much fun. |

Feeling very anxious today, my chest is starting to tighten and usually work distracts me but today I'm having trouble shaking it.
My calming technique as stupid as it may sound to some of you is actually scanning Youtube for things to watch but being at work its going to be frowned upon considering the workload I have.

A few of my favourites... https://www.youtube.com/user/1veritasium https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3e...VletbyVoqSLYTA https://www.youtube.com/user/Vsauce https://www.youtube.com/user/ADoseofBuckley/videos It's a pity that you can't cruise YouTube at work (understandably I guess) but what about listening to a web-based radio station, and wearing earbuds?
