What rejection really means.
Rejection is a moment, not a definition of your worth.
It’s when someone says, “No,” and that “no” can sting—
but it’s not proof that you’re unworthy.

Rejection is specific and situational:
you didn’t get the job, the date, the approval, the yes.
That’s all it is—one event, one boundary, one outcome.

When you start seeing rejection as an event, not an identity,
you free yourself from carrying every “no” like a wound.

Say it to yourself today:
👉 “That was a rejection, not a reflection.”

When you feel rejected, it can sting — but abandonment hits deeper.
Rejection is an event.
Abandonment is a story that keeps replaying.

That’s why rejection can trigger abandonment fears — especially if your sense of worth depends on others. When that happens, your mind can turn into a storm, and every gust feels personal.

🌀 The key is learning to re-anchor your worth internally, not in someone else’s approval.
Start small: name what’s yours to hold and what’s not.

You’re not a leaf in the wind. You’re the tree. 🌳

Retroactive jealousy isn’t about what’s happening now — it’s old pain resurfacing.
When you live with BPD, a comment or memory can feel like a new betrayal.
Pause before reacting.
Tell yourself: “This feeling is old. I’m safe now.” 🩶

It Feels Like Betrayal

It’s not about what your partner’s doing now — it’s what their past wakes up inside you.
Retroactive jealousy isn’t proof of betrayal. It’s your old wounds being touched again.
And when you have BPD, that old pain can feel as real as what’s happening today.

11/04/2025

When you live with BPD, a thought about your partner’s past can hit like a fresh betrayal.
It’s not about control—it’s an old survival pattern trying to protect you.
But what kept you safe before is now keeping you stuck.

Ever wonder why your emotions feel too big sometimes?
That might be your serotonin levels at work.

Serotonin helps balance mood, sleep, and energy — and when it’s low, emotions swing fast and hit harder. With balance, you feel steady; without it, every interruption can feel like an explosion.

It’s not “overreacting.” It’s chemistry.
And understanding it is the first step toward regulating it. 🧠

Kindness actually changes your brain chemistry.
Every small act — like saying thank you or I appreciate you — boosts serotonin and calms your body.
It’s not just polite; it’s neuroscience.

Try one today and notice how it feels.
Kindness toward yourself counts too. 💬

When you feel rejected, your brain demands perfection — not because you want control, but because you fear loss.

10/21/2025

You don’t chase perfection because you love control — you chase it because deep down, it feels safer than rejection. In this video, Dr. Fox explains how perfectionism in Borderline Personality Disorder starts as protection from fear of abandonment and rejection but becomes a trap that fuels self-blame and burnout. Learn how to see perfectionism for what it really is — a survival strategy that’s ready to be replaced with self-acceptance.

Ever notice how they twist the story so you end up feeling like the problem?
That’s not an accident—it’s narcissistic deflection.
They use charm, humor, or guilt to dodge responsibility and protect their ego.
Once you see the pattern, you stop taking the blame that isn’t yours.

10/14/2025

Narcissists rarely say, “I was wrong.”
Instead, they twist the story until you’re the one to blame.
This deflection isn’t random—it’s how they protect their ego and avoid guilt, shame, or doubt.
Once you see the pattern, you stop owning what was never yours.
