If you really want to get better, follow the advice you get from mental health professionals. You've tried deciding on your own what's best for you and it clearly hasn't worked. It's up to you whether or not you really want to give a different approach a try, or keep doing everything your way and having the same outcomes.
El D, the whole sex addiction thing is a joke....I thought you already realized that and we're playing along.
The reason I don't want to leave code 3 is because he really is a good guy and I have complained in my therapy sessions and in person I come off as smart and in control. I tell the therapist that I go crazy and lose control of my mind, but there in person I'm introspective and in control and analyzing and I can't make them see how crazy I am when I'm manic. Everyone of the therapist said they did not think I had BPD and that code 3 was causing my stress and I needed to get away from him, but that's not going to fix me.
I can't explain it, but I just don't outwardly show anything and all this maddness is going on in my head and I'm really really good at looking normal. Even when I have an episode I don't outwardly show anything, I don't throw things or yell, I just text and post and if you were in the room with me you would think I was just relaxing and reading my phone. I've only raised my voice to code 3 maybe twice and I punched him in the chest that time.
I'm in control, but my mind is out of control and I can't effectively explain this to the therapist so that I can get the help I need resolving my issues.
