Title: BPD's telling tatoo Post by: fromheeltoheal on October 03, 2013, 03:40:30 PM By BPD ex got a tattoo of a quote she considered very significant, important enough to permanently emblazon on her back.
It went: “If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I?” Pretty famous quote, didn't mean much to me at the time, although she made sure to tell me she got topless in front of 3 or 4 tattoo guys and they enjoyed it. But now that I've learned a bunch about the attachment nature of the disorder and the way a BPD thinks, her motivation has become clearer and the tattoo more telling. Any other body art that raised an eyebrow or two?

Should have payed attention. Must truthful thing about her.

"Save me from Myself" in large calligraphy across his lower back. It was hard for me when family were negative about him and mum said it should say "Save you from myself".

Go mum! |iiii Lol mum would laugh at that. Yes it's quite amazing when you've never before been aware of the traits of BPD or similar, just how many niggling little things you overlook or excuse. I often thought it was all caused by his divorce and grief but mum said a few times, what if these problems occurred much longer than in his recent past. It's been a pretty heavy roller coaster ride to be on... .I would describe it as bittersweet. I'm still sad for him. I'm hoping I've been taken for the last ride and can really stick to letting go now and moving on.

Lyrics: Your flirt finds me out Teases the crack in me Smittens me with hope Possibly maybe, possibly maybe, possibly maybe As much as I definitely enjoy solitude I wouldn't mind perhaps Spending little time with you Sometimes, sometimes Possibly maybe probably love Possibly maybe probably love Uncertainty excites me Baby Who knows what's going to happen? Lottery or car crash Or you'll join a cult Probably maybe, possibly love Probably maybe, possibly love Possibly Mon petit vulcan You're eruptions and disasters I keep calm Admiring your lava I keep calm Possibly maybe probably love Possibly maybe probably love Electric shocks I love them With you dozen a day But after a while I wonder Where's that love you promised me? Where is it? Possibly maybe probably love Possibly maybe probably love How can you offer me love like that? My heart's burned How can you offer me love like that? I'm exhausted Leave me alone Possibly maybe, possibly maybe, possibly maybe Since we broke up I'm using lipstick again I suck my tongue In remembrance of you Possibly maybe, possibly maybe Possibly maybe, possibly maybe Possibly maybe, possibly maybe Title: Re: BPD's telling tatoo Post by: happylogist on October 04, 2013, 07:22:42 AM His dream tatoo: a cross between the Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth and a Buddhist Mandala on his chest... .No idea whether it is a red flag :)
