Title: Falling asleep and waking up signs
Post by: Changingman on February 17, 2014, 08:15:09 PM
'Falling asleep and waking up instantly. Sleep and waking is instantaneous with all psychopaths'

Although Bpd is not the same as Psychopaths can they exhibit some traits

Read this and found it to be true of my ex, it used to be one of the stories about her. Once she wanted to sleep it would take a minute. she was also into taxidermy as an idea.

I still wonder how much psychopathic traits she had, did anyone else experience this

My exBPDgf did not have this sleeping thing you refered to. She was really hard to wake up and had issues falling asleep. I don't think pwBPD are really psychopaths either, all though I understand why people might think that. Psychopaths don't have emotions, where a pwBPD has very intense emotions.

My opinion below.  Armchair Jung here:


If you found a warren of baby rabbits, would your ex find pleasure in stabbing them bloody with a sharp stick?

A psycho/sociopath might enjoy torturing the bunnies. They don't feel very much at all, so they seek extremes to feel. In addition, a sociopath knows the difference between right and wrong, but just doesn't care.  Everyone knows people like this when growing up.  Boys who liked torturing small animals just to hear them squeal in pain. Girls who were sadistically cruel to the less fortunate.

On the other hand, pwBPD feel everything at levels of 1000 times more than we do. They are three year olds. Think about how sensitive a three year old is to scolding, pain, fear, abandonment, confinement... . A pwBPD knows the difference between right and wrong, but doesn't have the executive function for self control.  Think about a three year and jar of cookies in the kitchen.

Both exhibit actions that can interpreted as sociopathic, that is without remorse or responsibility.  But the source motivation for the actions are from polar opposite starting point.

Sociopaths are not dangerous to me, cuz when I meet on I know to run.  

pwBPD on the other hand are as safe to me as casually shooting heroin.

mine had that, but there different reasons for falling asleep and waking up instantly. mine would either wake up to get me to either turn the ac off or on. And this happened a lot. There were also some times she would wake up from a bad dream and she would be in shock. But there were few occasion she would just fall asleep and wake up instantly for no reason at all.

i don't know if it were her BPD but mine could have had another overlapping disorder.
