BPD triggers are different for each individual. On a general note, triggers are commonly either external or internal. External triggers are when trigger is from outside such as rejection of any kind, loss of job or relationship. Internal triggers are when trigger is from your mind such as any memory, location, image of past traumatic experience or loss.

Question

I've been experiencing dreams every single day, and sometimes they get really scary. When I wake up from these, I feel so restless and tired, like I haven't slept at all. This has been happening since I was a kid, but after my dad passed away when I was 23, the dreams got much worse. He would often appear in my dreams and I would cry. Although it's not as intense now, I still have this issue with dreams every day, even if I take a nap during lunch. It affects me so much that I just feel exhausted all the time. I've never talked to a doctor about this before, but I'm starting to really worry. Could you please help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I'm feeling a bit stuck and could really use some advice. I've been dealing with anxiety for around nine months and have been on medication, gradually reducing the doses as my doctor advised. Everything was going okay until I had a panic attack ten days ago. My doctor then prescribed etizola beta 0.25 mg for ten daysdouble dose for the first five, then single. After switching to the single dose, I was handling the withdrawal symptoms fine, but for the last two days, I've needed to take my dose in the morning instead of the evening because the symptoms get worse then. I'm not sure if I should increase my dose? I'm in the process of changing doctors, and the new one won't be available until Monday, so I'm kind of in a bind for the next couple of days. What should I do?

Question

I'm really curious about what happens if someone masturbates 4 to 5 times a day. Could it have any negative effects on the mind if it's done that often? Is this something I should be worried about?
