Is it weird that I WANT to be diagnosed

I kind of just want to know whats wrong with me. Ive always known there was something. Last physcstrist or however its spelt said I meet the criteria for BPD but cant diagnosed yet especially since im only 18, my new counselor says she wants me to get screened for ADHD and the NEW physcitrist said he is seeing hints of MAYBE bipolar that everyone is confusing for other things. Im kind of scared. I dont want Bipolarm ive always suspected BPD so I have kinda come to terms with it but bipolar would be worl shattering for me and my family.

Looking for a place to stay

Anyone have a cheapish place for an 18 year old girl to stay? I have no car and about 1000 bucks. Or any ideas of places that will help me with getting a cheaper place to stay? Thank you

Called police on ex, we really done this time.

We have been in and off for a year and a half and have a kid together that I only take care of. Even just this past Wednesday we were fine and loving up on each other. But today we were fighting and he posted my nudes mid fight. Without thinking i just called and filed a report with the screenshot I had. They cited him abd will be moving the case through the system and right now hes being charged with a felony. He blocked me after the police officer left his house. I know i did what was right for me and my son bc his actions were getting stupid and agressive even for our immature fighting. But now I know my baby daddy's mom is going to be all "you did that and youre hurting the baby by doing that. Youre not thinking about whats best for him." And probably call cps on me as she cant really do anything else as her son is not on my sons birth certificate ans right now it wouldnt be the best time for him to try to go get his rights. I know im gonna miss having him in my life. He was my best friend and when we got along he knew me better than anyone else. Im so upset this is what it came to. I really dont wanna have to keep living life as a single mom without him but I know its best for me and my baby to do so and to push him and his family as far away as possible. Im so sorry Austin. I love you. But I wish you werent so stupid.

How do i stop being a hard person to be around

This post is really gonna make me look bad. But like genuinely how do vou stop beina an asshole? I have BPD and im supposed to be taking Latuda to help with mv mood swings. Havnt been on it since my son was born on Mav 18th though. Im 18 and a sinale mom. Still talk to his dad we had a long conversation the other day about how we were gonna fix our relationship and everything then he spend the next day calling me a hoe and blowing up my phone accusing me of shit while i was at work. I kept my cool and thought I could look past that and went forward with the whole us fixing our shit. Nope. He came iver today. I was looking forward to it and evervthing. I bought him his favorite aummies and everything so I know i was excited before. But then when he got here we kinda just got freaky and then about an hour later he went outside to aet food his mom doordashed him (even though i had told him i planned on making food for everyone for dinner) and I kinda is locked him out. lanored his calls and knocking pleading to get back in until he left. Then i iust told him I didnt want to be anvthing with him. Didn't want him loving up on me and he was just a fuck to me. Part of that is true. I dont think i really want him around like that anymore. Im iust attached to him. How to just stop? Why am I such an asshole? Like we've always had a relationship like this but its always been me. I lose my shit over small things and then just turn into the worst person to know. We were doing fine but for some reason something in my brain just switches and I become mean. He keeps telling me that I am the problem. My own and everyone elses. Its gotten to the point where ive thought about giving him and his family my son and just disappearing because people are better not knowing me and maybe then I can make something of myself. But ive never been bad to my son and I think I would forever regret not being there as he grows up. How do I just be normal?

The start of a newish life

So i lost my shit on my ex. I shouldnt have. Called me a lot of bad things, but all the little things built up ans I lost it. We have a kid together and we're both 18. Since the kids been born ive tried my hardest to make it the 3 of us. But I always got "maybe ill come see you" "ill think about it" or "probably not" when I would ask for help with the baby. And now im blocked everywhere. He lives with his parents who want to see the baby all the time, they were supposed to watch fhe baby while I worked this weekend, i told them I changed my mind. Im still gonna let them have Saturday with him just so I can go get a new peircing but then agter that, the inly way they can come see him is at my house or if we meet up somewhere. Until he did comes to me he aint seeing my son. He doesnt get to pick when hes a parent. I might even chnage my mind on this Saturday, if I can get someone to bring me who i can bring the baby with, imma just message them "sorry, I changed me mind, you can come visit him though" even though its gonna piss them off, im standing on business with their son. I also just got a new job today, first full time job. Him finally fully blocking me and staying out of my life has given me a new sense of freedom. His mom isn't going to like me restricting him so his dad cant see him (not that he cares, she jusy wants to force him to be a dad) but i feel so 😇😇

Ovulation test ??

Ive never used ovulation tests before, im 35 days postpartum and me and daddy have been using the pull out method. The ovulation test i took yesterday was negative but had a semi strong line, then the 2 I took today had one barely visible then no line at all, does this mean I mightve ovulated a few days ago? Hoe long does it take for the peak for the line completely disappearing? I know being postpartum messes with this.

Scared for the first poop!

Im 4 days pp now I tore slightly and have not been taking stool softeners as I now see people recommending, did not know that before. I have had a whole life of bad luck when it comes to bowl movements and I am so scared for this. How do I clean? Do I use the peri bottle then just get in the shower just to make sure? How did you guys do it?

I am so heartbroken over the stupidest thing.

So to start off i am 40 weeks pregnant and 3 days. So thats probably where a lot of my emotions are coming from. But I havnt gone to my senior yesr of hs this year, I was online due to my pregnancy and js wanting to work. But tonight there was an awards ceremony and I was told I was getting one. My mom mad eme go bc I was having bad anxiety about beinf around people but once I got there and settled I was actually kind of okay being there. About a little over an hour in I had to pee (as a pregnant women does) so I wait to when im sure I didnt get anything and go. Im gone maybe 2 minutes and i come back to my mom telling me they had js called my name for a scholarship and I look up and the people on stage are walking off. I had missed it. The one thing I came for. I just wanted to feel normal and like I fit in a little bit. And I messed it up for myself. It was a scholarship for $5,000 and I would've been so happy to accept it and feel accomplished, but I couldn't. Ive been crying for about an hour, we ended up just leaving. I wouldve gotten another reward, they called me up again after I left my bd told me. But I am js so angry and upset.
