Idk what parent needs to hear this but
Your kid’s room is their room. It’s not yours. It’s theirs. It their room. Knock before you enter. Don’t go through their stuff. Ask permission to use their things. I know you feel entitled to the space and the stuff because “it’s your house” or “you bought that bed” (or dresser, or clothes etc.) but you’re not entitled to it. Those are things you’re supposed to provide to your child. If someone gifts you a book it doesn’t mean they can come into your house and read it whenever they want, go through it or take it without asking.
Give your child some privacy please! I’m not saying to let them stay out late, let them lock their doors when they have guest over or, to just never check in on them. I’m saying to knock first. As permission. Let your child have boundaries. Because if you don’t they’ll grow up to be a “yes man.” They’ll grow up not knowing what healthy boundaries are and will be taken advantage of, walked on and abused. Don’t give your child an unnecessary rough start. Don’t be the source of their pain, stress, fear or anxiety.
You’re supposed to be their safe haven. And their room is supposed to be their safe haven. Being home, especially in their own room, shouldn’t be stressful. It should be comfortable. It should be safe.
“walking around” can be one of your hobbies

siri please restart my life
My problem is I never healed I just kept going
bpd is telling someone you've known for barely an hour, they're your favourite person to exist and you would give them your entire heart and when they don't reciprocate it after the next hour you feel heartbroken then hate them more than yourself and tell yourself they ain't shit but then you grieve them and plan to never interact again only to get excited again thinking about them but then you picture killing them. All in a few hours.
You ever just feel burnt out on being alive, like every single thing remains pointless no matter how much effort you put in... *sigh*
