I know this is weird, but i don’t think i’m alone either. i’ve just finished the silent patient, read it in a day. Over the course of reading it i felt anxious, like i had inhabited the lack of moral compass exhibited by the main character. i’m a huge fan of true crime and i don’t go without youtube videos detailing horrifying cases in the background of whatever i’m doing. i have a weird fear that i am going to act out these things, i know i won’t, i would never. but i cant stop these intrusive thoughts. i know they aren’t me, but it’s scary. i feel like i have a hard time splitting the feelings the characters are having and my own. i know bpd displays a weird lack of self stability and stuff but i didn’t know that my thoughts could be overtaken like this? i know this will pass but i have so much guilt and fear in myself. i wanted to know if anyone else could relate and maybe even provide some advice?
