I’m gonna start by saying that I don’t yet have a BPD diagnosis. However my mom did and she experienced similar things. Basically I go back and forth between loving and hating my cats or a dog I’m caring for (I pet-sit). I LOVE animals, always have, always will. I already own many pets with my fiancé and plan on having more. But the majority of the time they start getting into something, or screwing around, or do something that bothers me, I get really angry. I realize they don’t know any better and they’re usually just trying to show affection and I’m getting better at being aware when I feel this way but I was wondering if anyone else goes off on their pets? Like one minute I want a dog all over me on the couch and the next second their claws are on me a little too much and I’ll get extremely mad, tell them loudly to get off or shove them off and then I’m pissed for a little while and want them to chill tf out and leave me alone. I sometimes yell at them which I know I shouldn’t be doing at all, since they don’t understand it and it can be traumatizing. I want to emphasize that there is never physical abuse or neglect of any kind and it’s fairly short lived anger before I feel super guilty and ashamed of myself and love them again. I realize non-BPD pet owners kind of experience this love-hate thing as well, but mine’s much faster in changing and usually intense, extreme, and trauma-response-like. DAE experience this?
