DBT is probably the most effective way to cope with BPD, I’ve heard a lots of good things

I can attest to DBT, I’ve been in therapy since this fall and I’ve made heaps of progress. I haven’t had a full meltdown in 3 months. If you can’t afford it I have some great book recommendations!!

i believe it’s important to feel your feelings when youre in this state and journal if you can to later reflect. i go to talk therapy consistently and always contact i trusted person (mostly my husband) to lean on or vent to. i def get ridiculous but he is good with reorientating me

Currently my go to is a DBT skill is distraction. “Wise mind ACCEPTS” and “distracting with the 5 senses” ACCEPTS is an acronym: activities, contributing, comparing, emotions, pushing away, thoughts, and sensations. I’m using “contribution” and “comparison” as I type this, and it is helping a bit.
