Coping with BPD: Seeking Advice for Managing Intense Emotions

What are the best ways to cope with having BPD? I am medicated, going through psychotherapy, and I have temporary distractions but I still find myself struggling with sudden and intense emotions, especially if something - no matter how small - upsets me in some way. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

There are plenty of meditation techniques that can help with swings in intense emotions. I use the app Balance which is currently free for a year. I use it just before I go to bed mostly but I'd I need to confront an intense swing of emotion it has come in handy. I am also doing everything you are doing and granted its taken me a long time. Also, dealing with your negative self-talk can change your perspective and ability to handle those emotions if your self-esteem is higher. It's not a simple fix but all of that really helps. I promise. Hope this is useful for you x

I would recommend dialectical behavioral therapy. It changed my life, especially when it came to emotional disregulation, rumination, and addiction.
