in response to: Re: BPD and self destruction

My sister has had a diagnosis of BPD and has similar struggles you describe. I just think you're all so brave living with this every day, especially the intense emotional pain when stressed. I thinkbi have it a bit as well, given similar childhood traumas, learning to read NY own emotions before they escalate is important to stop the distress. To own my feelings. I ground with insence, strong flavoured foods, massage my own feet, walk in the fresh air & sunshine a while - touching & smelling scented plants as i walk past, listen to the birds, or watch great feel good comedy & laugh out loud.
Staying on my antidepressants seems to stop the spiking
