I was diagnosed with mild-moderate BPD around 9 months back. And my therapist says that it's mostly EUPD since the symptoms of self harm is absent. I've had extremely low to high days since 4 months especially. I screwed up my own relationship, got mad at everyone possible &amp; didn't move much, didn't even bathe much. Even the tiniest of thing would trigger me and I thought everything was falling apart - relationship, work, health.

But I managed to finally learn some skills by doing this-

1. Did yoga + breathwork
2. Closed my eyes and tried to calm down by thinking of happy things when I felt triggered.
3. Stayed away from phone and didn't rely on anyone to help me feel better by getting validation+reassurance
4. Resumed reading Alain de botton's - school of life after a month
5. Watched extra amount of the office.
6. Focussed on work and paused, stepped away from situations that triggered me.
7. Walked a lot - movement and being aware of negative thoughts helped me.

But, just while writing this post I started feeling triggered because of an uncomfortable situation so I just acted opposite to action.

Life's probably not gonna be like this every single day but I know I have the power to control certain things even if we're all in the most uncontrollable scenario. I know I can find happiness in myself even if I'm far away from my FP, in an LDR of 3+ months now and even practising virtual distancing with him for a few days because it's important for me to learn skills that make me emotionally independent and I start getting rid of codependency patterns.
