I wonder if anyone else with BPD experiences this. Something (could be a tiny inconvenience, for example something that someone close to you says or does, that wouldn't usually cause an extreme reaction in normal people) makes you upset, and even though you may really want to feel normal again and just get over it because you realise it's stupid, you just can't. You then get 'stuck' feeling empty for sometimes hours on end, just waiting for it to blow over because absolutely nothing can fix it but time, even though you are aware that a great deal of your time is being wasted. Almost like short-lived grudges over miniscule things, which temporarily paralyse your mind and emotions. Nobody can talk you out of it even if you want to be talked out of it, you just have to... wait.
