ive been having a rough few months and honestly I lost the handle on all the skills I learnt in DBT...


but I've rediscovered mindfulness! regular meditation practise is the trick for me. it's such a beautiful thing. its like I have a loving and peaceful place in my own head that I can retreat to. even tho I forget its there a LOT of the time... its still there.


ive been thinking a lot about 'getting better' lately and really i feel like it's a case of putting the effort in to build a new, healthy self esteem. which is Touuuuugh work. I hope one day I can have the same amount of trust in myself that most people seem to have. anyway for me meditation is such a great way to do this because you really get to spend time with yourself. and my true, true self is calm and love. sorry to get all spiritual on y'all but when I sit and do nothing for 10 mins I know that i (we) are all part of the same one and it's lovely.


does anyone else have one particular area of DBT they keep coming back to? a regular practice that helps keep everything manageable?
