Hey all,

I'm not diagnosed as BPD, and I really can't go get a diagnosis, because I'm pursuing a career and if anyone found out I was BPD, they might not be cool with licensing me. I would also say that my struggle is not as bad as many people's, I don't abuse drugs, and I've never self-harmed, but those are both because I've stigmatized them so harshly for myself, I don't think I could if I wanted. The point is, this is very real for me. 

Anyways, I become so overwhelmed with emotions, and over-analyze them in others and myself. When I get angry, it's so incredibly angry but the worst I'll to is barrage text whoever pissed me off, I've never threatened them or anything like that. I can't make the anger subside or go away, it takes hours to do so on it's own. But occasionally, when I say to myself, "this is you being emotionally unstable, cut it out" I can temporarily drive off the emotion, whatever it is. What techniques do you guys use to mellow out? has anyone done DBT? How did it work?
