So to start off, although I have never been formally diagnosed, I am about 95% certain I have BPD. The main reason I haven’t wanted to get diagnosed is because of the stigma that comes with it. With that being said, I have extreme difficulty with emotionally triggering situations. The best example of this would be with my boyfriend. Even if an argument is about something small I somehow know how to spiral things out of control and make a mountain out of a mole hill. Last night was the most recent occurrence and it ended with me trying to jump out of a driving car, smashing my head on the concrete, trying to take pills to overdose, among other things. To me the biggest problem here is myself and not my boyfriend cause I’m always the one who leads into these events. I was just wondering if anyone has advice on how to deal with your emotions in situations like that? It’s almost as if a fog comes over me and I can’t think straight which leads to me becoming extremely irrational in the moment. Afterwards I always feel incredibly ashamed and can’t believe I would even act like that, it’s quite a strange feeling. Does anyone have techniques on how to self sooth your emotions after they’re triggered? I wish I could just take a pill when I feel these things happening and stop it before it gets bad. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
