I am on lamictal and it has helped a ton with being able to control anger a lot better tbh and I just started with a new therapist to work on dbt skills. But what do you guys do to stay calm during an argument or just communicating with your significant other? 

I’ve gotten good about separating myself when I feel myself about to spiral and putting earbuds in and putting on music. But I want to be able to have those difficult conversations and not explode. Because every time I do have an episode it’s so draining. The regret after is so shitty and then I just cry and then go completely numb then just fall asleep for hours. It also affects my partner obviously and just honestly ruins both of our days. Does it get better guys?:((

I went like 2 years misdiagnosed so I definitely seeing a difference from then now with the knowledge and treatment. But I just want it to all go away. :/ oh what I’d do to have a normal brain.
