If so, please PM me. I'm a married mom and would just like to chat about bpd related topics. 

Fair warning... I'm kinda having a rough day also so there may be some venting, but I promise that it won't be towards anyone on here. It's so easy to be told to take a shower, or light a candle or dip your face in ice water but does that actually work for anyone? 

Seriously... I've taken DBT and yeah, I think some aspects are positive and I think the intent overall is good, but taking a baseball bat to the TV (if I had unlimited fund which is unfortunately not a possibility) seems like it would be more effective sometimes. 

Thankfully that's not the mood that I'm in right now... I just want to better understand this and not from the generic "This is BPD" summary. I know what BPD is. I've lived with it for decades. I know it pretty freaking well. At the same time I'm at that stage where I'm trying not to just react. I try to pause... let my emotions go crazy but not react on them yet. I'd like to better understand that part so if you've got some thoughts, please share them! (PM is better simply because this account isn't completely private for me, but of course it's ultimately up to you and what you feel comfortable sharing publicly.)
