I’m trying to learn some of these skills via self help. While DBT skills are a life saver and gives me hope, they can also feel overwhelming to learn.

Today I realized I’m a bit more stable than usual, so I took a day “off”. That isn’t to say I neglected self care, but more like... I decided not to stress out about it for a day. 

I wore makeup and played some video games and ate my favorite cake. I’m going to get back to doing worksheets again starting tomorrow, but for now, I feel good and relaxed. I guess theres a balance with DBT too.
