Often my BPD will get set off by an irrational fear of the worst case scenario in any given situation. Long story short, I’m realizing the less I try to force the situation to go my way, the more likely it is to go my way (this is probably because the worst case scenario is not very likely in the first place.) And vice versa, that the more I try to force a situation to avoid the worst case scenario, the more likely the worst case scenario becomes. While it’s easy to say, it’s really difficult not to act out in these situations. Even though I believe this to be true, it’s still difficult to execute given that my brain is telling me to panic. I’m in a tricky situation right now and I’m trying my best to stay level headed and not give in to panic throughout. Wish me luck!
