Hi there,
I just have some questions for other people with BPD that I think would help with me trying to understand myself a little better.

Have you gone to DBT and been in it for a while, gotten "better" and then only realize it's because you're suppressing your emotions?

Do you put your emotions into catagories? I have  primary and secondary catagories that consist of the main emotions that I feel (general happiness, depression, anger, and anxiety) and the ones I feel that I can't articulate (worry,  jealousy, more complex emotions).

Going on from that question, do you ever ask for help when trying to describe a secondary emotion, but it's still not enough to fit what you're feeling, not because it's intense but because something's just off about it?

If you suppress your emotions like I do (I still feel just at less than normal) do you struggle with random spouts of emotion? Like when I get happy after suppressing for a while I end up crying. But not really because I'm happy but because the emotion is so overwhelming that my brain just goes to crying to release.

I'll probably have more questions but this is my first time actually reaching out to people like me, so I wanna take it easy.
