	For this past year, I had thought that I was past my anger outbursts. I’ve managed the emotion seamlessly with the coping skills that my therapist and I have been working on. I’ve been under a huge amount of stress for the past few days, which is not something I handle well. My FP (my girlfriend) and I were talking on the phone about it, and I couldn’t be comforted at all. I ended up snapping at them; I said a hurtful thing in a raised voice. The hurtful thing was my truth and I stand by it, but I phrased it very poorly and hurt FP’s feelings, not to mention triggered them by raising my voice.
	Now I can’t stop spiraling. They don’t want to talk to me. What if they leave me? What will I do? How did I get this bad? I thought I had gotten better at coping and living with my BPD. I feel like I’ve taken a thousand steps back in my healing process. How do I deal with this setback? How do I explain this to FP? I’ve hinted at my BPD to them, but never outright told them. I think they know, though. I just don’t know how to recover from this right now. I could really use some advice or words of comfort from people who understand what I’m feeling. I appreciate all of you.
