DBT is my favorite. Avoiding and refusing to accept reality is where most of our pain/trauma comes from. DBT gives you tools to confront and accept things and move on. I always found CBT absolutely worthless.

this is very funny to me, I have had the very same experience. were you pursuing treatment for borderline by chance? that's when this hit me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I DONT THINK IM REALLY BORDERLINE THOUGH, it's more like a humon has to learn new coping skills to deal with these relationship-focused mood swings induced by E. I bet I was not much worse than any given teenage hormonal girl. I have gotten my bad behaviors pretty crazy under control now compared to 2 years ago! Haven't driven off telling Juris im going to buy a rifle from walmart and hotel room in many moons -_-

As for my own health goalz. I am happy with my aesthetic right now, but I am muscularly very weak. I just survived about 6 months of intermittent starvation thanks to gut problem and god I am so weak I can't give a handjob. I am having trouble filling this poast out because my health plans are so ill-conceived right now [You must be logged in to view images.

I think I will mostly use the recumbent bike in my living room, and maybe do some winter snowshoeing and mountaineering this year. I've skipped 2 years of that!

To my knowledge it’s no longer referred to as BPD in the latest DSM but now as Complex PTSD

It used to be referred to as borderline because it was a mix of multiple different diagnosis, so it’s understandable for it to never feel like a good “fit” personally. It’s sort of something they would diagnose when other things also didn’t quite fit. But if it was diagnosed by a furry on the internet then I wouldn’t worry about it

As I’m sure ya’ll have heard, BPD clients have a reputation amongst clinicians as being challenging [You must be logged in to view images.

Edit: lol’d at exercise boner
