How Do Others With BPD Deal With Stress?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and for those who don't know, it's extremely difficult to regulate emotions as we tend to feel them more intensely then others. I am asking because I had a pretty bad stressing event today, When I become stressed, the emotion becomes out of control too quickly and I get extremely angry and I start to panic. Not only that but after a little while if the stressing event continues I break down and cry for a good while and I feel completely and utterly… read more

I know how you feel. I never knew it was called that. I get that way when my boyfriend stays out for a long time I end up getting mad and then I end up crying and I break down. It ends up taking me a long time to calm down. I end up going for a walk sometimes when it gets bad with my anger so it helps me calm down for going for a walk. Writing this out is very hard for me to admit this but it's sad but true. I hope hearing this helps knowing your not alone feeling like that.

I have always suffered these same feelings and have a hard time calming down once I start to feel this way. I also tend to get self destructive and turn on myself and believe that it is all my fault. I used to totally go nuts when my husband was gone and I didn't know exactly where he was. Total insecurity😱lol. I have learned some breathing technique's, like heart math and thought reversal. Try to talk to your therapist and see if he or she can get you skills training. It has really helped me calm myself in most of my stress. We just gotta retrain our brains 😛 try to think of one thought that makes you happy or calm, when you start to freak out breath in and out to the count of 4 and try to focus on that one thought. Most of the time you will calm down at least enough to think a little more rationally. Hope ytjis helps you. All my prayers
