Trying to hold it together

Today I have a self revelation about myself. My head is hurting from crying and crying at the thought I could have BPD. I do over react to minor things. I seem like a child who can’t hold it together. My emotions run me like a roller coaster. Who wants to deal with that ?? I wear a costume in the world of having it together. But I don’t and it’s ruining my life. I want to be able to control my emotions! I know I can’t control anyone else and that fine. It’s me who I have issues with . I don t know how long this will take. I need to learn coping skills. I want to be able to not over think . Anything is better than living through emotions .

I am very sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with your emotions. Taking the step to reach out is courageous of you and must not have been easy. keep your head up and take good care of yourself :).

for me the best way to get through something is to let myself feel the emotions. I'm struggling with depression and when I need to I cry and let it out. It does help,

Thanks for sharing and being open. I know how it feels to wear a mask and pretend like you're ok, when really, you are broken inside. It hurts so much. You are not alone in this, friend. Let's get through this one day at a time. Please feel free to watch this video for encouragement: https://youtu.be/6a1p1_jzM14
