How often you get irritated because of small incidents and your whole day is ruined? How often do you feel your emotional switch is on, too much, too quick and too soon? If the frequency is high then you might be suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD) or emotion dysregulation problems. Here are the really good news: BPD is treatable and with an effective treatment you can live a fulfilling life.
Symptoms of BPD
Below are the most common symptoms of BPD:
• Short-lived relationships
• Fear of abandonment
• Impulsive behavior
• Unstable self-image
• Significant mood fluctuation
• Suicidal behavior
• Feeling of loneliness and much more
When these symptoms are present, it’s as if there is an emotional storm at all times; part of the treatment of BPD is to calm those emotional storms.
Calming Emotional Storms
When you are suffering from BPD, you spend most of the time fighting with your emotions. With empirically supported treatments you learn to handle effectively your emotions without minimizing, suppressing, fighting, avoiding or denying your feelings. You will notice that your emotions are like wave, they arouse and fade if you don’t resist them.
If the emotions are too intense…
Then, you and your therapist will come up with a soothing and calming plan so you can overcome the emotional storm without making things worse for yourself or the people around you. Here are some examples of exercises you and your therapist will agreed on: run luke-warm or cold water on your hands; hold an ice cube or any other frozen object tightly with your hands.
If you’re just too stress..
If you are feeling too much stress, then you can use your senses to calm yourself. Here are some suggestions and examples of what you will learn in therapy.
