Practicing #acceptance today. Each brush stroke fills me with fear that she will be ruined 😭but creativity should be fun, not ruled by judgement of results. I struggle with #watercolour because I love the results when you give them freedom to move, but I also want to have control of the outcome. Practice of the #middleway and #wisemind is fully embodied in how I tackle watercolor painting 😂 #fearlesscreativity #pseudoartist #painting #drawing #faerie #wip

LETTING GO OF EMOTIONAL SUFFERING

We can feel depressed, but we can also suffer because we are feeling depressed. And often the suffering is worse than the feeling because it involves beating ourselves up over feeling bad which just makes it worse.

#DBT Lesson 5-7(because it took me 3 days to curate all this material) Another DISTRESS TOLERANCE skill is called Wisemind ACCEPTS. These skills are temporary Distractions when your emotions are overwhelming or untimely. Do a hobby or pleasant ACTIVITY that draws all of your attention. Sports, reading, TV, etc. CONTRIBUTE by doing volunteer work or just a favor for a friend or random act of kindness for a stranger. COMPARE your current feelings to the way you reacted in the past or read about tragedies around the world to give you perspective. Do something to make you feel the Opposite EMOTION. Ie. When I am feeling sad and down I listen to motivating and empowering music to remind me to keep going. And when I am angry, I'm not in the mood for music at all. But I listen to comedy on Pandora and I feel better in no time. You can temporarily PUSH AWAY those thoughts by building a figurative wall that you can open at a later time. When the feelings or thoughts come back, say "NO!" And revisit it later. Actively occupy your THOUGHTS by counting to 10, counting objects of a certain color, doing word or logic puzzles, repeating song lyrics in your head, etc. Use SENSATIONS to shock your system similar to TIPP skills. Put Ice in your hand or mouth. Take a hot bath. Snap a rubberband on your wrist. Squeeze a stress ball. Play loud music, etc. Keep in mind that these are all just examples and not every distraction will help every person or work in every situation. Find what works best of you and practice in less intense moments to build #MASTERY. #mindfulness #wisemind #distresstolerance https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxv_kwygY6T/?igshid=1knhsh2bdbor9

Spinning

I would like to point out that yes there are triggers in this. 

But lets be honest here– having BPD means life itself is triggering. So lets just get over the whole trigger thing for a moment.

I think the hardest thing about having BPD is having no will to live. I’ve yet to meet another Borderline face to face but I imagine they would have learned to conceal this obsession with suicide. I call it an obsession because it fits the definition (at least for myself). I think about suicide almost daily, it often takes over my thoughts and I find myself trying desperately to pull myself from its gravity.

I’ve had attempts – clearly those were nothing more than attempts. I tried to die from drug overdose and let me tell you right now - It fcking sucked and fun fact: dying is the least likely outcome. I woke up the next morning and immediately thought “And I’m still here.” I felt nothing. I didn’t feel grateful, I didn’t feel happy if anything I felt guilty for putting others through a night of terror and disappointed in myself for failing yet again. It took some time to really understand that this need to die is not because I want to die.

It’s because I want the pain to stop.

Imagine spinning – no…not a fidget spinner (sigh) but spinning in a circle like you did as a child.

As you spin –  one foot pushing yourself to pick up enough speed that your body begins to propel itself around. Here’s the important part: Keep your eyes open. As you twirl you get glimpses of objects but its all gone before you can even comprehend what you just saw. Now imagine those objects were feelings. You experience them for a second, then a different one and then another one. You cannot help but become overwhelmed. At this point you may be a little confused and now you want to stop spinning. So you bring your body to an abrupt halt. However while your body has stopped the physical motions, the feeling of spinning lingers. Now what if that feeling never leaves you. You walk around – feeling the cycles of emotions for what feels like seconds at a time. Its chaos. But you seem just fine – you try to explain to people but your analogies (like this one) don’t get interpreted quite you want them to. And then hopelessness kicks in – No one can get this. No one understand. And I’m still fucking spinning.

This is what BPD feels like to me. Throw in some PTSD flashbacks, a bit of shame and you’ve got me down to a science.

If we stay with this spinning analogy for just a bit longer– because I’m getting actually dizzy at this point.

How do you alleviate the dizziness?

Most often you make attempts to live with this, but accepting it doesn’t make it go away. You may try therapy – but talking about it doesn’t make it go away.You may drink to a point where you just don’t care about it. You may hurt yourself in hopes that you’ll bleed it out. You may overdose because none of the above worked

But the more to avoid it – the more powerful it becomes, it starts to take over at times when you need to look stable and steady.

Okay. No more spinning talk.

Now that you get the general idea – I want to point out that I’m currently undergoing therapy. It’s a mix of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Trauma therapy (because I’ve just gone through some shit.)

And my initial reaction to therapy was “This is absolute bullshit.” Because I was being taught how to cope and deal – which to me sounded like I had to just endure it and not freak out. But I soon realized in order to even address my many issues – I had to get to the point where I was capable of handling the emotions without engaging in problematic (fcked up) behavior. No more avoiding.

I learned simple tricks like soothing yourself out of distress, distracting yourself from painful emotions as well that sleeping normally, eating and exercising would actually help. Shocking. Oh yeah… and take your meds.

I’m not going to lie to you and tell you I’m a master of emotions - I’m sometimes so numb to the pain and other times engulfed in its flames. But when I’m able to step back and get into the this wonderful world “they” call wisemind -its manageable.

Do things that make you HAPPY. Buy a guitar and learn an awesome song. Go for a walk and lay under a tree. Paint something. Dance to a pop song. Do something. As many things as you can – and you’ll get to a point you’re happy more than you are sad – and that in itself is a win.

For those of you who can’t do anything right now – I get you. I was there yesterday – but luckily it doesn’t have to be permanent.

I’ve made a list below of things that may get you into a better headspace – try to do them and really get into it. It actually induces a change in emotions.

Keep going.

-          Watch a funny show/movie

-          Take a bath or shower (if you are extremely distressed – a cold one will do wonders)

-          Sing a (happy) song

-          Draw/Colour

-          Do a puzzle

-          Solve riddles

-          Eat something (preferably something delicious)

-          Drink some tea

-          Clean up (a clean place is a happy space)

-          Aromatherapy

-          Do a facemask

-          Eat some candy (sour stuff gets me everytime)

-          Read a book

-          Listen to some cool sounds (waves, rain etc)
