Today's thread is about managing overwhelming emotions. This is obviously in addition to any medications your doctor has prescribed. Meds do not remove your ability to REACT to things (if they do, talk to your doctor, b/c that could kill you). This is about managing REACTIONS.

I'm going to address everyone reading this thread as I would address someone with BPD. Why? Because BPD is a disease that makes a person, under normal circumstances, have approximately the same emotional experience many NT people are having now.

As in, you think you're fine, then you open up Twitter or have one (1) conversation with another human, and one thing is said or tweeted that knocks you flat on your ass with despair or sends you into a panic spiral.
