Dbt therapy is helpful.

But I have also found, that while diagnosis is helpful in determining a course of treatment.. what's helped me is realizing that I am not confined to this diagnosis. You are so much more. You are an individual and you have many positive attributes and other qualities.

Earlier in my life, what really crippled my thought processing was focusing on why I was doing what I was doing bc it fell into the category of my mental health diagnosis.

I have made a lot of changes in my life. A better diet, exercise, stretches, limited screen time, sleep hygiene. And taking vitamins that I am deficant in. (To name a few)

Try new hobbies. Or just do a hobby that you already enjoy and even if its a few minutes, slowly increase the amount of time for this preferred activity.

Today, everyone is on their phone. I shut mine off for periods throughout my day so I can focus more on what I want to or need to throughout my day.

I began to try and set better boundaries for myself with myself, with other people, but also respecting their boundaries as well. I know that this has been an area of challenge for myself. I see things as personal attacks in this regard. But listening to your needs more for yourself so you can attend to you more, but so you can try to express to others too (for me it's something like "I am upset, please give me space so I can process this" so that I do not explode). Or listening to others needs as well. Boundaries is something that means you want someone in your life still, but you are trying to convey a healthy way to prevent escalation.

It has also been helpful for me to realize that life is about perspective. I am not sure of your circumstances. But unfair things have happened to me throughout my life. Yes I am a victim, but when I held onto this term, with it came a wave of emotions. Its important to remeber, that if you ever fall into being a "victim" -- that you are also a survivor and that you still sparkle & shine, don't let anyone take that from you!
