What is DBT? A type of therapy? Is it for only certain disorders? I'll have to look that up.

I like reading professional therapy books because it makes me feel more in control. I like to be in control. Doesn't weird me out at all but I think it does most people. I have a clinical way of detaching when it comes to academia (hyperfocus on certain subjects due to the ADHD).

Feelings can't maintain super intensity for very long. We humans aren't built with the energy to maintain mega-intense/overwhelming feelings for lengthy periods of time, THANK GOD! That would not be good to be walking around at a 10 on the anxiety or anger scale all of the time. Just know it will pass, especially if you try maybe getting your mind off of therapy or something. Can you go out with a friend to dinner or something? Even if you have to go shopping alone to get away from yourself and distract yourself for awhile, that's a good things. I use that method a lot when I'm too focused on negative things, and it works.
