Mindfulness Meditation and DBT - two of the main ways currently used to combat Borderline Personality Disorder, are based on Buddist beliefs and meditation techniques. Most of BPD's problems stem from overanalyzing things, constant worrying or stressing about the past or the future, and extreme, vivid flashbacks. DBT and Buddist beliefs state that we should focus on the moment without regard to those things. That, in the end, those things don't matter. The only thing that matters is the present...what is happening right now. I am new at DBT and meditation, but it DOES work. Why worry about things you can't do a darn thing about or want things you can't get? I think that as long as our basic needs are provided for; we have enough food, shelter, and clothing to do the job, this way is the best and provides much more "peace of mind".
