It doesn't happen often, but particularily when I get involved in new friendships/relationships, a lot of "stuff" I went through in my childhood and adolescence comes out and it can make me totally psychotic and delusional. All I can do is curl up in a ball with all the stuff going through my mind until it settles down by itself. It's a horrible feeling. And I agree with Open Eyes. DBT does help. It's a lot of work but it will help it you allow it to. The free amazon DBT class is at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/dbtclass/.
