My appointment with my T was cancelled and the STEPPS class was not quite as promised. I was upset to the point I started laughing with nerves a couple times. The class packet spent a lot of time talking about BPD, which they like to call Emotional Intensity Disorder (EID) That is what the teachers of the class will call it from now on. They called it an inability to regulate emotions. They used an analogy of a floodgate that is either tightly closed holding back a raging river or wide open letting the river flow and destroy everything in it's path. The class is supposed to teach tools to identify and manage the intensity of emotions(The Raging River). They say to give it three sessions before making any decisions about dropping out.
