Thats great advice!
I've been finding my symptoms have been escalating a bit recently too... Stress... But knowing that doesn't seem to be helping me particularly...
Thinking about the whys and stuff... Really helps me a lot too. So I can catch myself. And the meditation too. I do breathing exercises. Quite often I find myself feeling intense sadness and rage and stuff and I can just feel it coming and going in waves... And it helps me feel a lot calmer so I'm better able to figure out what is going on and stop myself from acting out.
But that being said... It can be hard sometimes, yeah.
I think one thing that is really important is to reflect on how far you have come and not beat yourself up. Sounds like you are doing that already... I guess I just mean to take extra special care of yourself since you are fragile. Remember to do nice nurturing caring things for youself.
Hang in there...
My 'episodes' have gotten further apart...
And when they occur they are less intense...
But they are still there sometimes. When one occurs... I have trouble not seeing it as a step back. But over time... I've improved so much. I try to focus on that.
