I am getting better in relationships, though. I don't always automatically want to cut people off when they piss me off anymore. Just most of the time. And I am now able to ride it out until the anger subsides and see it for what it really is. It takes time. It takes practice. I found DBT very helpful for depersonalizing things and focusing on my own self.

I have worked with DBT as well as the meditation and mindfulness. It has helped in other ways, the anxiety and over-obsessing in particular, but I have a very, very long way to go when it comes to relationships and it is definitely my weakest point. Thank you.
