I can't untangle myself. I'm in DBT for BPD. We work on learning (or trying to learn) new skills to help us live better and wiser with BPD. But, as is most often the case, I have other problems that counter-act with what we are learning to do. For example, we try to be calmly assertive instead of either disappearing or screaming. But, I also have Social Phobia and GAD and I'm an extreme introvert. It's not so much that I don't know "how" to be around people, it's that I really don't want to be and don't need to be. I can't tell when a new skill is healthy for me given my other problems and desires or is something I don't need to learn. We are very messy, aren't we. Lots of to all and thanks for reading. I hope you are feeling okay today.
