Okay so I'm gonna check in and then say what I think about all this.

Feeling pretty good. Was in therapy earlier, and my therapist commended me that I basically validated my own self without even noticing, saying that I already do it subconciously, and those are the fruits of DBT. Took a while but I got there. Getting better, slowly but surely.

Now, about all this that's happening, I think it might be better to create a General thread, not just for checking in. One general thread because for one, this is a check-in thread and we're supposed to say what we feel at the moment; derailing it with tons of posts about how we feel for each other might not be the place. So a general BPD thread might be better for that. I think we're all basically in the same spot. Dunno about you, but getting "hugs" isn't very validating, personally. It's as if you get a "like" on facebook, instead of actual feedback.

So to sum up, make a general.
