Long time PC member here but first post in BPD forum. Honestly I never came here before because I try to forget that I have BPD. I'm also bipolar, PTSD, anxiety, with a history of substance abuse. Well I'm starting to realize that my BPD is causing a lot of issues in my life as far as acting out before i think. I cause trouble everytime I make a text or answer my phone. My bad impulse control is mainly fueled by anger. And then when i calm down hours later and see the things I've said or done, I'm humiliated. I have a lot of self hatred and obsessive thoughts. Sometimes i lay awake for hours thinking about what i screwed up that day. All the things I can't fix.
So my question is,.. how do I make myself slow down and think before I act? I can't live with this much self loathing and isolation anymore. Please any suggestions are appreciated!!
