I beat myself up when I feel moody around friends, thinking of myself as "crazy." I know that I need to go easier on myself and give myself credit because I've been through a lot and have come out the other side in pretty good shape. And I'm only human. But I'm not very good at that. |
Do you have access to a therapist or counselor? I used to have similar feelings (and still do, but to a manageable extent). CBT/DBT really helped. If you don't have access to professional help, you could try one of the many good workbooks out there, either based on your diagnosis or based on what you think your diagnosis might be. General CBT/DBT books might be helpful even if you don't have a DX. Your local library might have them or you can check on Amazon.
If there's anything else you'd like to talk about, or just rant, I'm here for you.
