I wish there were more examples on this thread. I'm pretty sure this is where my therapy is headed. Now that I've more information on this concept of distress tolerance and what it means for me, I'm petrified of this, and my coping mechanisms of my own accord are not always good for the current living situation (loud music and hitting or punching things.)

but exactly, those quiet and "soft stuff" really doesn't work for me and folks pushing this on me, just makes it worse. ;(

edit: oops! there is a page 2!! i kinda thought there was more and maybe i even posted before. ok catching up
