Dont worry about bouncing back n forth between being able to regulate your emotions n not. First- its like any other habit. It doesnt change overnight - n it takes a lot of work. But thus "habit" takes even more work bc you just know it as a part of who you are - it's not like picking up a cig one day n getting addicted. With smoking - you can remember the days you did not smoke n what that was like. Changing your thinking - generally speaking ...you cannot remember a different way bc there never WAS a different way. So you are literally retraining your brain - not just breaking a habit. *hugs* Also though, as I mentioned before when you start to become unstable or are unstable - there is a high likelihood you will revert to not being able to regulate your emotions.

Be good to yourself. Dont put "deadlines" or "expectations" of when or how fast you "should" heal. Just celebrate each small accomplishment you make. That should also help. ❤
