This is more of a problem for borderlines, but since we have some borderline bipolars over here, including me, i thought i'd post it here too. I'm particularly interested in how it applies to weight as i am a 'feast or famine' thinker on this subject.

I DONT overcome it lol. I should be in DBT to help me with this but that's a long story. But for me it's either all or nothing. From drinking to arguments. I'm never just a little mad... I go from 0-100. It sure hurts my relationships quite a bit.

I don't always recognize it; that's where my therapist is very helpful. Once I can recognize it, I sort of mentally highlight the contrast between the two until I can see how ludicrous it is that I don't allow anything in between.

I watch my thoughts for words like always, never, all the time, etc. That usually points me to a thought that is all or nothing. Then I challenge it: is it really all the time, never, etc. It takes some work but it can be done.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
