Here's a cool 5-step #bpd technique for when your feelings are too loud

#Bpders, how do you find healthy ways to express emotion?

I've found that strong emotions often signal that I need to reflect on something.

We're constantly searching for excitement and novelty.

That's the best part. You don't have to be one thing. If you feel empty, do more of what you love.

And the void expands to make space for you.

For once, it accommodates you and doesn't suck you in.
