Flip The Switch

Geography can do wonders for your mood and well-being but it’s becoming clear to me that wherever you are stationed does eventually become a source of stress, even if it once was an escape.

I went from high on life to screw everything, let’s self destruct, even if majority of it only happens in my head.

Clearly I don’t do alone. Probably especially more when someone angered me earlier today and I’ve had to sit and stew in it all morning, afternoon and evening.

I’m noticing that I am becoming a stress eater. I go for the crap food and snacks. I noticed this behaviour tonight though and I put the candy away and replaced it with some Palm Bay coolers. Cause you know, drinking and dancing alone is what all the cool people are doing.

It’s not helping, I knew it wouldn’t but it’s keep me occupied until I decide it’s time for bed.

I do have plans for tomorrow so that will be nice

Borderline Personality Workbook: Session 3 Part 10- Activities Part 2

The symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder usually fall under the following headings.

(Please note that you may not have all of the symptoms):

 MOOD SWINGS

Please say YES or NO

I often feel anxious NO

I often feel low in my mood NO

I go through cycles of anger and then calm YES

1.      Have you experienced any other feelings that have affected your mood?

I don’t really understand the question. Um….when I feel that I’m not being treated fairly, when I get scared or when something happens differently than I had planned or thought would happen it affects my mood, so being let down

2.      If someone gave you a gift right now list all the emotions you think you would feel?

Flattered, happy, guilty because I can’t afford to get them a present, exicted, possibly still angry because I am currently but it wouldn’t interfere with my happiness towards that person for giving me a gift.

3.      List all the interpretation or understanding that you might have as to why this person gave you the gift?

This person must like me as a friend/partner/person, it was great that they thought of me.

4.      Describe how your mood might be after experiencing these emotions?

It would most likely greatly affect my mood. I’m tense all the time anyways but if I was extra tense it would most likely have alleviated that.
