Recently diagnosed with BPD

Hi Everyone….. I recently got diagnosed with BPD . I am really scared and I really don’t know how to proceed further. I also procrastinate a lot . I usually get overwhelmed with a lot of emotions and hence just want to distract myself instead of focusing on college.

Hi there--that makes a lot of sense that procrastination would be an issue when there are all of these emotions and it feels like you have to manage that before you're able to concentrate on schoolwork.

Possibly some of these threads on DBT skills might have some useful ideas, especially the ones on distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
