This morning I cried a lot. That was actually good. Not a raging, isolated, terrified cry, but a (is this true? yes.) loving, healing, accepting and surrendering cry

That's amazing.

Really. That's great! We all need a good, healthy cry once in a while (as opposed to our usual raging, depressive cries).

I myself practice Buddism (not as thorougly as I should), and I find that it helps when you really put your mind to it. Meditation is so hard, though. It takes a LOT of practice...I still haven't fully gotten it down yet.

I have BPD and I used to attend group therapy for others with BPD or who needed emotion regulation. It was a DBT (Dialectic Behavioral Therapy) based group, and we often meditated. I found it to be very helpful.

Enough about me. I'm really glad to hear that you're finding your positive center today <3

thanks for your note. I've heard that journaling is the next-closest-thing to a life of meditation for bringing a lasting state of peacefulness, so I am trying to catch myself in the many different places of being, emotionally speaking, because it is much more rewarding to revisit a journal when it reflects all of life instead of just when I am ranting.

Trying to get myself up to 1 solid hour of meditation a day, but its tough when I am losing my mind:)
