CommentsDAE avoid dating because it’s too emotionally taxing?
I get into these quick obsessions when I meet someone new, like planning our wedding and thinking about them to an unhealthy extent. It used to impact my work because I would drop everything to reply to their text or go on a date.
Now I just avoid dating altogether. Don’t even get me started on rejection :/
The TIPP DBT skill has been the most effective in calming myself down during an episode.
The TIPP skill is meant to be used when under extreme distress. It’s helped me stop self-harming, destroying things, and even controlled my drinking. Here are my favorites from each category:
Tip: Cold shower
Intense exercise: Running
Paced breathing: Box breathing (4-4-4-4)
Progressive Muscle Relaxation: My favorite video
