How to transform hurt from anger into resilience
Dee Chan shares how her journey with Borderline Personality Disorder and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy taught her to regulate her emotions.
My first manic episode
“I checked my phone for more likes on my photos. I put my phone back down, face up this time, with the brightness turned all the way just in case I get another notification. Then, out of nowhere I started shaking. It first started in my hands, then my arms, then lastly, my chest. My heart was pumping more than normal but it wasn’t like I couldn’t breathe. It was all just enough to know that something wasn’t right.”
