[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 430908, member: 1514"] Steely, you know, something about this whole thing with the whole anxiety and ptsd and anger and not being able to label emotions etc screams borderline to me. Just call it a gut feeling to me because it is me. In the beginning, I only knew or could describe two emotions...or maybe three. It took probably at least a year to get me to let down my walls halfway. 5 and a half years in and I am doing much better. It will be a long time though before I want to give up therapy I think. I knew anger/rage and apathy. I could fake happiness but I really didnt know what everyone else meant by it. I would laugh when others did and I would smile when they did but I really didnt get it. I was just there...a blob. I did know that anger came from different things...like fear or hurt or jealousy or manipulation or a host of other emotions. I have also lived through abuse and all that other lovely stuff. One thing that I did to drive me to stay in therapy at first was I had read that borderline people have a reputation for not being compliant with therapy so I was going to disprove that point...lol. Hey...showed them! ODD to the max! [/QUOTE]
