I've been doing a little bit better recently - excluding today which is kinda 'I forgot to take medication yesterday' induced energy.

I started DBT. And DBT is really really having a big change to my life when I'm having to actively think about my social interactions in more depth.

I am sometimes unkind in real life. And forcing myself to be gentle/interested/validating/empathetic is really frustrating to do, and feels like I'm showing weakness sometimes, but it has really positive results.

It's like if someone formalised the rules to healthy social interaction..
