People with personality disorder – and those who support and care about them – often feel overwhelmed or in crisis. While a crisis feels overwhelming, it also offers an opportunity to respond differently – in fact, how we respond to crises can be incredibly important in a person’s recovery.
If you are in crisis yourself now, you may wish to try some of the following:
- self-help tools from Lifeline – this is a collection of strategies that some people have found helpful when they have been in crisis; these include
- grounding techniques,
- taking a walk,
- watching a video or listening to music,
- talking to someone about something other than what is going on with you to distract you from the thoughts,
- slow down your breathing.
