I have a big issue with the "behaving as I would have in the past" as I would have in the past. I can reflect on my experience on the ADDforums threads earlier today. Fortunately I am happy to see that the thread which was a person indicating self mutialtion and other losses of sense of self etc. and was curious as to what diagnosis may apply asking advice from members etc. And I went into this stage of I guess Oppositional Defiant Disorder behavior when a couple of the more "pleasant" of the ADDer's in here tried acting all indignant over the fact that I was asking questions in regards to the type of cutting he was engaging in (cutting tends to occur for a variety of reasons it was an addictive anger release for me) and these three members were doing the same thing I was doing and acting like a bunch of "Borderline's" not to be libelous in my labels but it seemed really side taking and childish and the Thread was cancelled or erased somehow. I just notice that I tend to get regressive at times that other people do in their dynamics. The member was also 16 who was the cutter and the three that ganged up on me were all in their 50's and women. Well I just know that I was trying to relate and offer help. Obviously if a cutter is depressed or manic or psychotic with a knife to their jugular I'd offer different advise than to someone who scratches their arm for attention. I cannot even wear a short sleeve shirt from scars from when I was 14. But those members made me angry enough to snap... I cant help the regressive crap and i notice it more now that I will take meds for adhd... I need tips on self help tricks that help this issue???

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is supposed to work for trauma stuff like borderline.

I think it can help for other 'disorders' where people are in pain, too. (eg anxiety; depression; abuse issues)

Try to find a hospital near you that offers the DBT group therapy.
