I hooked up my creativity and empathy circuit after reading a chapter on mindfulness for bpd.
I was already on 100mg sertraline and .5mg risperidone I had to double my risperidone for two days once doing this.
Do not do this if you are in a stressful phase! !
Requirements:
moderate mindfulness experience 3 to 6 months
An anti psychotic such as seroquel or risperidone.
Lay down comfortably and close your eyes.
Do ten minutes of breath focus meditation
THEN CROSS YOUR NON DOMINANT FOOT OVER YOUR DOMINANT FOOT AT THE CALF AND SHIN
Lay down and do positional meditation (feeling your body against the floor or couch) and feeling your lower legs where they press together. You must remain relaxed.
Have your quicklet ready beforehand.
Do body scanning meditation.
If it works you will feel your brain rewire and go in to an anxiety attack when you open your eyes. TAKE THE ANTI PSYCHOTIC.

I did a one hour meditation session doing all 6 main types.
This is weird as ###$.
I'm 30 and for the first time in my life I am an empath.
I went down the street and instead of being dissociated, withdrawn and psychologically projecting self hate and
Analyzation on to others. I felt what they seemed to feel.
Is that empathy or am I even more insane?

I'm not emotionally stable yet but I have moments now where feel what empaths must feel. It's a new emotion and I think it's what humans must feel instead of emptiness. I get it around people or my dog.
Mindfulness brang me peace but mindfulness for bpd hooked up empathy.
I think this condition is completely curable with:
Diet (nourish brain)
Exercise (stabilize mood)
Cbt (strengthen will power, self awareness)
Act (stay on track)
Dbt (empathy)

Bpd = emotionally dissociated so in tune with others instead of yourself.
Once you stop dissociating you need a self help book and therapy to build character and find life goals or more ideally work on your parents.

Being petty, but I have to disagree with this.

People are generally overly focused on others. Focus on yourself and deal with things, after that interacting with others is easy.

Ummmm. This is hard to analyze for me (not enough dbt yet)
My emotions are not as blunt and unresponsive from people and music.
But they aren't mirroring, they are like normal responses.
I feel confident i can have a normal human romantic relationship so i no longer project my self hate on to people.
Empathy is a whole range of emotions in itself.
I feel slightly more fear (rationally)but less anxiety. <-- may not be true.
The fullness hasn't come back since last time. I think I need to relax more.
NORMAL PEOPLE HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SOCIAL ANXIETY. Unbelievable.
I can't really answer your question but I tried.
I still split and need control but i hope goes away.
