Out of control social media posts

Hi,

I'm newly diagnosed borderline personality and one thing that has really affected me is posting out of control TMI emotional posts on social media (instagram, facebook) about how lonely I am and have been single too long. I want to stop these posts but as my doctor mentioned they serve a purpose - it's my messed up way of reaching out because I don't know how to do that. Anyone have practical tips on how I can control my impulse and emotions long enough to stop posting? The psychiatrist has put me into dialectical behavioural therapy but recommended no meds for borderline.

Thanks

i used to do that a lot, i phone a helpline to vent those kinds of feelings out. i don't have to give my name, i talk to a different person each time so no-one knows me or can keep track of me, i can vent without feeling guilty about being a burden (i find it hard to talk to friends about this kind of thing), and it gets those feelings out, at least for a little while.

i don't know if that would help or not, but it's what i use to try and cope with things. good luck with your DBT!
