i can tell you one thing for sure: radical acceptance is the key to everything. i had to learn it the hard way but it really is. you might not know what it is, so let me explain it real quick - radical acceptance is a skill used in bpd treatment. it means that suffering doesn't come directly from pain, but from one's attachment to the pain. psychologists say that acceptance is the first step towards change. you use radical acceptance when you realize that you can't change certain things or are unable to fix them. with radical acceptance you simply accept things that have happend and aren't fighting against reality.
radical acceptance is the only skill that's working for me so far because with that skill i can somehow overcome my suffering. letting your emotions run wild will only add more pain. i came to the point of accepting this and it is really helping me - especially right now. i might be at my worst point ever but why should i blame myself for it? i can't change everything that's happening and so it's for the better if i just keep on living and accept that it's not going well right now. i got admitted into the mental hospital again and that's totally alright because it's reality. 'everything happens for a reason' is a good quote that seems to be fitting pretty well to radical acceptance.
