Um, that would be me! Although my T would disagree with that as he says some of the situations I describe would be classed as abuse but I don't see my parents like that. Sure my mum had her own problems and would sometime ignore us and my dad had a problem with drink and could be unreliable but I don't class it as abuse. Not compared to what others go through and I've read enough just on this board to know that anything I went through is nothing compared to what others endure.

I like the name emotional regulation disorder as that fits how I feel at times. I just can't control my emotions and can so easily over react to a given situation.

While it is being seen as a treatable condition sometimes I wonder if I'm ever going to get better - 4 years in therapy and so little progress (sorry just having a very negative day)
