I'm happy for you for claiming your life back. I have never actually heard of EFT. Your the first person I've heard mention it though know I will definitely read up on it and see if it is useful.

What type of things to I do? Well the biggest coping technique that I've done since I was 12 was write in my journal/diary. Also I always was the type of person to be listening to music for like 85% of my day. I would stay up late listening to music and writing it is just part of my nightly ritual or just anytime something is bothering me. Taking a hot bath after a long day and reading a book in the bath tub is always. Getting a pedicure is a nice treat though I haven't done that in a while. When I feel down I always like to dress up extra nice to make myself feel better. Skirts make me feel pretty and I take my time to do my make up nice and I wear my heels and maybe go out some place to eat with a good friend that is always something that keeps my mood up. Another thing I do is when I'm not being lazy I tend to work out about 5-6 times a week for at least an hour. Eating a good breakfast helps to keep you balanced through out the day and taking multi vitamins. I have a nice path around my neighborhood it's 3 miles so sometimes when I feel up to it I will take a walk alone with my iPod or with my mom. Video games relieves stress for me too sometimes if that's your thing. Playing poker with my family is always fun and stress free. Going out to watch a movie with my brother. Going to church (though I have just started getting back into church). I talk to my mom if I need someone to talk to. She goes with me to therapy so that helps alot when I feel I am going through alot. Volunteering for a good cause obviously helps too because I like helping people and so now that I've started to volunteer it definitely makes me feel more fulfiled with my life and useful.

What are some good books to read? I'm not sure if your speaking strictly only about books about BPD or just books in general.
