Some people report that one hour of Yoga is often the best hour of the week, because Yoga helps alleviate some of the effects of borderline personality disorder (BPD), such as emotional instability, episodic dysphoria, irritability, anxiety, feelings of emptiness, stress-related paranoid thoughts, and dissociative symptoms.
