@nick324
i think this is a great resource, as you told me you try dbt as a coping skill! good luck!
What a great list. Thank you for sharing!
@QuietMagic wow this is awesome!!
@QuietMagic it's funny how much useless information there is on such a painful thing. How poorly it's been researched. People with it basically are told ' I unno sorry for the insane psychological torture you're experiencing nothing I can do, no cure, you'll be on medication forever, btw it's super stigmatized and you'll probably never enjoy a healthy relationship and fight for your most basic needs the rest of your life'. I know I'm not the only one experiencing this either. Like, I get humanity is wonderful blah blah...yet don't you think stuff like this is super ridiculous and upsetting? Or am I missing something? Do I need to just travel more or eat less bread? I want to know.
I found DBT to be very effective. It is more like taking a college course than regular group therapy.
You are supposed to learn coping skills (tools) to put in your toolbox. The goal is to be able to reach into your toolbox blindfolded and pick out the right tool for any situation.
Once I told my therapist a problem I had.
She said "That was a good use of your DBT tools"
I said "I used DBT? I was just trying to not freak out."
That said, I had to take the DBT class 3 times before it became second nature.
