Questions about DBT!

...See more My campus sucks and I need therapy!! I finally decided to get a new therapist, especially now that I go to school and my tuition covers mental health services on campus, but....I was just refused help by campus counseling services. (Can I just say how disgusting it is that campus health won't counsel me about PTSD that occurred from an assault that happened on this campus, and was covered up by this administration??? Seems immoral.) I just wanted PTSD counseling from them, but whatever, I need DBT and I think it's the skill that will help me the most, especially because of my BPD. Since money is tight and it's hard to find DBT therapists, I'm deciding to try teaching it to myself. It feels like a huge step forward in my journey to recovery, and I hope that it's as positive as I think that it is going to be. I just have a few questions. 1.) Have you ever tried DBT? 2.) Have you tried DBT without a counselor 3.) How did DBT affect your life? I'm super excited to take this step and to hear about yours as well.

I Lost Another Friend

...See more I'm beginning to struggle with the unstable relationship aspect of BPD. I've always struggled with this, but a few times I've been able to hold down friendships for years...but lately with school and my PTSD getting worse...it's a problem. I cut a friend out of my life last week. He and I were friends for over a year, we talked all the time, he was my favorite person. Unfortunately I think he abused his favorite person position. He began to do things that he knew caused me anxiety and distress and despite me talking to him about it over and over again for maybe six whole months...nothing got better. Everything got worse. I always feel so used in friendships. I feel like I put everything into it and I get little in return. I hate having to cut people out, but if I don't I will risk my mental health. I just feel so trapped and alone.
