I'm back !
Hi everyone ! I am so please to be back after a year or so I think.. Its really been a rough time and as a listener you need to have your cup full so you can support others so when I went away a lot was going on.
After a couple of months I spent a month in a crazy loon 😆 I was there for a suicide recovery and they place me in a ward for dbt. I have to be honest and say it was the best time of my life. I learnt so much and I learnt to cope with my bpd.
To live with it and take each day as it comes !
Dbt saved my life.
The reason why I'm sharing this is I know that people are afraid to get help and reach out, but I really want to encourage you guys to never be scared or ashamed but to go for it.
It could save your life !
I remember one of the key things that was apply to dbt was sense of humor. We often were told to make silly jokes because that was the best key to our recovery.
In your own life do you use sense of humor to cops with things ? Had it been a good thing in your life ?
Have a bless day !
Hi Cathlisa!
So glad to hear you are "one the mend"
YES! Even if we are healers, we still need our own healing. So glad you found support and can bring your sunshine back to the forum!
One of the most difficult things I think we face is sometimes, we take 5 steps forward (Amazing!) and then take 6 steps back (Hey! WHAT!!!) and then take 9 more forward (Cool! On the right track)
Our healing is not necessarily linear...it can go up down diagnal and 3-D.
Support is key. And yes, DBT is awesome, not just for those of us with a mental health diagnosis, but for Everyone!
if they taught DBT in grade school the world would be a better place! (I can't prove that...but I'm pretty sure!)
Keep your humor, glad you are back, and Humor is a daily essential for me...like toothpaste! lol!
((hugs))
