You note that you are not skilled at assertiveness. This might be something that DBT could help you develop so you can feel free to voice your opinions, your expectations, your disappointments while understanding that they are just that and not demands. It feels good to feel capable of being assertive. I am not often, but when I am it feels good.

Like I said, I dont' qualify for the DBT clinic, for some reason that they wouldn't say. I am stuck without professional DBT.

However, as I have said numerous times here, I have logged onto a self-help site for DBT and also have joined an online DBT support group run by peers.

I am trying, I am.

Also, I did go back to the medical doctor. They can't help me with psychiatric, but I do have medical care now.

I have an apptment on the 10 with a psychiatrist at another clinic. I hope that goes well.

If that doesnt' work out, I will shop around for someone, even if I have to pay for it.
