Anyway, she is going to find me a psychologist I don't think they specialize in BPD but it's a start at least. They have what's called a sliding scale so it's only going to cost me $20/session. I have lost my trust in psychologists so I'm not going to be going in there expecting this person to be just as nice. I actually feel like it will go just the opposite but the fact that I had to work so hard just to find help will make me go and give it an honest try.

I am happy for you that you had not exhausted all your resources. I have exhausted mine though.
It really is important when somene LISTENS!
I have called everyone that I have been referred to. They all have not been able or willing to deal with me. The only DBT clinic in my area/city that covers poor people does not serve ppl in my zip code!
I am glad that not every mental health person is rude or dispassionate. I am happy to hear about a positive experience.
I pray I can still find it again someday. If someone ever does offer me therapy, I will consider it. I am just tired of going to dry wells and banging my head against impenetrable walls and screaming at deaf ears.
