Ok I have been doing a 6 week program on Distress tolerance so that I can get into the intensive 15 week DBT in the fall. I have to admit that over the last few weeks, I am thinking some of these people are going to be in the same program and they will drive me ****en nuts.

Some people have been through programs in the past and yet here they are again. This is my first go around and I am be no means perfect BUT you know damn well there is homework, yet I was the only one that actually did it!!!

Why do these people even bother to come when they aren't even trying to help themselves?

Yes I am ranting because I am tired of listening to people whining yet do nothing to help themselves.

No am not in a great place myself, but I am atleast giving it effort since I do want my life to change for the better.

I worry that once I am through the program that over time as everything in my life so far, I will slack and everything I learned will fall by the wayside and I will be back to square one. I just discussed this with my older brother last night.

At least I am giving it the ol college try when I am attending the different programs, since it is to benefit ME. Why these other people bother showing up, and well we started with 12 we are down to 5 or 6 people now. Never the same ones either, you are telling me that once a week for 6 weeks you can't make time for the group that is a whole hour and a half?

I'm done ranting, needed to get it out of my system. I am frustrated and I just find the whole thing a total distraction.
