Yeah.

I think maybe you just gave up too soon ;-)
It can take a bit of time for people to notice a change in pattern... Or they think we will only do it for a little bit and then revert...

DBT would really help you Deneb. It wouldn't change you but you could learn skills that you could choose to implement if you so desired. Skills so that you can understand what kinds of things you can do so you can elicit more meaningful connections with others. Skills so that you can manage your distress better if you would like to do that.

Therapy doesn't change you. It is just supposed to help teach you stuff so that you have more options instead of just playing out past cycles without understanding what went wrong.

DBT has a supportive therapy component to it as well. It can be great to talk to t's 'cause they can help us feel cared about :-) Like how sometimes you have great discussions with your p-doc.

Yeah... I wonder if this seems scarey now 'cause you don't have much else to keep you occupied...
