Now I've been diagnosed with Borderline and Avoidant Personality Disorders. To go along with treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder, GAD, Social Phobia, an Eating Disorder and an extremely introverted personality.
I just want to cry. I want it all to go away. My anxiety level is sky-high. My Mental Health Team is super helpful. They have explained my new diagnosis with me and told me about the Dialectical Behavioural Therapy group that they have. I have enough symtoms to qualify for entry and have been accepted into the group. I am so upset. More change. Different therapists. Group therapy work with about six other women. Why can't I just get better? It's 16 months of very intensive work. I have to, have to, have to do this. It is my only hope/chance of having something close to a "normal" life.
What has been your experience with DBT?
