Sorry to read you are having such a rough time Hbomb. That kind of therapy takes a long time to grasp but once you get it, it does make things somewhat easier but I find that when I'm in the throws of whatever, I forget to use the skills I've learned. I've been in a few CBT DBT groups and now I'm having to do it 1-1 with my therapist. I feel the worst time to try and learn these skills is when you're already depressed. Can't concentrate, the confusion, no motivation, all the distractions in your mind. and everything else that might contribute to your own depression
Try not to be hard on yourself, this is not your fault. Mental health professionals don't get timing. I would doubt you're going to get much out of it the way you're feeling. Sorry honey
