Okay - so let's apply this. Life sucks, I have no friends, I hate my existence. I hate being at work, I get no relief at home. My head always feels "damaged". There LITERALLY are no available psychologists in my area (the two major hospitals have had large turnover and the remaining doctors are not accepting new patients). My meds are not helping. And I can not see a doctor (none around) to try a new med.
Radical acceptance? Sure. It will never get better.
SCREW IT
How is that for radical acceptance?

UM, I totally know how you feel. But as a previous poster mentioned (a) stick with DBT -- it will help whether you believe the new "thoughts." You don't have to believe it, you just got to keep doing it. (b) there are psychologists who do skype sessions (not pdocs unfortunately) and reach out to people on here if they know of a good way of searching for one.
Keep posting on here
