Don't blow off self help. DBT and CBT skills, mindfulness, yoga, good diet, chingong, vitamins, self care, gratitude journals, all that hokey stuff works. We can change ourselves with small daily practices. Even of you could collapse into a luxury treatment facility, you would still have to change yourself b6 changing your habits.
Eventually we get from kill me or cure me to will this act make my life better or worse?

Teacake: I am not blowing off self help. I completely understand the importance of self help and I don't think it's hokey--don't make assumptions. I have been doing many of the things you've listed, but there are times I feel overwhelmed and frustrated with my progress. I'm going through a difficult, difficult time right now and this is all new to me.
Your tone sounds very condescending and punitive. I'm feeling overwhelmed and sharing that here. I don't need someone wagging a finger at me and lecturing me about the merits of self care and self help. I assure you, I've done my homework. This is supposed to be a supportive forum. Don't lecture me.
