This is my diagnosis along with depression. I really see myself reflected throughout. I was very fortunate that the hospital where I was an inpatient has a fantastic outpatient program. In addition to individual therapy I also participated in a DBT Group. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was created by Dr. Marsha Linehan. It combines behavioral science, Buddhism, acceptance and MINDFULNESS...LoL

It is my hope to eventually get into another DBT Group. It still helps me to this day. It taught me when I have thoughts of harming myself that it's the pain and not my life that I want to end. I learned to sit with and still the pain. It is what I learned through that program that is helping me through this rough patch in my life right now.
