I agree, good for you on joining the Y. Exercise is great for so many things. Don't get discouraged or set unrealistic goals. Just go at your own pace and enjoy yourself! My car died and I can't make it to therapy. I understand where you're coming from because I really miss my therapist. Here is a list of DBT books. I think a lot can be done without paying for a class. There are websites online as well. I'm teaching myself neuroplasticity which is overcoming chronic pain and MI by redirecting my thought patterns. I've never really tried meditation but I'll try anything especially if it's free and a tool I can carry and control.
