I donīt think anyone in here knows enough about a person just by reading posts to even recommend certain treatments. You can of course talk about different kinds of therapy in a general manner but when using examples from what I wrote you also diagnose in a way. You speculate and interpret behaviours you havenīt seen for yourself.

Neither do you know how a diagnosis would look like in my country to attend for example a DBT group, perhaps itīs partially different from where you live, you donīt know.

As Iīve seen both a T and a physician and none of them ever mentioned DBT, I canīt see the validity in such recommendations from people in here who never met me.

People are trying to offer helpful support, but you are fighting that support all the way, even from peers. Okay. Your right to do so, but perhaps this is a pattern with people.
