What you describe is what I want! I want that so much.

I'm glad you love DBT as much as you do. It gives me hope.

The following story is based off of true events (): It's like going to a hairstylist and asking them what would work best for you. You have had long blonde hair your whole life. She suggests cutting your above shoulder length to frame your face and make your neck look longer, and red hair with a hint of brunette to bring out the color of your blue eyes w/o brightening the red tones in your skin complexion. But this look is so drastic from your norm. Yet at the same time, the norm isn't working anymore. So you take the plunge and hope for the best. That's where I'm at. My hope: that DBT therapy turns out to be as good for my mental health as my hair is for my appearance.

The difference is that my hair length and color won't break my heart, whereas a new person in my life can...and it's been my experience that most do.

Why can't all relationships, even non-therapeutic, have a good termination process?
