Just thinking it might help to get involved in some DBT therapy. That really has made a huge difference for me because it's given me skills to work with when my emotions get disregulated, & when I'm really feeling distressed about stuff. It also helps to teach/reinforce mindfulness so that we can help make better decisions by looking at the big picture. Honestly it's the only therapy that wasn't a waste of my time & money over the last 20 years.

But I had problems not being able to take meds in the first place because of horrible side effects so life was pretty messed up until I got into this therapy....LOL....I came from California & moved to KY which I thought might be a rather backward state but I found I had better help here through the community mental health care than I ever did in the private care I had in Calif.....go figure.

However my Calif pdoc was into alternative meds which was good because he got me onto the EPA Omega 3 for depression & it worked like a miracle with no side effects as the other meds I tried had.....so I hold onto that when my depression gets higher which hasn't happened because my living conditions (away from a bad marriage) have so improved my outlook on life in the first place.
