I was diagnosed six years ago. I have worked steadily since then on recovery. It has by no means been easy. Multiple hospitalizations, I went to a residential trauma treatment center. I have been in therapy continuously. I go to CODA and ACA meetings and NAMI meetings. My family doesn't understand or believe my diagnosis. So I have had to build my own support group of strangers, basically.

I found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to be helpful. I had a T who was trying to talk me into EMDR, but I just couldn't get into that.

Find a T you trust and stick with them and work it out. I think the residential trauma treatment center, although expensive, was one of the best things I did to help myself. I also did a Partial Hospitalization Program, which is when you spend 5 days a week at the hospital but sleep at home.

I think there are a lot of resources out there you just have to be willing to seek them out.
