I felt like a guinea pig until I refused to take any more meds to have bad reactions to.

When I left my bad marriage & moved 2100 miles away I started new therapy....the combination of leaving the trigger for my mental illness & an outstanding psychologist, she is very impressed in the improvement I've made & how far I've come in the last 5 years of the 9 years I've been free from the bad marriage. She wishes my psychologist that retired 2 years ago could see the change. The psychologist I was going to was the one who suggested the DBT group that was really the key to the change. My DBT group leader is now my psychologist I see monthly now. If I was a project it turned out successful because they cared. But I also live with totally supportive people around me who care more than anything I ever experienced before in the 54 years of my life before I left my past.
