I know that's not the case, but I worry about everything so of course it's come up lol
I'd get a therapist again but I'm flat broke and will be for awhile (my mom paid for everything the first time, but I don't want to do that again). Oddly enough, there was a comment thread on Facebook where someone mentioned a DBT book that she said had helped her immensely. I haven't thought about for awhile, but I think I'll check online and order it.

Good for you to take initiate. I found a DBT workbook online. Also, there is a forum here of people who have successfully used DBT. I went on there and asked questions and everyone is very generous in responding. Since DBT stresses mindfulness practices maybe you could find a meditation group in your area or a Shambhala Center as they provide free meditation instruction. Centers also have lectures and if you cannot pay the lecture fee they will often let you help out in order to defray the cost by volunteering to set up chairs, serve refreshments afterwards etc. That's how I was able to attend a lot of lectures on meditation. Good Luck. Oh, also, on YouTube there are videos of talks by Marsha Linehan.
