I was never considered a canadate for DBT but what I've read about it makes me wonder if it would have helped?

SAME HERE! One doctor finally made the connection and kept me hospitalized until a full med change occurred. I still ended up self harming as a compulsion for awhile, but eventually after finding the right meds the urges completely stopped. I can barely even relate to the urge now. I think it's really dangerous to diagnose someone in one hour (or much less in my case).
