Very good questions. First off, I agree that you might need to find another therapist. Sometimes our therapists aren't a good fit us and their style may not mesh well with what we need. As for your questions:

What are your triggers?: Feeling alone and (as pathetic as this may sound) seeing so many people in relationships. I have a fear of growing old and alone and, with my many identities, it's hard to meet people who can relate to me somewhat. I sometimes feel like an alien. =/ I have a terrific mother, great friends...but that companionship would be nice, you know?

What non-med solutions have you found?: If you mean holistic rememdies, then unfortunately, I haven't found any. =/ But mainly talking to people helps.

Did CBT work for you? Overall, it's working out for me.When my thoughts change for the better, I find myself feeling more confident and doing things that I would not have done before. However, I was interested in trying DBT, since my emotions can get a bit overwhelming.

What is the worst thing about it for you?: Worst thing about CBT? As I said, it doesn't take emotions into consideration, and our emotions heavily affect how we interact with the world and see ourselves. If you meant worst thing about my depression, then just that feeling of isolation and emptiness. Feeling like things won't change. Feeling stuck. But that isolation is like poison that slowly eats away at you.

Any tips?: You're already doing my main tip, which is letting out your emotions and talking to people. Also looking into a new therapist, since a therapist that's a good fit for you can REALLY make a difference. Try to be patient with yourself. You're doing the best you can, and that's really good.
