I haven’t been on these forums in over a year, but I just felt compelled to post tonight. I have been in DBT therapy for about 3 months now. I just wanted to talk about the ups and downs and see if others diagnosed with BPD feel the same way I do.
I have recently been thinking about quitting because I feel like it’s not making a difference. I still get upset easily. I’m still having outbursts on family and friends. I’m still struggling with self image. I could go on.
However, my mom and my husband are seeing a difference. They said I seem less out of control and more able to calm down.
My question is: is it normal to want to quit and to be frustrated even when others tell you they see a difference? I just wish it would work faster. I’m tired of it being so difficult to regulate myself.
