Thanks. I did some DBT in individual therapy and I was in a group before residential (got kicked out for missing too many consecutive sessions though, currently on the waitlist to get back in).

I got diagnosed with BPD years back in a hospital setting, but I had no follow up treatment and I didn't mention it when I did in-take at this community mental health center (or the last region I lived in for that matter) because I wanted a "clean slate," (i.e. not a highly stigmatized diagnosis on my current records) but since they already added it....

btw we don't have any psychologists at the mental health center, but my therapist is pretty good and my psychiatrist agrees with her.
