Perhaps the DBT would give you some relief,whatever your diagnosis...
Good luck to you..

Many thanks. What little I know of DBT sounds really good, and I'd really like to try it if they will let me. I'm in one of those ludicrous situations where you can only be accepted onto the treatment regime if you've been diagnosed BPD - but the psychiatrist is not able to diagnose personality disorders, and there is a long waiting list to see a clinical psychologist who I'm reliably informed only deals with 'simple' cases and won't be able to diagnose anything beyond that.
I'm really pleased you have benefitted from DBT - it seems like such a practical approach. And what little I know of it I agree wholeheartedly with you - it seems like something everybody should do.
Very many thanks
