I put it away for now. I'll be needing to do this workbook in small chunks or maybe with a therapist.

It reminded me and made me realize how messed up I am. I guess I'm faking it a lot more than I admit to. I'm not trying to be "fake"...I'm a genuine person as to others. As to myself? Not so much. I just realized that.

I could use a big hug right now. I don't even know how to describe what I feel. I feel like I'm disintegrating, I think. Whoa.
I'm so sorry you are having a tough time right now. DBT can provide some useful tools and coping skills, but put it aside for now. When you are feeling stronger, see if you can find a DBT group in your area. Maybe your therapist can help you find one. I go to one provided by my local mental health clinic.
