For you it probably just takes longer.

Were you taking it everyday? You really have to take it everyday in order for it to work.
i took it everyday for 5 weeks then i started not taking it sometimes and now i havent taken it for like 2 ish weeks.

IMHO it seems you need to give another AP a try, maybe with a mood stabilizer in the mix as well. I'm really surprised your doctors only put you on Abilify and expected it would take care of your symptoms.

I'm surprised (also) by the only prescribing Abilify, the referral to DBT along with that, and more recent talk of antidepressants. This is, in part, why I think your providers are seeing things we don't; most people here wouldn't 'recommend' these choices, but these are what your providers, who know you a lot better than we do (you spent a long time in the hospital), have prescribed.

When does DBT start?

I agree. DBT and an anti psychotic. Take the pills and don't quit. Go to class, do your homework and don't quit! (It's a difficult class but its important! I went through it twice.)

Respectfully disagree, I have seen ghosts. People who were with me at the time saw the same aberration too.
