My therapist set me up with a DBT class and I have met with the counselor. At this point I have to wait about two weeks. I just wanted to know a few things about DBT for those people who have been through it. Does it take a while for your compulsions to go away, or do you see some results pretty soon?

I've struggled with overeating for a while now. Not just like eating ...

I need to stop seeing the therapist I'm currently seeing, and see another one within the same facility.

For people with experience with this, how in the past have you gone about doing so?

I'm having a little difficulty getting over addictions to alcohol and junk food. I started DBT Wed. thank goodness. I've had wine every day, but since Wed. I have not had a single drink. I'm starting with that, then the junk food. I don't want to go too fast b/c I don't want to crash and go backwards. I'm not an alcoholic or have an eating disorder, this only started when I left DBT a ...

I resumed DBT on Wednesday of last week. After having been out for almost three years. I felt very well Wed. night into Thursday, then regressed. I have been very obsessed with someone but am now feeling the effects of DBT, I'm not feeling the need to chase this person or connect with them.

I'm not 100% sure of what has me in this place. I was away over the weekend for holiday events with ...

This has been consuming my thoughts lately.

How do you deal with these things when the person is still and probably will always be in your life?

You should just stay quiet your whole life so no one else is hurt?

Or should you just forgive them for what they did or accept it?

Will anyone ever believe you anyway?


I'm having a hard time ever knowing what will set me free. What do you ...

Hello

My name is Angee and I have BPD. Sorry I have a lot to say so this may be a book.

I was diagnosed bipolar type 1 three years ago and since then diagnoses have been tacked on. I developed panic disorder a couple of years after that and then I was recently diagnosed BPD after a hospitalization a couple months ago. It sucks too because it seems I got a handle of some ...

My first time attempting to try this right. Usually i am so scared of being alone i lead girls on. I will be trying to get with a different girl that i have less chances with and i will keep a girl on the side, at a distance.

This time it isnt that. I stopped being interested. How do i communicate that without hurting her. I dont want to say i got to know you ...

My marriage is already falling apart.

We've been marrried for 6 months and I've begun to sleep on the couch.

It really is all my fault; it's like using logic and reason are things that I've never learned to do, and is akin to swimming up a waterfall.

His words are like mirrors to me and I see myself clearly, yet I can't find myself caring enough to acknowledge that I need to change. Perhaps ...

I've spent the past two weeks trying to push myself to write an e-mail to someone who used to be a big part of my life over 20 years ago. He left when I was 6 but before that he was something like a father to me. Actually he was the only father figure I ever had but in practice he wasn't my dad and I know I should be grateful just for the little ...

I am currently seeing a therapist who I do not mesh well with at all. She doesn't understand me at all. She's very close minded and I have a very open mind. I've lived in major cities, and have had a pretty crazy life thus far. I feel like she has lived in a barn almost her entire life. Every session I feel like we start all over again, because having BPD, my problems constantly ...
