Not Coping

I'm thinking back to my recovery, and I think I lived like that for many years... just kept busy in order to stay well @Birdofparadise8 - it didn't take the pain away, but it diverted the pain for a time. It's not a long term answer, but it's an answer for now - until you get into some therapy e.g. DBT

Yeah I guess. I'm just doing what I can to stay safe @tyme.

Mmm DBT not sure if I like that.

Sounds like you've had not-so-pleasant experiences with DBT? @Birdofparadise8 ?

Did you attend group and individual therapy? If not, most likely it's not the 'real' DBT, but rather, elements of it.

Hello my @tyme 🥰

I just did it with my psych a bit here and there @tyme.

I wouldn’t say I find it that helpful but oh well.

Yeah, you need to have the real DBT I reckon @Birdofparadise8 . Do a bit of research into the original DBT including the duration, the sessions, what it involves.

Doing a bit here and there doesn't cut it.

Hello dear @Shaz51

Ah okay so like the weekly 18 month program @tyme

Twice weekly @Birdofparadise8 . One group and one individual session.

Oh okay sounds a lot @tyme

I don’t think I would have the time for that lol.

I was at uni, and working, and i took a day off everyday for MBT treatment @Birdofparadise8 . IT was a huge commitment. But that's what it takes to get better.
