Getting to know you!

I have been a hard time with my mental health disorders for the past few years. In and out of hospital and just last year I started DBT which is a very intensive therapy.

I am wondering when will things get any better? Or improve? I am putting in the effort with therapy and I am doing better. As well as I am relatively new to the website. So please any feedback would be very much appreciated.

Hi @Sapphire2

Thanks for posting.. If your asking us if DBT will make you better, we don't know but we can share stories from our own lived experience.

You mentioned that you feel better and that seems to be a good start. Can I ask you what better is? When you define better, what is it about now that gets in your way of achieving better?

What I have found is most people want to get better, but what they want to achieve when they get better is able to be achieved today, they have to believe that they can do it.

Well to change my perception about getting better. It's just going to take time to recover. I think I am trying to quicken the process which is not the way to go.

I am doing DBT and I just need to be a little bit more understanding of this process. So that is why I am looking into the program you have on Thursday night. I need a bit more direction just to talk to think about what I need to do.
