Well... there goes that idea.

HelloBPDContributor

Well... there goes that idea.

Wow. I don't even know how I'm feeling. Besides absolutely shattered.
Who can afford to have a mental illness? I have BPD along with other things and I've just found out DBT that is directed for BPD is $400 for two sessions a week. WHAT ON EARTH?!?!?!?!

How on earth am I meant to beat this illness without the help when I'm constantly on verge on suicide after every disagreement with my partner/a crap day with my kids...

Hey @NikNik,

Sorry I haven't replied sooner. Have been caught up. I don't pay for mine directly. I just pay for my health insurance and they cover it. So my health insurance has to be hospital and extras so it works out to be just over $200 a month
