Re: Self Harm
I think you are in a perfect place to do the TAFE course @Angels333 It would be challenging for you mentally but woud also no doubt give you a lot of insight into yourself and mental illness in general. Your lived experience would also add to that and would be an advantage in actually working with people - so I say go for it.
I did an extra module of DBT after I had already done 2 rounds because my pdoc wanted me to. I was so over going each week and going over the same things again but it did also give me some direction in my week ...and I found it much easier to get my head around things the second time around. Only you can know if you want to keep going but I would suggest if it is something that gives you purpose, direction and support then keep going.

Re: Self Harm
Thanks @Jupiter and @Former-Member Nikki. I feel stronger today, but maybe that's because I want to brush all the issues under the rug, I don't want to address them in DBT. I feel like I will take all the energy in the group for myself.
I'll see how I go, thinking a lot about SH...

Hey @Jupiter @eth @MDT @Former-Member @Zoe7 @Bunniekins @Appleblossom @Faith_Hope_Love @Shaz51 @TAB @Adge
I'm having a bad day, DBT was good but I am now really struggling with using SH, I haven't done anything yet but I am so stressed, I am parked in my car weighing up the options... I am not suicidal at all just SH...But it's addictive and I have had such a problem before...
I don't know , hopefully I just go and get the groceries and then go home as planned.
XOXO ANGELS333
