DBT support group Community Group
This is a group for people who are interested in DBT, are currently in DBT, and have "graduated" from a DBT group.

My husband and I have been together for 14 years and married for 11. I have always lied to him without even realizing I was. I have recently been hiding and emotional affair with my neighbor. It was all emotional and never sexual. I had wanted to stop talking to the other guy but I couldn't. No matter what I tried it seemed impossible. Now I do want to say that I never fell out of love with my husband through all of this. I never fell for the other guy, I fell for the words and compliments he said. It was everything I wanted my husband to say but never did. My husband caught me and I couldn't be happier cause it's finally over. I have a problem with not feeling good enough for my husband and I fear everyday her is not going to cme home.
I recently was told that I have several mental disorders, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and compulsive lying disorder. I would like to start the dbt treatment as soon as possible so I can change the way I think act and so on.
Thanks for all the support and help!

I'm new to this group, and I've barely started treatment for my own BPD. I've never been diagnosed with a compulsive lying disorder, but I admit that I wouldn't be surprised if I have one. And it's hard. My only advice about that is just be honest to the best of your ability... and if possible make your loved ones aware of the circumstances in which you are most likely to lie to them. Make sure they know that you are trying ... and most of all, focus on healing yourself first before you try to heal others.
As for DBT, contacting your local hospital is a good start. Also any state run assistance programs... There are some great groups online... and most areas have at least one psychologist who is certified in DBT. You can get a workbook online or through almost any bookstore. There are also workbooks online. Hope this helps and I hope everything works out!
