DBT! That is the top therapy for BPD, it works better than any other. google search "dialectical behavior therapy" and they also have books with all of the information and at home treatment at the book store. But, you can allways find a therapist who teaches it and do indivual or group therapy. If you have any questions than just message me, k?

Great! Thank-you. I've picked up a few books. I've also made an appointment for a therapist, but I've never been good with talking about my problems- at least not out loud- I feel like everyone's judging (even if everyone has the same problem).

Here's some great news neuro.

DBT neuro talks about the now and how to change the way you handle stress/mind/environment. It doesnt sit there and make you write a journal about your whole entire life. It functions in the present and you don't have to talk about your emotional past.

DBT is a miracle! I've only been on it a week (yes I know too soon) but the first week coping strategies got me through a traffic jam without a single negative though or feeling.

The Angry Heart is a book that digs deep into your past and surfaces that inner self we all tend to run away from. I have this book but I am waiting to read it around July when I am completely finished with my self, 1-1 tdoc, and group DBTs. As you can see I'm very motivated to do this. My tdoc and I are working out of a self-help workbook. I do one weeks exercises and then when i see her review what i've learned. She can give me insight on anything I might have overlooked. In January I begin a 16 week DBT group course.

This is a very Buddhist thing, Tracy. When my ex left me last February I looked into Buddhism, and that was one of the most helpful things: to appreciate the here and the now and let go of the past, don't worry about the future. I was in verrrry slow traffic two weeks ago, stuck for about an hour and a half, and I was ok because I could appreciate the beauty of the trees around me and the sky above.

We take too much for granted.
