Can I piggy-back off of this? I have BPD, but DBT is extremely inaccessible to me due to finances, location, and availability. Even finding a non-specialized counselor was difficult, and I was turned down a lot because of caseloads where I live. I’m sure if I managed to somehow scrap up the money and convinced a group to let me join despite being at capacity, I’d find it helpful. Unfortunately I just don’t vibe well with therapy (no offense at all, I just am personally not good at opening up so sessions are often spent talking about anything other than my BPD).
So, assuming DBT is 100% not an option...what’s the outlook for someone who is committed to trying their best on their own? After living with it and not realizing it, do you think there are people out there who are capable of living fulfilled lives without treatment?
