RR, I will be happy to answer these question. First, I have to read up on DBT as the therapy I have been for the last seven years has not been defined. It could be "toilet training your puppy" for all I know. :-)
I just looked at a page on DBT and all of the explanations about BPD made me feel unequal to reading about it right now. So, give me a day or two, when I've had my coffee, maybe had breakfast and dug in my garden for a while, I might feel differently.
Nope, I won't do this unless it feels ok. I'm not someone who has trouble saying no.
But specifically, by name, with pointed finger, I have not done DBT. However, it could very well be a large part of what my T and I have been doing. Stay tuned.
I do have to mention that as far as weirdness goes, there's not one of us on planet earth who isn't seriously weird sometimes. It's part of being human, as I guess you know, and part that I sometimes actually like. Yes, I talk to myself, talk to trees and flowers when I go for walks. I sometimes say inappropriate things to people, most often nice things, but also when someone is rude I often have to tell them so.
Weird, yup, me too.
It's really hard for me not to hate myself sometimes. All of those unpleasant things can loom larger than the nice things, those things I like about myself. That in itself is a symptom, isn't it.
But this is a question you could address to this board in general and you'll surely get some replies.
