> Deneb, has anyone suggested that you do DBT? You seem to have all the criteria to meet the borderline personality disorder. Sadly, so do I. So please don't think I am being mean by telling you this.Yes, some Babblers have suggested I do DBT. My pdoc says I have BPD. We don't really talk about it much and I've been doing a lot better. I hadn't cut for something like 2 years, but just last Tues I cut because I got a needs improvement at work.
> What if you did something to get people's attention by doing something POSITIVE. For example, when I told my short term psychologist what I had done to find another psychologist he was pleased and told me he was proud of me. That made me feel good and I wanted to continue so that he would continue to give me praise. Everytime I did something GOOD for myself, he praised me. The ODs, the cutting and the eating disorder did not get much attention ..... because he didn't want to encourage that behaviour.
>It's just hard to do positive things when I don't feel good.
> I know one thing about BPD ... it hurts like hell. We live in a painful dark world.
