My psychiatrist told me that this disorder is curable, people can actually not have this disorder anymore. But then he also told me that people have been cured, stopped having symptoms without getting any sort of treatment such as DBT. what the fuck? this made me feel so shitty, as if i'm not strong enough to have cured myself naturally. I can't imagine not having symptoms anymore WITHOUT all the therapy. It's because of the DBT that i'm getting better, and I find it so invalidating to say people have been cured without ever having treatment. Is this true? I asked him if their cases were less severe and he said not necessarily. Am I not strong enough to handle this alone? like that's insanely shocking and i'm just in disbelief.
