I have been doing DBT for the past 9 months now and I've grown and learnt a lot about myself. I'm a lot better at regulating my emotions or what once were impulsive decisions. I have noticed how mature I am and am proud of myself.
However, there are times when people call me names. "Psycho" "Crazy" just to name a few. I have a crippling fear that I am still those things. I wish people that once knew me would stop. I'm tired of it and I know proving myself would make things worse. I just wished they understood better and didn't impact my mental health and self worth.
