I’m not sure if this is a venting post or an advice post...maybe a little of both?   Only this year did I get serious about addressing my mental health through therapy. I’ve been through the ringer with medication over the years, but I’m new to this for sure. The first couple months of DBT were confusing, overwhelming and painful but then I started to feel a lot better.  Like I was making progress. Then around the 3 month mark I started struggling a lot again. Lots of anxiety/panic/dissociative episodes/paranoia.  I am curious to hear from others who have had success with DBT. Is it the kind of thing that gets “worse” before it gets better?  Right now I feel like a lost cause.
