I’ve been in therapy on &amp; off for a few years now but after a break up last year, I’m back at it and in my opinion I am trying so, so hard. 

I thought we were doing DBT this whole time because my therapist said we could, so I assumed thats what it was. After a while I thought, “Why is this not working? Why are my thoughts about my ex getting even worse?” 

After this I just feel beyond help. How is a different kind of talk therapy gonna help? I feel like my only option is a lobotomy.

But anyways, is DBT really that much more helpful than CBT? CBT was just an utter failure for me. I want to be happy and I wanna go to school. I don’t want to think about him almost every waking moment. He is probably doing way better than me right now and has gotten the help he needs. I know I shouldn’t think about his progress but I can’t stop.  

I’m making a DBT appointment tomorrow. I am begging the universe for help but I feel doubtful.
