short intro:
i'm 32. in and out of psych for 15 years now. small country in europe. i was given fistfulls of meds,hospitalised long term,short term and all that jazz. 

TODAY a dr FINALLY did some cbt with a crysis group. im at the psych ward now due to taking a bit too much valium. 

it was breathing exercise. i worked up the nerve,put on my smile and ask her "doctor...is it possible...could it be we're finally doing cbt?!?" she smiles and says yes. i had to ask. had to. "doctor,what about DBT?" she looks at me and says she's getting training in september!!!!
she asked how i knew about it,was it a self help book. no my dear dr. i read marsha L.'s book ten years ago. saved my life! 


THIS IS SUCH A HUGE DAY FOR ME!!!! it's already late for me. the system chewed me and spit me out many times but at least ONE dr realised DBT existed. im happy for future girls and boys who won't have to go through hell i've been put through. 

excuse my poor spelling im too excited.

tl:dr: 15 years in the system,small country,finally someone will be doing DBT. REJOICE!
