I really wanted to share here!!

Diagnosed with BPD in December 2017. Went through weeks of a therapy group that was all wrong for BPD and didn’t offer anything that would be helpful for it but was told I had to complete the group or my file would be closed in my city’s mental health program I am in. After I finished my profile ended up being closed anyway due to a misunderstanding of what amount of sessions I had completed and I was discouraged until I finally called again and got in to an orientation for a group in December 2018. 

After doing a drop in DBT group for about 6 weeks, being put on a waiting list for 4 weeks and finally getting the call that space opened, I officially start my more permanent DBT group tomorrow!!! I am really happy to finally learn more about mindfulness and how to cope better  with my emotions. I also had my first job interview in over a year today today, after quitting my last job after 1 shift due to extreme anxiety, that went super well and hopefully (fingers crossed) I got it. I finally feel I’m at a place in my life where I’m ready for it.

 I’m really excited to start this new chapter of my life and be able to take the necessary steps in order to learn to manage my BPD better &lt;3
